Hey guys - tried to search out a topic in this vein, but I was unable to find one.
Had an idea for a topic today. I thought we could try naming some great arcade games that received console ports that never quite hit the mark of the original. We all know of some great ones - ie, Soul Calibur DC port, R-Type Turbografx port.
For me, the first that comes to mind would be Gauntlet. I loved this game as a kid and tried the NES version, the LYNX version, the commodore version, and none of them seemed to match or come close to the arcade experience (perhaps one of the reasons its such a great addition to the Xbox live arcade!)
Same goes for Rastan. The SMS port never did it for me, and as far as I recall, that was really the only one available back in the day.
Anyone think of any others?
