PCE, SNES and Genesis, screen comparison.

[SuperDeadite]

Super GnG may look better in screenshots.  But in game, the SG GnG is way better.  The SNES game really lacks in animation.  Ever seen SGnG's Ice Demon boss?  It has 2 frames of animation yes, just 2!  SGnG is also a really slow game.  SG GnG has much better animation and runs about 2x faster then SGnG.  SGnG is boring to be honest. So damn slow....

[Joe Redifer]

Agreed.  Ghouls n' Ghosts on almost any system is a better game than Super Ghouls n' Ghosts.

Yeah, it was always my least favorite. Ghosts 'N Goblins on the NES has the most nostalgic pull over me, so it's my fav.

[termis]

Yeah, I feel the same way about Super GnG (slow & tedious gameplay, plagued by slowdown, etc), but most seem to like that version for some odd reason.

Daimakaimura arcade is the best of all of em ever made! period.

I have been playing its american arcade counterpart on Capcoms Classics Collection Vol. 1. Ah, the memories.

I like the SGFX ones music more, but thats because I like the PSG > FM in general usually, lol.

You guys are all on crack, the SNES Super Ghouls n' Ghosts was excellent!  The music was so amazing, great level design, awesome graphics, and was just as challenging as the others.  Boring?  What?  Are we looking at the same game?

I think its a very well done game, just as good as the SGX and Gennies GnG games, I was very happy to see the series get a proper third game.

Yeah I love the SNES Super Ghouls n Ghosts.  Graphically, and musically it's an amazing game.  Yes it's slower, but it was an SNES launch title.  Most games during launch suffered from slow down.  I do however hate the fact that you can't shoot up or down like in Daimakaimura.  That does limit the gameplay some.  However I do feel that Super Ghouls in Ghosts was a great game.  If it's one that I hate it's the PSP version.  Why everything had to be 3d polygons was rediculous.  It made the game play very stiff.

[SuperDeadite]

It's not the slowdown that hurts SGnG, it's the slow pace period.  There were some good ideas, just dragged out way too much.  Like the raft ride was a neat idea, but dragging it out for 3 solid minutes was just not needed.  It's kinda pathetic really that the original 1985 arcade game, and even the 86 glitchy as hell NES port moves at about 2x-3x faster then SGnG.  And there's the awful animation too.  The snow level Ice Demon boss thing has zero animation at all.  The sprite just floats around the screen, again the NES had better animation...

[geise]

Well I don't fell the SNES/SFC Super GnG is a bad game based off of it being slower.  I do like the boss designs better in Ghouls n Ghosts.  Most SNES games were always a bit slower than other systems for some reason.  I understand what you're getting at.  I just don't think that the SNES one is a bad game.  I liked it and I like Ghost n Goblins and Ghouls N Ghosts.  I just think it's a bad comparison since it's 2 different games.  It's been a while since I've been through this thread.  Was there a comparison of the Genesis/MD version of GnG and the SGFX version?  That makes more sense since they are the same game.  Of course the SGFX one would win for me, but I like the x68000 version as my personal home favorite.

I dug up a dead horse up and raped it.

The SCIV and Bloodline rips were put together from various other rips on the net.

One thing i noticed after playing Rondo and then going straight to Draxx, is that Dracxx feels likes its in slow motion,especially the boss fights, i mean sloooow.

Ive checked out other snes, gen and pce games of this type incuding Contra, the batman games, Shinobi etc, nothing really compares.

Woohoo! I knew something was missing from the forums - an awack update.

Some of those comparisons are beyond pitiful. lol Where to begin?

[Joe Redifer]

Man, that makes me want to throw away PCE Dracula X.  So pitiful!
