Ghouls 'N Ghosts - Genesis vs. Super Grafx

[Nintega Grafx-16]

I love that game. Everyone here knows GnG is a classic but no one knows about the Super Grafx version outside of the internet. This is my list of pros and cons for both versions.

Genesis:

+ Cheap
+ Better music
+ Diagonal controls
- Graphics aren't special

Super Grafx:

+ Graphics more true to the arcade version
- Music takes a hit
- Super expensive
- The system is expensive
- The system also has five games

Verdict: GENESIS

No one knows it but the internet?

What about Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts on the SNES? I know the game is different from the Genesis and Super Grafx versions but how does it stack up with them?

It is not even comparable since it is the sequel.

I thought everyone knew the Super Grafx version from EGM magzine pre-internet.

What about the Sega Master System version? Is that any decent? All I have is the Genesis version, I haven't played any other version to compare it to.

The Master System version is as much of a joke as the Super Grafx version IMHO.

I guess none knew about your Honest opinion except those on the internet.

Now, onto a real statement about the Master System version outside if generalized who knows what that was supposed to be. The Master System version of Ghouls 'N Ghosts is actually not too bad. It's not as graphically intense as the Genesis and Super Grafx versions, but it does play well and has it's own strong points as well. I actually like the controls quite well and the frame rate is very nice as well, especially for it being a Master System game. One of the nicer ports to the system, to be honest.

The Supergrafx version is nice also for what it is. It is expensive and it is for a very rare system, but if you have the ability and money to pick it up, it actually is a prettu nice port. I am assuming that most of the people here have played the Genesis version of the game, so I'm not going into it. Seriously, all three versions are worth picking up depending on what console platform you own.

Oh, and Super GNG was INSANE! Excellent game again worth picking up. Word!

I prefer the SMS version only because it's much more accessible to me than the other versions.

For a common collector its a bonus that the game is common on the genny. For collectors...its better that its rare. And as far as the game itself goes, SGX is a better port. But both are very inferior to the arcade. The snes release [a sequel] showed that that system if it were to do a GnG port would trump both.

Except for the slowdown that the SNES port would more than likely have. I think both the SGX and Genesis could have had better versions as the system progressed in it's life span as seen with other ports (limiting the difference between them and any SNES port). But man, S'GnG was one beautiful game.

And this trumps them all.

If only. Problem is, stuff like SF 2 Champion Edition, Dracula X, Gradius 2, ect on PCE proved that really wouldn't be the case. Some people give the Snes far too much credit all things considered. The Pc-Engine easily held its own as it was. The Supergrafx would have done some amazing things if given the proper support. I'm not positive, but I could have swore someone (forgot who) had replicated some of the Axley content on Supergrafx just to show there was still plenty of potential there, and Mal did a few neat sfx things so far too( found here).

Nice little demos. It really would be fun to see what all the Super Grafx is really capable of. The system was so not utilized. Kind of like the 32-X. Would have been fun to see what all could have been pulled off on the unit.

[Arkhan]

Well if you look at Aldynes and GnG on super grafx, you can definitely see that some extremely awesome arcade games could be pulled off on the system.


A castlevania for it would have been <3

and a double dragon.

and some exclusive RPGs.

[Zap!]

And this trumps them all.

Couldn't you find a bigger picture?

[shopkins]

And this trumps them all.

Word, boyee. It cost me like $10, too.

I'm so bored that I read through this whole topic and I can't believe the audacity and utter pointlessness of this shit. This is just my opinion as a poster, of course, but Nintega and all his "enemies" that are still carrying on beefs with him from other forums should be banned not just from this forum, but also from the Internet, gaming and maybe from the written word altogether. This is the best place I've found to talk about video games and collecting but you guys seem determined to do as much as possible to fuck it up.

signed.

But what the fuck did you expect, seriously? Even without even really remembering this nitengron guy it seemed a fairly safe bet that anybody who is making multiple threads along this same simple theme is going to be doing something annoying to people. This is a kind of topic that is better served on a static webpage, on something like hardcoregaming101, even.

(Please don't be thinkin' I'm beefin')

Check this out..

1. Forget about the hardware
2. Forget about the price points, rarity..etc
3. Stack the two games up against each other, head to head

Now.. which game is better?

I LOVE TO PLAY ON EMULATORS!!!1

If you wanna do that, cool. (I do it all the time)

But I just love saving people a decade of going through the same shit I've gone through with all these UBER RARE LEET games that is like "oh shit, I don't even have the console to play these on, haha," awesome.
