Golden Axe - Genesis vs. PC Engine CD-ROM2

[Nintega Grafx-16]

Here is yet another "well known version vs. obscure version" thread. This time I am doing Golden Axe for both Genesis and PC Engine CD-ROM2. Is the PC Engine version worth your time? Let's look.

Genesis

+ Great port of the arcade game
+ There is an extra level at the end
+ Affordable
- I always found some of the sound effects weird like that "frickle, frackle" when you slash an enemy.

PCE

+ The cutscenes look..um...interesting.
- Graphics are horrendous compared to the Genesis version
- The redbook music is awful
- One player only
- Costs a bit more than the superior Genesis game

VERDICT: COMMON SENSE ANYONE?

Genesis



PCE



If anyone wants to listen to the awful PCE soundtrack, click the link below.

ANOTHER FUCKING VERSUS THREAD. Nobody should be surprised here.

I would take the Genesis port of anything over TG-16, even CD. The End.

This.

I don't mind comparison posts... IF THEY'RE ALL DONE IN ONE THREAD SO THE FORUM DOESN'T GET FLOODED.

Notice: If I see any inappropriate post coming from certain users here, I will not hesitate to report to the moderators. Post at your own risk.

I'm sure the mods are well aware of you by now.

P.S. Calling something "gay" as a derogatory term? Really?

Make a better one then.

[buzz_n64]

I'd have to agree, I do like the concept, and the info, but Nintega Grafx-16 is making too damn many of these now. Next thing we know, there will be 100 separate comparison threads, one pc engine vs. other systems thread would be more logical.

4 threads in 2 days by the SAME PERSON. The fuck? Stop spamming the forum!

[Baloo]

Why not just make one thread with multiple game comparisons?

You must not have played AfterBurner and OutRun then. PCE Chase HQ is better than the Genesis Chase HQ 2 as well (I know they're different games). Atomic Robo Kid is better on PCE as well. It's the exception, not the rule, but there are some good ones.

Altered Beast and (especially) Golden Axe are leagues better on the Genesis of course, among others.

As well as Lords of Thunder, Forgotten Worlds, Raiden, and a bunch of other ports. Greg2600, ignorance is bliss

I can make myself look foolish on my own, thank you.

/me starts up a Nintega Death Pool to see when he gets banned

Why don't we do another comparison of a different game?

Dragons Lair NES vs Dragons Lair (Arcade)

Dragons Lair NES
+ Better Graphics
+ Fun to Play
+ Lots of Levels
+ Game is NOT Hard
+ Better Animation

Dragons Lair (Arcade)
- Jerky movement of Dirk
- Poor audio especially for it's time
- Slow pace game
- Game didn't stand out for me
- Animation sucks

WINNER: Dragons Lair NES
