Cracking topic, this one!! You got some in there I share in agreement with, SWIV, Toki, Tekken 2. Some others are Double Dragon on GBA, Bubble Bobble on Sega Saturn I prefer than on arcade, Combat School on C64 I actually find myself playing more than arcade, Salamander on C64 I prefer than arcade (other than graphics, but everything else I think the C64 eclipses), and Bionic Commando I also agree but I actually love the C64 version of that, absolutely blinding conversion. But great, great topic man, I love this one!
It’s great watching these comparisons. My parents saved up for computers because I taught myself programming but I didn’t have enough money to play games in the arcades. I spent time watching others. I guess not much has changed as I watch you playing these games! I do have fond memories of playing silkworm on the Amiga, thanks to either cracking groups or xcopy! Trading disks with friends, awesome memories.
What a great memory Tekken 2 must have been for you. My first Arcade experience at home was with the PC Engine version of R-Type in 1988. It completely blew me away.
There are several games on this list i have yet to play. Now I gotta check em out! You can't go wrong with TMNT I did however grow up playing the SEGA Genesis version. I absolutely love game comparison videos and OSG has some of the very best! This is no exception. Great stuff here!!!
I'll go with Rainbow Islands and Rod Land on the C64: I know, they are minor games (especially the latter) but I have always loved that style of platformers and I think that, while technically inferior and missing some content, they have tighter controls and less cheap AI on the breadbin than in the original version. Also, Double Dragon III is a smoother and much better on the Amiga (and even the C64) than the arcade version (but that wasn't difficult as DD3 is one of the choppiest arcade games ever!)
Dd3 was abysmal on arcade so yeah the amiga was better..I also think that rodland was better on the amiga than it was on arcade and c64.. and maybe pang too
Soul Caliber had to make this list - has to be the Best example of a better home version! Another Dreamcast home port that blows away the Arcade is San Francisco Rush 2049. Man that game is awesome on Dreamcast. 🎮👍
The music to Tekken 2 is worth it alone. Fantastic game, although Tekken 3 was always my favourite. I LOVE Toki (Going Ape spit), but only played the Megadrive version.
I just had an idea, for objectivities sake, would it be possible to stack the home vs arcade versions side by side splitscreen? that way, when there are objective technical disparities between the two, you can at least specify why you prefer that version even if it has assets that are redone to fit within a systems capabilities.
Very cool list. Play Tekken 2 on Duckstation or Beetle PSX hardware with 4K upscaling and it's an even more amazing site to behold, especially when using the warp correction too.
always good to have a showcase of Home Ports better than their Arcade counterparts, because it's usually the other way around, but sometimes game devs really knock it out of the park.
I'd say the Mega Drive ports of Shadow Dancer and ESWAT are far better than the arcade versions, which are really just retreads of Shinobi. I also really like the Spectrum/Amstrad ports of Chase HQ over the arcade one, Love the arcade version, but they're their own thing.
I'd have mentioned Soul Edge/Blade (yeah it was Blade over here but I imported it so stick with Edge when I think of it) on the Playsation as well, that Edge Master mode was a great extra for the home versions & thankfully Calibur kept it going
Lol I did actually have a better run than that..only noticed it was so bad when I uploaded it...out of 20 mins of gameplay I cut the worst 40 seconds possible lol..even had a continue in
Let down by the Amstrads low screen memory “scrolling”. But still a great game for amstrad. Renegade done by the same team is great and also way better than the arcade version. Let’s not forget the 128k remake of r-type which blows the original port out of the water (and into orbit).
Man so love watching these videos as i get to see a few gems i never got to play as a kid as never had the systems, plus most of my mate had amigas at the time haha. Great video as always duddy so roll on the next one :-)
I partially agree with you on Contra. However, Super Contra on the arcade wasnt even a finished product (but was released anyways). The NES version is actually complete, with a few levels that werent on the arcade. I admit though, its tough to suggest this change, as I (and probably most people here) played the NES version first. The graphics and sound are still top notch on the arcade (the YM 2151 sound chip doesnt get the credit it deserves), but even with the graphics gutted and the sound gutted, the NES version still outshines the arcade.
It's all a matter of preference, but I prefer playing the Atari 2600 version of Phoenix & the Speccy version of Metrocross over the Arcade originals. Neither of these ports are as pretty or polished, but they're just easier & more fun to play.
@@jasonlee7816 It's a matter of opinion, of course, but those versions of the game are a little longer, faster paced, and have some platform jumping thrown in for variety. The NES version is almost like a remake, and the PC Engine CD version is like a remake of a remake, with new and better art, cut scenes, better music, etc.
The Capcom games Trojan and especially Gunsmoke, was much better on the NES, with improved gameplay, stages and better balanced difficulty. Same with a lot of Capcom and Konami games released on the NES and SNES.
sorry I have to disagree with bionic commando and rygar, the arcade was much better than the nes version, the nes version of rygar, that music was terrible
Gameplay is much better in my opinion. I played them a lot side by side. Rygar tbh isn't really that great of a game full stop but bionic commando for me is way better on the NES
@@oldstylegaming i guess we are never going to agree on these ones, i loved rygar, the music and sfx were just captivating and i played bionic commando to death in the arcades
@@oldstylegaming i've just been trying both the arcade and nes versions of rygar, sorry to say i did not enjoy the nes version at all, 3 bars of life only, no lives, no pick ups, all monsters need 2 or 3 hits to die, not enjoyable at all, the arcade version was just as i remember
Many of these games don't appeal to me but I would struggle to name many conversions that are better. I preferred Bubble Bobble on C64 since the meanies weren't escaping from their bubbles after 3 milliseconds. The one home version that truly sticks out is Double Dragon 2 on the NES. My brother and I played that to death and it never got old. Much more enjoyable and less frustrating than the disappointing arcade sequel.
It's not quite as good as the Amiga version, but the ST Toki is also really excellent - just marginally more muted and lacking parallax. But it's smooth and playable, with exactly the same gameplay window as the Amiga, and the AY music isn't even too far off.
Turtles In Time was definitely better on the SNES. Remember, arcade games were made to eat your 10p coins so the difficulty curve was way different to home console versions where a hard game that's life limited would get far harsher critique
I would add "Two Crude Dudes" to the mix. As technically limited as the Sega Megadrive version was, it always felt better to me than the Arcade original. I only experienced both via emulation, but I just liked the maneuverability and graphics of the console version a lot more.
The graphics were redrawn with less animation, sprite and tile details, and simplified audio, come on guys, if you're gonna make these claims stack objective criteria side by side.
@@leeboy2k1 : by all means, let's provide "objective criteria" (whatever that is) to what is an inherently a subjective matter. We like different things. Deal with it.
I would like to contest that the SNES Port of Turtles in Time is *_not_* better than the arcade. The only thing the port has over the arcade original are two extra levels (Technodrome: Let's Kick Shell! Acts 1 and 2) and the extra choice of the comic book colors on the turtles. Other than that, the arcade version has the better graphics (the SNES version is missing frames of animation) and the better music.
This is the only time I've total disagreed will all your choices. Each has their own opinion and as you say it would be extremely boring if we all liked the same thing. Saying that the choices you made were quality alternatives. Great idea for a video 👍
There are more home console games more supreme to the arcade Golden Axe - Sega Genesis Operation wolf - PC Engine Rush n attack - NES (2 player coop for the home console,longer stages) Guerilla War - NES Battle City - NES Super Contra - NES Jackal - NES Double Dragon 2 - PC Engine CD,NES Double Dragon 3 - NES I reject SNES TMNT turtles in time better than arcade.
Both Contra and Super Contra are shining examples of games that had better home console ports than the arcades. Not only do I not like the vertical screen for a side scrolling game, I also dislike the ugly graphics of the arcade games, compared to the NES versions.
And then, on top of all that, the Famicom version of Contra 1 was the best, because of added bells and whistles, including cutscenes that were not present in the NES version!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles In Time is the first game I can think of that was better than their arcade counterpart in almost every aspect except multiplayer.
Less animation frames, lower sample rate audio, missing speech samples, redrawn lower resolution sprites with less color, I'm convinced more and more reading comments, that nostalgia clouds objectivity.
@@leeboy2k1 - You got it all wrong. Some of those omissions were actual for the better, believe it or not. The rearrangement of the boss battles and different bosses also made the game better for me and with the basic understanding that the Super Nintendo isn’t an arcade-powered machine, my expectations about the game was in check.
Great list. It´s debatable if the nes games could be on the list as they are completely diferent games (and for better). i would had double dragon 2 on the nes to the list. I also would rate higher bionnic commando. They simply grabbed a awfull arcade and transformed it in a classic. I prefer the genesis version of two crude dudes.the original is a coin stealer, and completely unfair.daytona usa on ps3 is also amazing but i would not says it is better than the arcade because of the cabinet and much better phyical controls. Dreamcast ports have interesting extras compared to arcade originals (altough tecnhicaly most of them are equal). Toki on amiga is an amazing conversion but worst than arcade because one simply thing: one button controller.
Some good picks there, but whether they can be said to be objectively better requires criteria parsing, for example, the way a coin-op flows is designed to generate maximum 'flow state' sensory pleasure, hence the term "coin guzzler" while it can be said that console/computer adaptations can achieve criteria that may be more satisfying from a purchase context, but they really are 'apples and oranges' Great channel btw :)
Of course do disagree about silkworm though, and the SNES version of SWIV whilst we are on that tangent, is superior to the Miggy. I don't know why anyone thinks Amiga silkworm is better than arcade, it looks much worse and there is no music. Arcade was not THAT tough, come on.
Soul calibur defo numero uno, tmnt turtles in time was excellent on snes, tekken 2 baby trips down memory lane amigos, blaze a fatty n you tube all day
I feel like once you get to a certain era comparing the arcade version of fighting games to the home version isn't fair, because yeah Street Fighter 4 is better on consoles. Dreamcast games are kinda unfair because the dreamcast was arcade hardware in a console and if it's running the same hardware, you could just do anything to the home version and it's automatically better than the arcade version by having a single bell or whistle over it.
Double Dragon Sega Genesis/Mega-Drive wasn’t better than the arcade original game if you bothered to hear or see the deficiencies in the audio, graphics, music, sound, visuals
@@jasonlee7816 the whole game is just more polished. The darker colours give it more depth the gameplay is better too I think but as with any game it's completely subjective

Was playing Soul Caliber the other day on Redream and yes it's magnificent, not only in looks but in gameplay. Great list dude❤️👌
Thanks mate hope all is well.
Brilliant seeing Silkworm again, I had it on the C64 and it's still one of my all time favourites. TMNT was also a really good shout here too
All the home versions of Silkworm were better...the arcade one is a bit clunky and the sprites were too big.

Thanks Bryan . Yeah hyperstone heist is great too but the snes turtles is awesome
I'll go with Rainbow Islands and Rod Land on the C64: I know, they are minor games (especially the latter) but I have always loved that style of platformers and I think that, while technically inferior and missing some content, they have tighter controls and less cheap AI on the breadbin than in the original version. Also, Double Dragon III is a smoother and much better on the Amiga (and even the C64) than the arcade version (but that wasn't difficult as DD3 is one of the choppiest arcade games ever!)

Then that means I'm doing my job right ;-)
@@oldstylegaming : Absolutely ! Right now I’m sitting with my trusty old PsOne and playing Tekken 2 , Hahahaha.
What's the music at the start (10 second mark) ? Know every note in my head but can't recall the game ..
Good video. Your analysis is well thought through and you hit the nail on the head in a few words well.
Completely agree on Soul Calibur...
The game that always sticks out for me is Rodland, the Amiga version is far superior
Yeah I mention that in a comment further down mate it's great on the Amiga. Long time no see mate hope all is good with you and your family
@@oldstylegaming yeah as good as we can be Paul thanks👍hope your lot are all good
Yeah plodding along mate lol
I would add Gun.Smoke too!
Can’t agree with Bionic Commando, but spot on with everything else 👍 great vid as usual
That arcade bionic commando footage was awesome. Unrelenting domination of anyone who stood in your way.
Lol I did actually have a better run than that..only noticed it was so bad when I uploaded it...out of 20 mins of gameplay I cut the worst 40 seconds possible lol..even had a continue in
I’d say Outrun on Saturn (60fps and amazing rearranged music). I’d also say Shadow Dancer on the Genesis.
Nailed it....the Amstrad 6128 version of Gryzor/Contra was amazing...give it a try
Will do mate
