    I think Sega Genesis did an excellent job making arcade ports to the home console. Some of them I don't like but games I do like such as Golden Axe, Turtles Hyper Stone Heist & Street Fighter 2 Championship edition, I rather just play these games on the Sega Genesis where you aren't wasting a lot of money putting in quarters playing these versions of the games.

    I know it's on the Genesis Mini 2, but the recent official port of Fantasy Zone is virtually arcade perfect from what I understand. There's a standalone rom floating around, it's definitely worth a play. Super Fantasy Zone was more of a reimagining of the game. Also, that Frogger port doesn't get enough love. There's a rom hack for it that restores the arcade colors, making it probably the most accurate version along with the original soundtrack.

    The Genesis port of AfterBurner is actually based upon AfterBurner II in the arcade. The arcade AfterBurner footage you showed was from the first AfterBurner game. I can tell because the score was not continuously counting up during gameplay. Plus AfterBurner II has the throttle controls and the first game does not.

    • @GregsGameRoom

Sounds like they didn't and just go by what they think arcade ports were like, like Captain America (which was ported over by Realtime Associates, hardly a worthy company). You usually see this from Genesis fanboys hating on the company that beat their asses regularly in console sales.

    You sure that's arcade footage of Caveman Ninja that you are showing off (It isn't)? The music, nor HUD at the top of the screen doesn't seem quite right, like it's an Amiga version or something. As for the Samurai Shodown port, it's missing a lot more than sound effects and animations, and Earthquake and his stage, quite a bit more.

    I grew up playing the Genesis port of Sunset Riders so I have nostalgia for it but in hindsight there's no nice way of putting it...Konami dropped the ball with the Genesis port. They allowed an inexperienced 5 person team to port it but even had they used a veteran team the executives made the boneheaded move of greenlighting a 4 Megabit cartridge in 1992 when most were double or triple that size at the time giving them no room to work. A few years ago some programmers in Brazil announced they were making a proper port to the game and it looks even better than the SNES port just like the Arcade but there's been no news in the last 2 years since which concerns me that the project is dead. Anyway, can't wait for Part 2 as there's many others out there to cover like Mercs and Cadash! 😎
