Ghouls 'N Ghosts - Genesis vs. Super Grafx

[tomaitheous]

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.

Spoken like a true bridge dweller.


Anyway........

Bottom line.

Genesis version. Yay.

SGX version. Gay.

I disagree. For graphics I strongly prefer the SG version. The rain and things blowing in the wind are everything the Genesisn't. Also, hit a bird and watch its feathers fly. It also has an intro.

Again with the "gay" as a derogatory term. Unless you can prove to me that the game sleeps with men, the game is not "gay".

So is the game male? If it was female, sleeping with men would make it straight. Or could it be bisexual? Also, if Ghouls 'N Ghosts slept with Ghosts 'n Goblins, would that be a form of incest? There's so much to think about with this.

Gay Video Game........hmmmm, I guess I should bust out Bare Knuckle 3 and play as ASH

noone wants to sleep with the ghosts and goblins on NES!

Such a disaster.

That comment was just for the many people on this forum who have never heard of the SGX. I had to let people know how many games it has or else these poor people, who would actually be brave enough to go out of their way to buy a SGX, will be getting a strong case of buyer's remorse.

I regularly prowled Akihabara throughout the 80's and early 90's and always saw SuperGrafx's for sale while the system was brand new and still getting games. I passed on them then, and I still pass on them today

[megasdkirby]

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

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

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.

And this trumps them all.

Couldn't you find a bigger picture?

Genesis: Play on a Genesis or Mega Drive with whatever joystick you want

Super Grafx: Requires an expensive console which is good for only five (?) other games (using the term loosely for some of 'em). You would be well on the way to owning the actual arcade game version if you saved money from the SGX version plus the card

Verdict: Genesis for simplicity and savings.

Don't taunt the Kupo...

EDIT: Also I am very proud of nintenga for making 50 of these topics.

[WoodyXP]

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?

[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.

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.

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.

true but id take game comparisons that lead to game discussing rather than Ebay Price Gouging Alert #932490243902439023403240249.

So basically I was right all along. I didn't even look at the middle pages, like where PC Engine Hell posts links to a dozen eBay auctions, doesn't really change my point, does it?

[Trebuken]

No one has mentioned the following: (as far as I have noticed)

From Wikipedia -
"However, the SuperGrafx can play PCE HuCards, PCE CDs, PCE Super CDs, PCE Arcade CDs, and the native SuperGrafx HuCards. These titles combined total to a very respectable library of nearly 700 titles."

Seems to add to the value of the system. PC-Engines aren't as cheap as they used to be, though you can probably get one much cheaper than an SGX. Having an SGX is more nostalgia for me. COuld never get one back when they were released -- cost tto much then too, espeacially the games. Did you know the games orginally sold for about $110 each -- only 1941 Counter-Attack has retained it's value; Aldynes is close...
