Donpachi console port quality

UnknownSou · Post by **UnknownSou** » Thu Jun 18, 2009 5:50 am

I've been looking at picking up a few of the shooters I've missed over the years, and next on my list is the original Donpachi. I've heard that the Saturn port is kinda lacking, but that the Playstation version of the game is very good. So how do these compare to the arcade version? Is the PS1 version somehow arcade perfect, or do either of the ports have some sort of extra modes over the arcade original? Or do I just need to put this on my list of PCBs to track down?

Thanks.

The FAQ has a list of "which port is better" threads for a couple of games, check that.

Oops, thanks. I always seem to read DP as DDP.

When in doubt go Sega Saturn. I believe it is even mentioned on the main shmups page the Saturn version is the one to get.

Covered over, and over, and over again.
