Joe And Mac 💪🏻 Versions Comparison ▶ Game Ports Evolution 

Love these comparison videos. Great video :)

Me encanta tu canal, muy buena producción de vídeo. Las comparativas, buenísimas. ¡Ánimo y saludos desde Barcelona!

From a strait technical point of view, the NES version looks rally really impressive for the hardware. And at some later levels I think the SNES shows some of the best graphics, its just not arcade faithful. However of the faithful ports the Dos one is by far the better if your computer could run the extended modes in 1991

I used to see this in the magazines as an advert for the SNES version and remember loving the colourful graphics. All the versions have a lot of differences between them but one I always go back to the SNES even though these days we have the option to play the Arcade version directly. That said it's worth a play whatever console you have I think they did well to port the game according to the strengths of the platform they ported it to.

Hola amigo muchas gracias, gracias a este video he quedado encantado en saber como se ve cada version aunque no se cual quedarme si con la de arcade, Mega Drive , o SNES cual me recomiendas. a por cierto la de SNES esta en español

Genesis

Las versiones de dos, game boy y sobretodo la de génesis son las mejores…

I wish they released a port on the GBA too

Oh yes, I waited for a video about this video game and it's ports. :) There is a compalition for Steam/GoG where you can play the arcade version of Joe & Mac.

Another case where all the ports have something about them that makes them decent. The Mega Drive, PC/DOS and Amiga versions are fairly close to the original arcade version (with the Mega Drive version's music getting nicely arranged by the prolific Matt Furniss of Krysalis Software), the SNES version has some extra playable sections and a map, the NES version boasts parallax scrolling, and the Game Boy version is one of the first games on the handheld to use DPCM samples to emulate voices (a feature hardly ever used in Game Boy games, having only been heard in a handful of other games like Taz-Mania 2 and Pokémon Yellow).

I like how the PC-DOS, Genesis, & Gameboy versions kept the intro

Opinions: Arcade: It's impressive for the time, and it's sounds could beat the SNES any day (Unless you count Plok) DOS: It has good graphics, and the dino actually wakes up in this port. Unfortunately, it sounds like Joe's club hit the sound drivers. SNES: It's anything but arcade perfect, but on the plus side, arcade players playing this version will get something new out of Joe and Mac. Amiga: The sounds are impressive for 1990's home computer standards, but the most of the graphics make it look like an NES port. NES: The intro takes very long, but the graphics are rather impressive for NES standards, and it uses voice samples. But the level layouts are different, and the 1st boss is smaller than the 1st boss from other ports. GB: At least you can take NES Joe and Mac on the go, and it uses voice samples, and the boss is the same as other ports. Genesis: It's arcade-perfect, aside from the sounds, and the dino not waking up. It also uses voice samples.

Try doing the James Pond 2 ports pls!!

Wow this is nostalgic:c

Arcade and Genesis

La versión de snes es probablemente un "bonus port", por que no se juega igual que el resto de los ports de consola

the game creeps me out for no reason

Had the SNES and PC DOS ports back in the day and imo the PC DOS is the best.

Mario 16

Genesis and MS-DOS versions are pretty much faithful for the arcade version than the SNES and NES versions

To this day my phone alarm is the SNES boss encounter theme. Such a classic.

I'm biased since I had the SNES version growing up. But I figured I would check this out to see the other versions. After watching this, though I'm confident the SNES was the better option. It does lose out on the charge shot from what I can see. However it looks like it was the version that brought in the boomerang and fire shots. The world map option, music renditions as well as sound effects on everything were more varied, unique and better quality. I will say though that the Genesis version's colors seemed to pop a bit more at least on the intro screen.

The gameboy version was a more accurate depiction than the NES.

10:48 that face is the stuff of nightmares

The Gameboy is incredibly impressive and thorough given the limitations. Beautiful parallax on the NES. The Amiga is almost good but killed by the low frame rate.

Fact: European version of caveman ninja snes start with Elite system logo

What I want is a version that has both final bosses (lizard man and devil), with the SNES palette, but the Genesis gameplay.

The DOS port looks decent on the gameplay part, but the sound. O_o Also, you can collect a little Chelnov for points in that version?

este juego en particular TODAS...Saludos

Low colour count on Amiga is clearly visible here, in comparison to DOS and arcade. Also, missing the mountains parallax layer.

PC is the only version where the sleeping TRex wakes up.. Lol. (Eye opens)

You missed the Zeebo port from 2010 by the spanish from Onan Games...

La verdad es que la primera aparición no fue en 1991 fue en 1988 de patinetas ya que mi papá jugaba eso con fichas

A versão do Mega Drive ficou muito boa

A spent very good time on the Amiga version of this game. A very nice surprise compared to lot of other arcade conversions on Western computers. You can even play using a Megadrive controller with a second button to jump. Game offers 50fps scrolling, almost all the content of the original arcade despite some parts missing near the end of the game, sadly because of lack of time in development I suppose. Graphics are a bit rubbish and some more tests in terms of gameplay would have been grateful. But in the end, lot of good time despite these flaws.

Arcade, obvio, y luego la de DOS y megadrive.

My favorite version is Joe and Mac snes

Fun fact: the genesis port has got a darker palette

8:57 How Mario 16 is born

Mi versión favorita de Joe y Mac es el del Super Nintendo

2:57 Regular show

Este juego era muy divertido. Lo único que me molestaba era que tenías que estar tragando todo el rato para que no se te bajara la vida.

La mejor versión de todas es el ultimo remake 2022. 👍🏻

El arcade ¡soberbio! y el port de SNES, muy bueno.

Amiga Joe & Mac needs a Mb or MB of RAM and it only works with A500 plus or A600

As the taking the compete to Toki aka Juju Legend, How DECO/Data East porting Caveman Ninja into home ports (renamed to Joe & Mac globally) with arcade-accurate, however NES & Game Boy version is the least-accurate because nothing comparison and SFC/SNES version is the only extra.

A versão do genesis e fiel ao arcade!

The arcade version, while not well-recieved at first, remains a classic. The Genesis port, along with the DOS version (with it's mediocre Adlib music), remains very close to the arcade game and so far it's one of the only ways to bring the arcade game home. That alongside the SNES version, which is longer and was considered to be the best version of the arcade game so far.

A versão do Mega Drive é o melhor port no videogame caseiro, a do SNES parece até outro game.

The game Boy vershion isso my faivorite

Too bad there’s no Atari ST port for amiga.

And Where is Joe & Mac 2?

SNES version takes it all.

have a zeebo version too xddd

Weird ports, the most faithful version is the DOS Version (which is weird because the most faithful would usually be found on the consoles), the worst is the nes version. But the SNES version blows everything out of the water (it’s not just a port, it’s a different game altogether with new levels, and expended gameplay).

Super nes win.

Remake for 2022 un switch

SNES version even though it has less animations. I prefer it because of the boss music, and unique final boss.

Seems that the SNES version is the most complete as a game. I didn’t know the SNES version was so different, but I’m glad it was because there is great level design in that game, not just a ton of enemies that don’t pose a threat.

The Amiga version is probably the worst looking among the 16 bit ones, yet compared to other arcade conversions to the Amiga it is quite good..

Mega drives lack of colours really shows here

Mega Drive it's more close gameplay.

That opening sequence with the women being kidnapped aged terribly. Truly prehistoric.

SNES Sucks!!!!, Arcade Is The Best!!!
