Tenchi o Kurau II, PlayStation/Saturn versions

[mnneurope]

*it seems that this topic needs to be in Off Topic section of the forums... I put it in shmups chat... sorry



I tried to search for topics on this matter, but I didnt find any, and I searched the internet and found only 1 sentence that said:
"SS version is little better, but I dont know why"

so, Im interested in this, which version is better, or, are they pretty spot on ports of arcade version (minus 3 player mode, and a few sec load here and there on PS version)?
*I dont find few sec load on PS version, which I have, a big deal, its not a game ruin like Metal Slugs PS load in mid lvl

was there any cut frames/animation in any version (like in Metal Slug for PS compared to SS version)?
is one version sharper in image/color than the other?

it would be best if some1 had both versions, PS and SS and test them on the same TV set, or RGB monitor or whatever, or if they played both versions

I rly wouldnt bother anyone with this, but this is 1 game that I cant find any info related to different ports, except for jap-sai (arcade-gear) section on this game, and he doesnt say anything about 2 versions - how they compare to each other


Thanks

Tenchi o Karau II is an excellent shmup.

obv I know that its the best, or one of the best - not shmups, and I corrected myself in the first post, I was in Shmups chat, and I clicked NEW topic, I forgot what Im asking about

Tenchi o Karau II is an excellent shmup.

Actually, that game's predecessor was an action game that played, oddly enough, somewhat like a shmup. Well, with a horse. Too bad we received only the crappy PCE SCD at home, but it's not so bad that I don't enjoy playing it from time to time. NEC Avenue releases were always so hit and miss. Strider was a real POS.

I have both Tenchi O Karau II versions, but haven't played them in ages. I'll have to play and compare them, as I've never played them back to back before.

[mnneurope]

that would be great if U could compare them, I doubt they are different in any way or form in a gameplay or anything big like that, Im mainly interested if there are any noticeable animation cut or different colors or something like that

thanks

Nlike a shmup. Well, with a horse. Too bad we received only the crappy PCE SCD at home, but it's no so bad that I don't enjoy playing it from time to time. NEC Avenue releases were always so hit and miss. Strider was a real POS.

I've played most of the PC Engine library of games, I have the first Tenchi o Karau on PCE SCD, I disagree that it's crappy.
I agree Strider ACD wasn't a good conversion but I think for the most part the NEC Avenue games were great.

Fixing now!

Put on your detective cap and find Recap's lis of Sega Saturn arcade ports. The name will stir up controversy, but you will at least know of any deficiencies in the ports... no matter how small.

I only have the Saturn version, so I can't compare myself, but I found a Japanese site that goes over the differences.

Apparently some of the violence was toned down in the PlayStation version; the blood is orange and heads disappear after they've been lopped off.

So yeah, Saturn version seems to be the one to own.

Dedicated cab only!

I mean out of the console ports. Obviously neither of them have 3P support.

Thanks, this question came up a couple of weeks ago and all I could find was that the SS was the better version but not why.

I remember reading somewhere a long time ago that the ps1 port has certain special moves assigned to dedicated buttons.
I only ever had the Saturn version.

I would expect both version to have 3 player co-op... Weird!
Saturn no 3 player support info here: http://www.sega-saturn.com/saturn/softw ... iors-1.htm
Playstation no 3 player support info here: http://playstationmuseum.com/review/war ... oumei-den/
