PCE, SNES and Genesis, screen comparison.

[lord_cack]

I think that the Parodius graphics on the PCE are more vibrant. The SNES colors seem muddied and washed out. PCE for me 

[awack]

Snes on top.

[lord_cack]

In stills, PCE's all better. More detailed star field in the Background... colors still washed out on the snes version....

It's a close comparison, but I agree with lord_cack that the SNES is a bit washed out.

[turbogrfxfan]

lets do another comparison.  lemme take a crap and compare that to the snes.  which one looks better?  Hmmmmmmm  looks like my crap has more detail...........lol  pce/tg16 RULES!!!!

[sunteam_paul]

I'm surprised how similar they are. Most of the PCE colours look nicer, although that bird boss has horrible green shading and is much better on the SNES.

I think both PCE and SNES Parodius look great...

BUT SNES VERSION LACKS ABILITY TO PLAY AS PCE CONSOLE, so it loses a point

[awack]

Reading the GNG thread over at the digital press forums, something comes up that Ive heard a few times before, that something is... Super Ghouls n Ghost proves that the snes could do a much better port of Ghouls and Ghost than the pathetic SG or Genesis, so i decided to take some shots to see for myself.

If anyone has better shots of either game, post em.

How does one make that comparison. Thats like saying, I think the PCE would make a much better version of Ghosts and Goblins than that POS NES did, I'll show yah.... 

Point not valid

[Tatsujin]

Ones didn't get the full point of this thread i guess

I just had to chime in on the Parodius Da! screenshots before you guys completely moved on. This is a comparison IMHO where it seems to be a tie. I think both versions are gorgeous masterpieces. I would be proud to own both.

one major problem with the PCE is its missing of two stages (due to limited huey size). and 2nd, there are also almost no parallaxes used.

in contrary, and even the SFC parodius runs surprisingly smooth (regarding its hardware deficit), the PCE takes the 1st place in this category with ease.

I am bidding on a stateside copy of the PCE version, so keeping my fingers crossed that soon I'll be playing this classic. I mentioned in another thread how I was surprised by the fact that ALL versions of the Parodius series seem to be pretty affordable. Hope no idiot eBayers come along to ruin that for everybody. Here is that link again for this great article on the parodius series in case anybody missed out.

Damn 2 whole stages missing      Still a supremely fun game.

I'll take the fifth on GNG. Looks like a cool game though.
