Trash the Turbo version? It's one of the best arcade-to-console ports on the system, and that's saying a lot considering we're talking the Turbo here.

They best be trashing all the home versions in that case.

Fantasy Zone may be a decent port for an early HuCard, but its probably more like the 20th or 30th best port on the system, considering we're talking the Turbo here. :wink:

If you actually compare the arcade to the Turbo version, its not nearly as close as so many other ports to Turbo/PCE.

20th or 30th? I dunno about that.... I'd say it ranks a little higher than that. IMHO.

It also depends on whether you define the quality/grade of a port strictly on how close/exact it is to the original version or if you factor in how good of a job it is considering the difference in hardware/formats.

Judging under the former rules, Street Fighter II CE is in the bottom end of PCE ports.

Whenever I see self-proclaimed Fantasy Zone-fans talk about FZ games, they always trash the Turbo/PCE version.
Hrm...I guess they prefer the less-colorful, screechy-sound SMS version then.

I think that its because Fantasy Zone II had already come out by the time the Turbo Fantasy Zone was released and most people haven't played the arcade.
