Magical Drop 3 - I only own the Saturn port which is absolutely amazing. One of the very best puzzle games there is. The one player mode is great - the 2 player mode (with a strong opponent) is beyond great.

money puzzle exchanger - This is one of the most overlooked puzzle games for the PSX. This and Puzzle Star Sweep ($5 used at most) are the two best for the PSX (Puyo Puyo SUN and Magical Drop 3 would be the tops on the Saturn). Good conversion and it doesn't appear on ebay or the usual import places very often (I had to wait 8 months to get a copy and it was worth the wait). I'd highly recommend this game if you are a puzzle game fan.

samurai shodown 2 - no idea.

street fighter collection - Slightly better on the PSX... the older games have a bit less slowdown... but I prefer the Saturn pad and I like my fighters on the Saturn so that's where I play it.

sexy parodius - Konami really knew how to drive the 2D capabilities of the PSX. Witness Gradius Gaiden and Castlevania-SOTN. Virtually all of the Konami shooters on the PSX are good - though most would put them equal to the Saturn revs which are also very good.

salamander deluxe pack - see above.

I hear both versions suffer from missing frames in all 3 games.

The Saturn versions probably have downsampled sound effects, missing transparencies.

Thanks for the impressions...
