The Game Boy Advance version of id Software‘s Wolfenstein 3D was programmed by Mike Danylchuk for Stalker Entertainment, and published by BAM! Entertainment in 2002. And it is a very good port of the classic first-person shooter.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Game Boy Advance
Developed by Ubisoft Shanghai and published for the Game Boy Advance by Ubisoft in 2003, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a scrolling action game based on the Oscar-winning film of the same name.

C5 Clive, ZX Spectrum
C5 Clive, written by Barry Jones and published by Scorpio Gamesworld Ltd., pays tribute to (ie. satirises) Sir Clive Sinclair‘s infamous “personal automotive vehicle“, which was released onto the UK market as the Sinclair C5 in 1985.
Splatterhouse, FM Towns
The FM Towns version of the controversial Namco arcade game, Splatterhouse, was developed and published by Ving – in Japan only – in 1992. It doesn’t suffer from any of the censorship, that some versions of the game do, and is a completely uncut and almost perfect port of the arcade original.
All Or Nothing, ZX Spectrum
Written by Paul W. Reynolds (the same guy who wrote the classic Krakatoa) and published by Abbex Electronics in 1984, All Or Nothing is an isometric action game where you parachute into an enemy camp on a mission to find and steal their secret plans.
Paperboy 2, ZX Spectrum
Developed by Probe Software and published by Mindscape in 1992, the ZX Spectrum version of Paperboy 2 is not quite as bad as the terrible Amstrad version, which was written by the same two people (David Perry and Nick Bruty). That said: it’s not that much better either…
Paperboy 2, Amstrad CPC
The Amstrad CPC version of Paperboy 2 was written by David Perry and Nick Bruty for Probe Software, and was published by Mindscape in 1992, and it is by far the worst version of Paperboy 2 available.
Paperboy 2, Game Boy
The Game Boy version of Paperboy 2 was developed and published by Mindscape in 1992. It is not a bad port overall, and doesn’t suffer too badly from having a small play screen (unlike the Game Gear version, which does).
Paperboy II, Game Gear
The Game Gear version of Paperboy 2 (aka Paperboy II) was ported by Manley & Associates and published by Tengen in 1993. While it does at least try to emulate the superior Megadrive/Genesis version (and not the inferior Mindscape ports), it falls flat for a number of reasons.
Paperboy II, Megadrive/Genesis
The Megadrive/Genesis version of Paperboy 2 (or Paperboy II, as the title screen shows) is a real surprise, because it seems to be an attempt by developer Tengen to actually create a real sequel to the Paperboy arcade game. This game doesn’t strictly follow the rather lacklustre template of the Mindscape version of Paperboy 2, but instead does its own thing, which IMHO makes it special.
