Best of the best on consoles/computers

Best of the best on consoles/computers or What classic multi platform game is best on what console/computer

Many of us had argued about what game is best on which system, I'm even including 8-bit computer fanatics in this. In what I hope can finally put to rest of what truely is the best. But I think we should limit this to cross platform games only, and not system pacific titles such as Super Mario Bros.. But games like Popeye which had appeard on everything from the 2600, TI computers, NES and etc.

MS PAC-MAN ATARI 7800
This is a perfect arcade translation from the silky smooth controls, the graphs and the in-between animations

POPEYE NES

CASTELIAN/TOWER TOPPLER
I list both titles here for claifacation purposes. But having played both versions of the same psudeo 3-D action/puzzle game. The 7800 version wins simply because of not only its graphs but the bonus round has graphics that are to me better than what the NES could ever produce

SPACE SHUTTLE C-64
Space Shuttle games have appeard on the 2600, C-64 and NES. None of these games are very easy to play. But the C-64 version wins not only because it has the best graphics of the 3. But the playability is the best.

DOUBLE DRAGON SMS
This has to be the most under appreached version of this game. But in my opion it is the best. Not only the SMS version is the closest one to the arcade original version. But the SMS version has enough of its own unique twists it actually makes this game much better than the original arcade game.

CHOPLIFTER SMS

DIG DUG ATARI 7800
The closest to the original arcade

JOUST ATARI 7800

Centipede Atari 5200 - With the Trackball this is virtually perfect.

Missle Command Atari 5200 - Didn't have 3 bases but Trackball made it great still.

Pengo Atari 5200 - Better than Arcade version.

Mario Brothers Atari 5200 - I liked this one better than NES

Space Dungeon Atari 5200 - Better than arcade version.

Plus I still love Robotron on the 5200. Others here seem to disagree. They are wrong

Space invaders Atari 2600 - All those options and two players at once!

Demon Attack Atari 2600 - Still cool after all these years.

MegaMania Atari 2600 - Another game that still stands up after all these years

I always liked ROBOTRON on the 7800 simply because of something barely mentioed in the manual and I discovered by accident. You know in the arcade you have 1 joystick to move and the other to control the direction of your fire, you can do that on the 7800. The only problem I found is finding a way to hold both controllers down

Actually you could use 2 joysticks on the 5200 version, it even came with a plastic bit so you could hook your controllers together.

I honestly did not know that
