Few days late into this thread, but like guts said, the 3 home versions are not too far off from each other. It really is interesting how there's no consensus on what people think is the best "16-bit" version. I myself enjoy the pce version as I think along the same line along as black_tiger:
What made/makes SFIICE on PCE so special, is that particularly back in the day, the pros told us it was impossible and that any form of SFII on PCE would at best be severely flawed visually and aurally, because the TG-16 is so terrible.
- It's just awesome seeing this game on the pce.
And this issue...
I still think that all so called bicompatible CDs are just the lower format with an extra label on the package. I will until someone can show some hard evidence to the contrary.
Agh, I can't find it, but I do recall someone verifying that Brandish was pre-loading some town portion(?) of the data into the ACD RAM - and this was actually done by verifying that code being loaded in the ACD RAM as opposed to a seat-of-the-pants observation. I guess it was verified on a emulator. I'll see if I can find that link another time. And according to the Gulliver Boy manual, the FMV supposedly loads faster with the ACD card, but that's just what the manual states, IIRC.
I can't quite speak for the other SCD/ACD games.
