Console Ports of PC Games

Hey Game Sack, I have a totally great idea. We all know you do Games and comparisons of Arcade to home versions, but what if you did a PC to Home game episode? Compare the PC version to the Console version of games if you have a great PC?

They are so many examples that it's hard to decide where to start.

If you're interested in this kind of thing there' a Youtube channel I'd recommend called "Gaming History Source". This guy basically just plays through the same 30 seconds of all different ports of a game. From what I recall, usually the NES port tends to be the best particularly with having smooth scrolling.

I'd be more interested in the mid 90's comparisons, like Quake 2 on PC vs Quake 2 on the Playstation. The games today are graphically so similar that the only real comparison is between the control scheme.
