The PC Engine version is a super upgraded port of the original PC-88/98 and MSX versions. Falcom later made a new heavy-dutier version for X68000, similar to the the treatment of the later version of Dragon Slayer. Just as with Dragon Slayer, the Genesis/Mega Drive version is a port of the heavy-dutier game. The SNES and Famicom ports use elements from each major version and add in some original art.

Here are some comparison shots from Ys Music Files-



             PC-88/PC-98                                             MSX                                                     PCE



























                     X68000                                           MEGA DRIVE                             SUPER FAMICOM





















The Super Famicom version has drab colors for the backgrounds, but nice vibrant colors for the sprites.


The Famicom version holds up very well against the others, plays better than most and probably has the best system generated music of the console versions.










                PC ENGINE                                          X68000                                             MEGA DRIVE



                 FAMICOM                                    SUPER FAMICOM





       PC-88                     PC-98                     MSX                   X68000                                  MEGA DRIVE







                     PC-88                                                                   PC-98                                                              MSX                   



                   X68000                                                   MEGA DRIVE



The Playstation 2 version has some very nice elements, but at the same time is full of lame elements and features zero scrolling! Not flat horizontally scrolling bgs as in no parallax, but single screens that you walk across like an old MSX game. :P

Considering how vibrant detailed and shaded the PC Engine background graphics are, it's amazing that they still managed to use animated parallax scrolling.

The awesomeness of this comparison is just awesome !!!
I'm very astonished by the FC version which is not bad at all. and when I see the PC-88, PC-98 and MSX versions, I just wish I had more room and more money to get some of this stuff.

yeah the NES one is definitely impressive.  Might be the best looking game on the system really.

I love seeing all of these Ys III screenshot comparisons-->it certainly gives me a greater appreciation for all the nuanced differences between the versions. There is no clear-cut winner, in my eyes. Every platform has something nice to offer (especially when sound effects, music and control are taken into account).

I have never played the Famicom version of Ys III. I'm glad that it plays well, because I have played other Ys games on Famicom and they did not get me particularly excited (granted, I'm partial to the TG-CD versions).

Considering the time Ys III was released for Famicom, I would have expected some more polish (visually).

I love the tunes from the Famicom Ys III version, though.

Hmm interesting look for the different version of Ys III.Even the famicom version doesn't look that bad for a game on the 8-bit console.

Btw has any body did one yet for prince of persia going from sega-cd,snes to pce ?

I got these from Hardcore Gaming 101, not a big fan of Prince of Persia myself.

Good question. The Genesis cart is the obvious winner here, at least in terms of graphics, so what's with the SegaCD port?
