The Genesis has only 8 MEGA POWER. The PCE ACD version is, what, around 9 MEGA? 8.5 MEGA? Yeah it will have a couple more frames and AWESOME color!

I think the converted PCE pal screenshot has nicer shading than the arcade!A while back when Tatsujin started a thread about SFII port resolutions, I made some regular sized Forgotten Worlds screen shots, including the arcade colored with PCE palette colors. The left image is the regular arcade, the right is the arcade in PCE color-The PCE pallete sure loves CPS games. Too bad more developers didn't take advantage. I think that most of the sprites in the game were transferred pixel for pixel, making them even bigger on screen than in the arcade. If having CPS arcade sized sprites against backgrounds like these means a little flicker, I'll gladly take it over an average 16-bit console port. The game still runs at a higher resolution than the regular resolution of every Genesis and SNES game while maintaining a high level of shading and detail. This combo is a real strength that the PCE has over the other consoles and should have happened in more games, especially non-sprite intensive stuff like RPGs. It still wouldn't have taken much to add some layered scrolling in places, but it always seems that every PCE developer only knew how to do some things, but none knew how to do them all. But with sampled sfx and CD music, layered bgs really are the only element missing aesthetically.Here is the regular arcade and PCE screens lined up-I like the changes they made with the coloring, but like the blue highlights on the bg should have been kept.The Genesis version still has nice graphics and was very impressive and really fun when it came out. It was one of my favorite early Genesis games.
