I did some comparison pages for "Aero blasters", unfortunately, they were written in Chinese. I use google translation to translate those pages to English, still weird but readable :)

Nice comparison article, saintfu.  The MD version clearly replicates the arcade original more faithfully and looks better overall, though there are a couple of spots where I think the PCE version looks better.

That's a great comparison. I basically second what Necro says about it. My only issues with the MD version is the colours can seem washed out in places.

...the colours can seem washed out in places.

And overly vibrant for background colors in other places (i.e. - purple buildings).

P.S. - There's no 'u' in color.  Canadians.  [-(

My own Aero Blasters comparison article is still the closest to how I feel about the issue.

I also did a Ninja Spirit comparison article 3 years ago. I tried to do the English version yesterday. Please ignore the grammer mistakes, I think it's better than Google translations. :mrgreen:

Another nice comparison, saintfu.  Have you any more?  Please say yes.  8)

The detail found in the Arcade version far surpasses the PCE version, but the color palette is a very different story; man, the Arcade looks like a pastel, washed out wreck in comparison.  Note to self: play Ninja Spirit tonight.

 Very nice! :D I also like the part where you go into detail about the PCE's scroll tricks (ala Winds of Thunder and such). I also agree that IREM kind of had a weak music engine for the PCE. I mean, I like the tracks because I heard first, before ever playing the arcade. But in general, they are more PSG-ish (square waves and such) than WSG setup with samples. I can see that some of the BG parts were made black, but they could have just made them non scrollable and left it at that. I suspect hucard space was the prime motivation to go with some black parts of the BG (like the wall coming down level and the last level). Anyway, I've really enjoyed both your comparison articles.

I completely agree. The colours on the arcade look washed out in comparison to the pce. As saintfu said in his review, the sound could have been handled better on the pce. But for an early release, NS is a great port. Hell, it's a great port regardless of the release date.

Oh and another great comparison saintfu! Don't be afraid to share more.  :mrgreen:
