I have too many arcade PCBs, and I also love the Saturn, which takes much less space to collect for, so when there's a very good port Saturn of an Arcade game, I try not to buy the original arcade version and focus on the Saturn version instead.
Which games do you think are so much better/different in their arcade versions, that it definitely warrants playing them over the Saturn ports ?
My question is mostly about shmups, but not restricted to (I'm not that interested in 1 on 1 fighting games though).
So far I would say :
- Gekirindan
- Gun Frontier
- Dodonpachi (I fell in love with the danmaku sub-genre while playing the Saturn version in the late 90s though)
- Donpachi (?)
- Chase HQ (the Saturn port could have easily been perfect and much easier to play than the arcade version, sigh...)
