Yes, the Amiga version's music was amazing. One of the few games I used to just leave running so I could listen to the music. I see OSG doesn't agree, but I thought it fitted the game beautifully with its folksy Jethro Tull-ish vibe that complemented the fairy-tale feel of the game. I mean, c'mon: czcams.com/video/vAasq0Uxmsk/video.html It was amazing hearing such subtle flutin' coming out of my humble Amiga :)
yeah i've always been Amiga/C64 headstrong but in recent years Ive found, well, the 'competitors' I never gave a chance because of my blind worship are actually pretty awesome and I am finding myself rarely playing the ports I used to. Having said that I still wouldnt trade my time again with those systems -- trading tapes and disks at school was one of the best things ever! :D
Honorable mention for your honorable mention: the version of Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts included in the Capcom Classics Collection for PS2. It runs much smoother than the original SNES game, which had a lot of slowdown. I'm not sure if this is due to accidentally inaccurate emulation timing or if they intentionally overclocked the emulator. I'm also not sure if the OG Xbox version is like this because I don't have it. These Capcom Collections also have really ugly video output due to bilinear filtering that cannot be disabled.
The PC engine SG version are impressive. Same audio hardware and additional vram and another independent scroll. That's proof that the only one thing need to success even more is the independent scroll.
Use to love this game tho only had the amiga version and played the arcade far to much, man i think i would be rich if i didn't play so many arcades back in the day haha. Great video as always buddy and will catch you in the next one :-)
What a great video. Thank you. One of my all time favourites on the Megadrive. That’s still the version I prefer as they added a checkpoint at the boss making it marginally less difficult. As others have said Super Ghouls n Ghosts is a different game - equally brilliant. Capcom could do no wrong in the late 80s and early 90s
I actually never played ghouls n ghosts till a few days ago and man... what a damn good game! Im trying to get my hands on a Sega Saturn copy now. Happy to discover this old classic!
Great comparison video like others I think the emulated versions probably ranktoo too highly (especially those that managed to mess up the palette!) Can you do a P47 comparison video at some point?
For me : superhard game ! Never finished it. Not even once. Not even close. I’ve only ever played 3 versions ; arcade , Amiga and Nes. Love the whole concept of the game , but it have made me grind my teeth , curse like a sailor and raised my blood pressure. Very well made video , my good man.
Great video mate, snes version looked awesome, no wonder it didn't make list as did look very different to the other games that was trying to be like the arcade games. Enjoyed this 👍
I don't understand why people keep saying that Super looked different than the original version. It's just got double jump, instead of multi directional firing it's game play is a tiny bit slower. and the levels are different....but that's it. I'm perplexed 😆
X68k version all the way for me mate, great video and you're right it's probably impossible to split the top ten versions without winding someone up. Love it.
I am ...and i have lol. I dont do it often but I cant just put it above cos i like the system better or C64 would be either 1st or 2nd all the time hahaha
Hi from up the road in Walker mate. Great video as usual but disagree with a few things. The Amiga version and the Tim Follin soundrack is amazing, atmospheric, spooky, and in my opinion, fits in well with the subject of the game. And the Snes super ghouls n ghosts was by far the best version of the game, admittedly, not a true conversion, but still in the family with the same music, characters etc. but hey, it's all about opinions, and that's what makes video games great! Keep safe!
Mega Drive is the definitive home version for me, in spite of the memorable, melancholy tunes of the c64 version. Super Ghouls n' Ghosts is a separate game, I think more properly titled Ghouls n' Goblins (Ghost's n' Goblins 3).
Yeah thats why i never included it in the comparison, I suppose (and said in the video) that everyones top 10 would be different. I personally think that the SuperGrafx version is brilliant but we all like different stuff and thats alright ;-)
Ghouls 'n' Ghosts already had music that was perfectly appropriate for the game (it's one of my personal favourite video game theme tunes) and gave it much of its character. I didn't like the Amiga or the C64/Atari ST versions. I like the start of the Amiga tune as far as taking a darker more ambient approach but then there's this more frantic section which just spoils it for me. While the C64/Atari ST music is kind of cool in its own right, it doesn't seem to fit the game. For some reason I think it would have fit a game where you're a spy or something. What really gets me though is that the Amiga version of Ghosts 'n' Goblins was an incredibly well done arcade port (minor control issues such as not being able to turn and fire mid-air aside). This felt SO amateurish! Unfortunately it's something that was common on the Amiga. So many of its ports and even a fair amount of games that originated on Amiga had a janky, homebrew vibe to them. I know that homebrew vibe is part of its charm for some, and allegedly part of the reason so many ports turned out how they did is because developers of home ports for computers often didn't have access to resources such as source code. They essentially had to play the game and then try to recreate it. The Amiga also received quite a few ports from lower spec machines and the games weren't optimised to take advantage of its hardware. I just can't help but wonder how some of the ports would have turned out in the hands of talented developers that could get the best out of the hardware with all the resources they needed (time, money and relevant code/assets). Its hardware at the time of its release was extremely powerful and we could have had some really impressive arcade ports. Something I felt hurt the experience of gaming on the Amiga was the adherence to one button control schemes. The Amiga could support at least three buttons and I read somewhere that four button controllers were theoretically possible. At the very least, two button controllers should have been standard from the beginning. So many games would have benefited from not being restricted to one button.
I agree with the entire list except for the SNES comment- if I remember correctly, that game is unplayable with all of the slowdown. Best native port is the Supergrafx for sure.
I wish I could play the arcade version but with the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive music since it's the version of the music I am used to and, therefore, the arcade music sounds just slightly off to me even if the arcade music is the original version.
Great video and a great game. Never tryed the PSP but with a modern aspect ratio looks great.The snes version is in spite of being different it has a unique double jump mechanic that makes the game better . It would be a classic like the original if it wasn't the problem of having limited continues. Impossible without savestates
I can't really fault your list, even though I am a Spectrum and Amiga fan given the list I can see why the home computers placed so low. As for the ST and Amiga versions, I think they are pretty close. I have played both versions and I can't actually decide which is better. In terms of gameplay they are pretty much identical. Graphically they are similar although the ST looks a little more zoomed in (possibly to help with scrolling) and it also lack some of the detailed backgrounds that the Amiga version has although that doesn't actually impact on gameplay. Musically however is where they differ wildly and I am very torn. On the one hand you have the ST which has more of a spooky, eerie title screen tune and first level whereas the Amiga has gone for a heavy folk song style for the title screen reminiscent of Jethro Tull. I don't know why the Amiga didn't have a souped up version of the music used for the ST. Levels 2, 3 and 4 have the same tune although again it is a choice as to whether you prefer the sampled music version of the Amiga or the AY chip verion of the ST. If I have to give an edge to one of them in terms of the tunes themselves it would be the Amiga but I much prefer the title music on the ST as a game tune. However I feel both of them lose a little for not having spot effects and such during game play, only music. I would love to have seen the Amiga have essentially the ST soundtrack and free up a channel for some sound effects as it is an empty experience playing in silence and games like Turrican showed that the Amiga was more than capable of doing music and sound effects together (heck Ghosts & Goblins on the Amiga showed that).
Why do people say that Super G&G Is a different game to the original G&G? 🤔 I've played the heck out of both this and the original G&G and they are very similar, the only difference is that Super has double jump and not multi directional firing. Its a bit slower than the original but the levels, graphics design, music and gameplay is almost the same! I just find it strange 🤷♂️
I think that it was correct to place the C64 version that low. Two things that I really like about it though is the music and the characterful exaggerated cartoonish arm swing of the main character when he's running. Polar opposite to the really stiff looking main character on the Amstrad.
The SNES version is the best. I enjoyed the megadrive port but graphics sound and feeling of accomplishment once you get the true ending are all in favour of the SNES game.
I was like - the snes is THE ONLY version!!!! - slowdown aside, I loved that game on the snes, especially the music and the later ice world. I only heard about the sharp one recently,, I don't think it was too popular outside of japan. I have to agree though, super ghouls and ghosts is more of a remix than it is a port of the arcade.
@@Nossieuk you can double jump but not shoot up so the controls feel way different. It has different enemies, bosses, stages and power ups. I’ve never met a single person who thinks it is a port of any kind.
It is actually a completely different game that uses aspects of the original thats why I couldnt include it, I see both sides of the argument here though as they are so similar in looks, i think the main reason though that it doesnt meet the criteria and the 8 bits do is that the 8 bits will have tried to do it right while the Snes version just went all out and showed what it could do...The Snes could have had an almost arcade perfect port if they had stuck to the script...but tbh im glad they didnt
I’m surprised at 9 because the Genesis version is the definitive version for me. Mainly because it was the first 16-bit game I owned and to this day still one of my favorite games of all time. Similar to Strider, it’s a game I associate with the Genesis over the arcade because I spent most of my time playing those versions.
See thats why i say its completely subjective...i dont actually like strider either..i loved it at the time but now no... the Mega Drive is good dont get me wrong and any of the top 9 could have been in a different order
@@oldstylegaming I mean, I’ll be honest I don’t disagree with the top 8 after finishing the video. I just meant the Genesis was my personal favorite. And when I started the video I wasn’t thinking of the arcade emulation versions. Of course those would be better than a limited home console from the same era. I think considering everything the Genesis version is very impressive. It was a launch game, or I think it was.
@@oldstylegaming ah yeah, and I’m not meaning to sound half as combative as I probably do. If anything your video makes me want to go and play some of these versions that I never have before!
Don't agree with 2nd place 3rd place and 4th place they looked awful even the trustee Mega drive version looked better. But yes this was the 2nd game I completed on my Mega drive the 1st being Altered Beast, still remember my brother screaming "get the daggers" every time they dropped from a pot still says it to me now when we speak on the phone etc etc thanks for another great video OSG.
Rank N°3 is waaay over estimated.... I mean, surely I has nice graphics but that's not all... Sound stays far behind other ports... Colors are surely closer represented in all cd based system for sure.... A correction: that's not a pc engine game. That's a Supergrafix game, a console retro compatible with the pc engine but upgraded from it and featuring about five or so games....
Hey man. Not sure why you don't have a cutoff point around the end of the 16-bit era. The hardware of the later machines just dwarfs the original arcade cabinet so don't really see the point in them being in the list.
The hardware might dwarf the original but retro gaming is not just about looks ... its about a feeling...a package ... nostalgia so while the hardware thing might be an issue overall it doesn't mean that it's better... I mean the x68000 and yhd pc engine normally prove that and the arcade normally tops the chart as those cabinets hold so many memories.
@@oldstylegaming Yeah I guess. I think my problem is that there are systems on there that could easily replicate the original pixel for pixel and note for note. It seems fairer to discount those machines in favour of the lesser machines that had to recreate the game with fewer resources. Still love the videos though man :)
Why can't they get arcade perfect on any these systems with there being more powerful but with out original arcade. Are you talking about graphics arcade perfect 8n this video that these do not have?
Have to say the Megadrive version looks and plays better to me than the emulated Xbox and PlayStation versions. Plus it being so good while being coded and not emulated puts it on par with the arcade for me.
Android version should be at the lowest place, because no serious gamer even plays a game with crap controls. Otherwise you are not judging the game, but only the graphics... Also: obviously comparisons spreading over generations of hardware usually are balanced towards the lower end system in so far, that you usually rate the game in relation to the possibilities of the system and not on an absolute scale, because the later scheme doesn't make any sense, as you would for 95% only rate the hardware performance instead of the individual versions quality. It's kind of common to put 8 and 16 bit systems on one scale, because these mostly coexisted the majority of their lifespan. But not 32 bit systems, because these where released much later and of course differ too much. Also the later release date makes the versions of older games which got released for the 32 bit systems more like remakes than being an 'original', no matter what they are called..
I compare all official releases mate. The android one I think can be used with a controller too... I didnt have a wireless controller that could connect to my phone so I had to go with the screen controls. I compare them on all aspects gameplay sound and graphics ... the hardware doesn't really come into it as a game is an experience ... I dont play a game and thing this is actually better than other versions cos it pushes the 8bit to the limit .... there is no way that the mobile version is lower than the amstrad or spectrum even with the crappy controls
yeah but you know makaimura franchise has only five games (without count the golden knights and the gba v. as separate game), so Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts in the video is too much, but ok.
@@MauricioFelippe super ghouls n ghosts is in because this is actually a remake of a video I did a few years ago and the most said thing in the comments was ... why isn't super ghouls n ghosts in the list
I understand why the SNES version isn’t here but I love that version and still play it to this day.
The music in the Amiga version is brilliant.

C64. Stage 5(?) with tongues was glitched - could never finish the stage, as one of the jumps would always miss.

Why can't they get arcade perfect on any these systems with there being more powerful but with out original arcade. Are you talking about graphics arcade perfect 8n this video that these do not have?
Spectrum version was a trillion times better than the amstrad version
Have to say the Megadrive version looks and plays better to me than the emulated Xbox and PlayStation versions. Plus it being so good while being coded and not emulated puts it on par with the arcade for me.
its no where near as good as the X68000 or the PC engine though
Played SNES game back in the day, failed miserably 😟
Top 10 is very good, shame about the Amiga version
True, although some people still like the Amiga version...but its not for me
@@oldstylegaming after playing it I have to agree👍
Lol and cyberpunk is struggling to hit 9 platforms ;-)
Cyberpunk looks awesome though
@@oldstylegaming ;-)
im a painter and decorator and look nothing like that lol
Can you shoot lances out of your groin? lol
@@oldstylegaming Not lances no. I never played this one... is it better or worse then Ghost n Goblins?
The X8600 was actually used as a developed platform for a number of arcade games by a few manufactures.
Supergrqfx over the Saturn? Sorry but to me is not even close. The Saturn version js far better
i didnt think so when i played them but everyones different mate
Android version should be at the lowest place, because no serious gamer even plays a game with crap controls. Otherwise you are not judging the game, but only the graphics... Also: obviously comparisons spreading over generations of hardware usually are balanced towards the lower end system in so far, that you usually rate the game in relation to the possibilities of the system and not on an absolute scale, because the later scheme doesn't make any sense, as you would for 95% only rate the hardware performance instead of the individual versions quality. It's kind of common to put 8 and 16 bit systems on one scale, because these mostly coexisted the majority of their lifespan. But not 32 bit systems, because these where released much later and of course differ too much. Also the later release date makes the versions of older games which got released for the 32 bit systems more like remakes than being an 'original', no matter what they are called..
I compare all official releases mate. The android one I think can be used with a controller too... I didnt have a wireless controller that could connect to my phone so I had to go with the screen controls. I compare them on all aspects gameplay sound and graphics ... the hardware doesn't really come into it as a game is an experience ... I dont play a game and thing this is actually better than other versions cos it pushes the 8bit to the limit .... there is no way that the mobile version is lower than the amstrad or spectrum even with the crappy controls
GokuMakaimura is not DaiMakaimura put the snes game in this list has not sense, control wise the mega drive version is the best.
That's why it's not in this list....
yeah but you know makaimura franchise has only five games (without count the golden knights and the gba v. as separate game), so Super Ghouls 'N Ghosts in the video is too much, but ok.
@@MauricioFelippe super ghouls n ghosts is in because this is actually a remake of a video I did a few years ago and the most said thing in the comments was ... why isn't super ghouls n ghosts in the list
is better explain why sgng isn't in the list to the peasants, or be prepare to appear some crazy nerd in the comments telling you to remove it hahaha
