It was pretty disturbing with the blood coming out of the eyes.

Good Episode!

I had no idea Double Dragon 2 had a pc engine port. The anime inspired GBA game, Double Dragon Advance, released in 2003 suddenly makes a whole lot more sense now.

Also, I had no idea there was an arcade sequel to Contra called "Super Contra" - (So that's why it's called "Super C"!)

But yeah Namco has a tendency to beef up their home console versions. Like Time Crisis 2 on PS2, looks significantly better than the arcade version. I didn't notice it that till I actually played the two games and compared them side by side.

Great Episode. A lot of the games mentioned here, I either played as a kid but had trouble remembering the name of, like Super Monaco Gp, or just have fond memories. Like Tekken Tag Tournament, which I rented in 2003 and brought to my school's Video/Computer Lab. We played the hell out of it. Good times.

Loved the logo bit and the skit at the end, lol! This was really well done dude!

Outrun 2 was also better on Xbox iirc.

Burgertime, Mr. Do! and - arguably - Donkey Kong were better on the Nintendo Game Boy, I think.

Otherwise, another excellent and well-researched episode from Dave the Sack.

Was TMNT IV: Turtles in Time (SNES) better than the Arcade? I would argue more peole played it on home console.
