2600 is what I experienced as a child, and is still my favorite due to a combination of sound, graphics and game mode options.

I played this one in my Amstrad quite a lot. Graphics were nice, and it was playable enough, but the scroll was terrible (nothing new for Amstrad users, though). Also, I kind of remember that it had no sound at all, even when I had the floppy version. That said, many games had the same crapppy scrolling in the CPC. I remember Titus de Fox, or the Blues Brothers, among many others.

At 0:51 is there Ristar mother?

SNES and Genesis! Wii U: Oh no! Wait for me!

I simply must know how home computer owners justified games like this in the waning days of their systems. Did C64 and Amstrad people try to say that they didn't need advanced graphics and background music because they were more mature or something?

I wish this game could come to Switch. If only the rights weren't as complicated to obtain.

Amiga 500 version works better in NTSC.

Amiga - classic. ST - not as good as Amiga, jerkiness and lack of colours are evident. C64 - great version, looks a bit rough but probably much better on CRT. ZX - Meh, they probably did the best they could on a system, but still.... CPC - rubbish. ATARI 8-bit : what a hell is that.

All the US Gold versions stank 😂

The only legit versions are the Commodore ones and the Remix-version for Atari ST. Graphics, gameplay and level design on point and Daglish music. I have NO idea what that Acorn Archimedes abomination of a game is doing. Is it a game about a postal worker going berserk on his jogging round in a park? Soft but horrible animations. And why make the music worse on a probably better sound chip? That's crazy. And why have a completely different level layout?

Poor Atari ST. Always disappointing. That FM Towns version though, it looks ahead of its time.

Nintendo NES Tiene las mejores cinematecas

Man.....this have been in my memory for so many years since I last played it in my old chunky dead NDS........ I never thought that it had a lot of other version! Pretty cool

They have it on Intellivision now and it has a level editor and a save feature for the custom levels and High Scores.

This is why Sega hid it. Brad is still alive and probably asking for way too much $$.

I can't stand the prototypes, they're horribly arranged. Not catchy. Don't match the level at all.

4:26 they spelled the company's name wrong o_O

Amiga Mutoid Man: 😑

The Atari 2600 version is missing! :) I don't know if it was a full game or just a short demo proof of concept but it was impressive nonetheless given the hardware.

The Amiga and Atari ST versions look bored.

It's insane that Mappy has so many versions when not even having another game for over a decade!

TG CD has the best music

Also seems "impossible" that this game was made in 1984. Compared to the other games from the same year, it is far beyond it's time. It was my favourite game on my C64.

9:45 What….

The LYNX version is actually quite playable compared to the Amiga.

👍👍

El modelo de Luigi se parece mucho al de Mario

The Master System and Atari ST ports are such a joke. Those two systems are FAR more than capable of what was released...

C64 still looked and played the best. Can't say I'm a fan of those goofy re-skins though, that kinda made it look like Impossible Mission: Scooby-Doo edition.

Master system is 8 bit

AVGN: ghostbusters on Nintendo sucks ass!

the game boy version is probably the worst version

The C64's music - simply awesome!

Riding a horse and punching bats in the face.. interesting

I never thought much of the game and it felt more like a tech demo on what the hardware could do, in this case, the Amiga original. I do feel the Amiga version is the overall better one, it's got that gritty feel from the visuals and music, whereas many of the other versions seem to have messed that up and gone for a cartoon like look, especially on the colour palette that looks quite bad on some versions. I do wonder how much better the Amiga version could be over the original, especially because when the game was released, the Amiga was getting a lot of ST ports with little in the way of enhancements and developers were still figuring out how to use the Amiga hardware, which is in the early 90's where it really shined, so I wonder how much more they could get out of the A500 if the game was released around 94 and not 89.

The gameboy advance music and gameplay is surprisingly impressive 🤘

Great stuff!
