PCE, SNES and Genesis, screen comparison.

[Necromancer]

Heh, nice.  I didn't even know it was a port of a Neo game.  Too bad I don't know how to play mahjong.

People often bring up the PC Engine Arcade Card "Neo Geo ports", but no one ever mentions this one-


Quest of the Jongmaster

NICE!

Damn, I have so many half-finished things need to complete.

And now I have to add a mahjong section!

I think it's interesting that the border was removed.  That seems like an odd thing to remove...

Could have been a development thing. Is it really needed for the game? no, scratch it and work on other parts that benefit the game. Or just plain laziness

Good comparison, they could have done a better job on the title screen for the pce port.

Probably because of the different resolution, so they could fit more of the actual image in.

They actually redid the cinema shot graphics, which you can see are taller than the view area of the arcade. I think that they just wanted a less arcade feel as the PCE version is expanded to be more console like.

They just look stretched to me :S
Still, aside from the cheap title screen, a very nice port from the looks of things.

We have covered most games of interest in this thread. It could even be argued we went a little mad in places too!

Anyone have any ideas on what to compare next? Surely there is something we have missed.

Well, because I am Obsessive CompuServe, I wouldn't mind MORE screenshots from SAME games, but LATER stages!  Also, I loved when Arjak really matched up to get the EXACT same location in the two (three) ports he was comparing.

But, since you want a new game... has Populous been done? I can't honestly remember.

OH, WHY OH WHY CAN'T WE SEE A MARBLE MADNESS COMPARISION. Whatever happened to that alleged prototype?

More PCE vs ARCADE shots. Also PCE vs AMIGA and MASTER SYSTEM & C64 & ZX SPECTRUM!

Yes! MOAR!

[BigusSchmuck]

How about comparing the Snes Wizardry games to the PCE ones?

[Tatsujin]

MUCH MUCH MOAR!!!

I don't think that P-47 was done yet. Arcade on top, PCE below:









It's hard finding undistorted matching screen shots of Cobra II, but here are a couple that indicate that the games are likely as close as they seem during separate playthroughs-
