PCE, SNES and Genesis, screen comparison.

Is the PCE being pushed so hard that it couldn't portray any stars in the background in the bottom right pic? Otherwise pretty close.

Master System looks better.

Did the Master System version have animated doorways? I can't remember.

Master System looks better.

So in that case, the Master System looks also better than the arcade?

Based on memory I usually can't tell the arcade and PCE versions apart. People always say that R-Type on the PCE was the first great arcade-to-home conversion. I think Monster World might predate this. If that is the case then Monster World would be the first of the many.

Those were the closest screens I coukd match up. The arcade version actually has rain. There are extra scenes in the PCE version and two battleship fights. The other one might have been closer to the arcade. The PCE version is very solid, but a bunch of stuff was cut to keep the rom size low and it could have been programmed better to keep stuff like the big hilks intact.

[Tatsujin]

Yeah, f.e. no extra drop bomb explosion animation. no train boss in level 1 etc.

I still think it is a very close port, especially graphical wise. The parallax in lvl2 even looks better than the arcade.

That's about right. I very much love the SMS port too. very nice and as good as possible done on the SMS. especially with FM support

Ah that is rain! Forgive me. I haven't played the game yet.

BLACK TIGER: These comparisons are great!

Suddenly Gunboat doesn't look so bad.
