@@GregsGameRoom This kind of retro comparison thing, all kidding aside, is pure gold though and there's not that much of it that one might think. The only other YT vid I have ever seen that's even remotely similar was one comparing just shmups between these 2 consoles.

While I will always choose the Genesis over the TG-16, NEC/Hudson's 16-bit machine is super sweet. Excellent video! Altered Beast- The Genesis is missing the arm scaling effect when you take a zombie out. The parallax scrolling on the Genesis port is not in the arcade version at all (pretty neat!). Forgotten Worlds- The TG-16 version of Forgotten World's is a CD ROM ROM title. Further, it lacks two player support like the Genesis. Finally, Forgotten Worlds on the TG-16 CD has a ton of flicker and slowdown mid game moving forward. The Ninja Warriors- You can also play as the male robot ninja that wears all black. I love that game in the arcades and Sega CD. Street Fighter II- We Sega fans got hosed big time. There is no viable reason for the game to sound as it did. The CPS-1 cab has so much in common with the Genesis hardware it's insane. The sound chip is almost identical. This is why an indy developer was able to fix both Street Fighter games on the Genesis giving it arcade perfect sound (no joke). They also fixed the in-game colors and it now looks as vibrant as the arcade version and with every background detail on bone stock hardware without slowdown or flicker. If you haven't checked it out you really should. On a side note- Mortal Kombat was also given the fan fix and now the Genesis has an almost arcade perfect port of it as well! Did you know Mortal Kombat was supposed to be a TG-16 exclusive? Unfortunately, NEC/Hudson refused to pay royalties on an untested game especially against Street Fighter and whatever SNK was cooking up. Oops....

Great video! As a big fan of the Valis series I must input that she has a slide move to get under things and across gaps. This is how to get past the water tower.

Which is your favorite of the entire series on all systems? Have you played the Sharp X68 original Valis 2? That one's my favorite out of the entire series...the atmosphere is really good in that, but all Valis games have that awesome surreal atmosphere. Valis 4 on PC Engine is my favorite of the console games. BTW...if you like Valis that much like I do, you'd love knowing there's another game out there that plays and looks almost exactly like a Valis game..I might even like it MORE than Valis lol...it's called Devil Hunter Yohko on the Megadrive. It's a faster paced game, and feels like it should've been in the arcades. What did you think of the Valis 4 on SNES? It wasn't even a Telenet game...but it was surprisingly cool as heck too.

Awsome video, i really enjoyed it.

35:40 The PCE version also completely lacks "Turbo" speed fighting modes which were a selling point in "Hyper Fighting" and were in Genesis SCE as well as in Super Street Fighter II.

I think you missed some SNK games, i'm pretty sure both systems had Fatal Fury and World Heroes. Anyhow, i have been a LONG time fan of PC-Engine/Turbografx, and always felt the systems were under appreciated as you can see in the hands of the right developer, the Engine/Grafx could have been just as good if not better than the Genesis.

I think the controller for the PC Engine/TurboGrafix-16 was a decent contributing factor to how it didn't get much success in the west. People looked at its two button controller and instantly compared it to what Sega were offering with the Genesis. While it later had a six button controller it was already too late because then Sega did as well, and Nintendo set the standard most controllers follow today with the SNES.

Regarding Street Fighter 2 on the Genesis, I just have 2 additional points. One is that Sega did release a 6 button controller, and I _think_ it became the default pack-in controller eventually. Also, ROM hacks have been released for SF2, to make the colours and sound much closer to the arcade version. I suspect that Capcom made those compromises to squuze the game on to a smaller memory cartridge. Similar hacks exist for the Mortal Kombat games.

Would love to see a PC Engine vs SNES video.

Great video overall, but there is no universe where both versions of Lords of Thunder are a tie. The Sega CD version is missing key graphical features, like the water draining, or hiding part of the screen while going under the waterfall. It's just a dirty port of a game clearly designed for the PCE. The challenge level is severely dumbed down. At least it takes an interesting second run at the soundtrack.

I would have compared Spriggan with Robo Aleste on the Mega CD as they are both medieval themed.

While I much prefer the Famicom design, I understand why the NES was designed the way it was, but after the NES home consoles were accepted again and really don’t think it was necessary for the Japanese consoles to be redesigned for the American market after the NES. The PC Engine and Super Famicom had much better designs.

Turrican is based on the C64, which was the original (rather than ST or Amiga)

Turbographic 16 has it but need to spend what 400 on the cd on top of the 300 system. Or was it

Enjoyable video; there are some key differences between Lords of Thunder on the two consoles though. One is that while the music is amazing either way and generally the same compositions, the Sega CD is modestly re-arranged in some parts and the guitar solos are different between the two versions. The Sega CD version is more washed out looking with the Turbo CD being more vivid. Sega CD version is noticeably easier on default setting but I don't mind that as if I feel like a more casual play-through I'll go for that one. I do have a slight lean towards the Turbo CD musical variations but as you alluded to the mix is quieter and in addition the sound effect when collecting currency is very loud, drowning it out even more; this was wisely changed for the Sega CD version. Other sound effects though like the some of the enemies and bosses are superior on the Turbo version. You can't go wrong either way and both are worth playing though more than once, or several times. Also I'm wondering why you pitted Mega Turrican vs. the PC Engine original Turrican when the Genesis also had a port of the original game in this series, which would be the apt comparison.

"Best of the Best Championship Karate" is the second game in the series, with 20 additional moves (55 in total) and new training modes, without 'Panza' licence (Loriciels said Panza was asking too much money), released in 1992 for PC (DOS), Amiga, ST, Amstrad CPC, Megadrive, NES, GameBoy, then in 1993 for Megadrive and SNES. André Panza was a French professional "fighter" during the 80's. He won 9 World Champion titles (6 in Kickboxing, 2 in French Boxing, one in Full Contact). He also had 4th dan Judo Black Belt. During his professional career he fought in 114 fights, 109 victories (87 K.O.), 5 defeats. He was nicknamed "Doctor K.O".
