The MSX got a pretty much perfect conversion of Head Over Heels, although I’m not sure who the person was who converted it.

Head Over Heels, Amstrad CPC
The best-looking of all the 8-bit versions of Head Over Heels, in my humble opinion.
Head Over Heels, Commodore 64
Although the Commodore 64 was not thought to be particularly well-suited to these types of isometric platform games, Head Over Heels bucks the trend by being arguably just as good – if not better – than the Spectrum original.
Thanks to the sterling efforts of programmer Colin Porch.
Ranarama, Atari ST
Ranarama, by Steve Turner of Graftgold, originated on the ZX Spectrum in 1987, and was later converted to the Atari ST, Amiga and Amstrad CPC.
Snake Rattle ‘n’ Roll, Megadrive/Genesis
Rare‘s classic isometric action game, Snake Rattle ‘n’ Roll, was first released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1990. This Sega Megadrive/Genesis port came later, in 1993.
The House of the Dead III, XBox
Over-the-top, first-person, survival horror blasting action, for one or two players!
House of the Dead III first came out in arcades in 2002, followed by XBox and other home versions, in 2003.
Flicky, Megadrive/Genesis
Ports of Sega‘s own classic arcade games were often fab on the Megadrive/Genesis, and Flicky is one of the best.
Time Bandit, Atari ST
Time Bandit was first released in 1983 for the TRS-80, but is far better known for its 16-bit versions on the Atari ST and Amiga. These were released later, in 1985, and featured vastly improved graphics.
Boulder Dash, Arcade
This 1990 arcade version of First Star‘s classic Boulder Dash dispenses with Rockford as we know (knew) him, and replaces him with a miner’s hat-wearing boy, although this doesn’t affect the game negatively.
Pepper II, ColecoVision
Pepper II is one of the best games of the ColecoVision console, and a conversion of a 1982 arcade game, first released in 1983 by Exidy.
