I usually find the more primitive looking versions the more interesting ones. It's more fun to look at the ones who at least try than the ones who can do it effortlessly.
Oh, man a vacuum fluorescent display (VFD) tabletop version! Those are true classics. Ate batteries like crazy bc VFD is kinda the worst tech for this thing, but looked good.
I had the Entex handheld game, and it was an absolute nightmare to see the bullets among the scrolling stars. In the end, my dad got some coloured acetate and stuck it over the screen to make the green stars look much darker, which finally made the game playable.
Eh, it's easy to die, that's for sure, but I've gotten a high score of (I think) 10,340 on Score Attack mode on Namco Museum DS, so with practice, maybe you can get that many points, maybe more.
Pretty sure this is a space invaders rip off but I have so much nostalgia playing this game on famicom version as a kid, I also have nostalgia memories playing it on MAME too on my PC
Oh yeah, I got a love the Apple, two versions of the games, their music to my FUCKING ears seriously how did people play this when it came out? I couldn’t even playlist for five minutes with the volume on honestly
He's making a separate video for clones we're he'll include much of the unofficial ports not featured here. As for the emulated versions, well they're 100% to the arcade so no point in featuring them for the most part.
Not the "definitive", because any further upgrade (i.e. on a 16-bit console, for example) would be better, but it's definitely the OG one... You can't beat Arcade, EVER! U.U
@@giuliobarbera6227 To me, anything trying to copy the arcade is just that, copying. The original is the definitive. Everything else is just copying the original.
With some arcade games, their home console ports outdo their original versions for different reasons. I can think of a few games that arguably do so: *Centipede (7800, 1986):* 2-player co-op. *Columns (Genesis/Mega Drive, 1990):* nearly identical sound and graphics to the arcade version but with more gameplay options. *Mario Bros Classic (NES [PAL], 1993):* more jump control and selectable difficulty but with all the cutscenes and features of the original. *Ms Pac-Man (SNES, 1996):* more maze variations, selectable difficulty options, an optional dash feature, and 2-player co-op.
@@jasonm07You moved the goalposts of your argument. Of course home ports of arcade games aren't going to be the same unless they're emulations of said arcade games-that's a given. My point is that there are home ports that go beyond their arcade counterparts while still fundamentally being the same games. If we look at _Mario Bros_ as an example, _Mario Bros Classic_ for the European NES is fundamentally the same game as its arcade counterpart with the same fundamental mechanics but with slight changes that arguably elevate it to being a better version of the game; contrast that with _Mario Bros Special_ and _Punch Ball Mario Bros_ by Hudson Soft which have entirely different mechanics and definitely are different games despite being clearly inspired by _Mario Bros_ the arcade game.
There's two versions of Galaxian on the Sharp X68000, one called Galaxian 2 and a pretty much arcade perfect port simply called Galaxian that released in 1996. Both of these are unofficial however.
