Track & Field, Game Boy
Konami‘s 1992 conversion of the smash arcade hit Track & Field features more events than the original. In fact, it’s something of a mashup of Track & Field and its famous follow-up Hyper Sports.
Ghouls ‘N Ghosts, Atari ST
The Atari ST conversion of Ghouls ‘N Ghosts is pretty ugly.
Ghouls ‘N Ghosts, ZX Spectrum
Software Creations made this Ghouls ‘N Ghosts conversion for US Gold in 1989. It has to be said that it resembles the original only superficially.
Ghouls ‘N Ghosts, Commodore 64
The Commodore 64 conversion of Ghouls ‘N Ghosts is surprisingly good, even though everything in it looks a bit tiny.
Ghouls ‘N Ghosts, PC Engine
Only ever released in Japan, this PC Engine conversion of Capcom‘s classic Ghouls ‘N Ghosts was developed by NEC Avenue and is one of the very best conversions out there.
Ghouls ‘N Ghosts, Megadrive/Genesis
The Megadrive/Genesis conversion of Ghouls ‘N Ghosts is one of the very best conversions out there. In my opinion, second only to Super Ghouls ‘N Ghosts on the SNES (and of course the original arcade game).
Sparkster, Super Nintendo
Konami‘s Sparkster is a side-scrolling platform action game released for the Super Nintendo in 1994.
Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Nintendo 64
Conker’s Bad Fur Day was a surprising 2001 release – on the Nintendo 64 – for British developer Rare, in collaboration with Nintendo.
What is surprising about it is that it is an “adult” game – meaning: it contains cartoon characters behaving in ways that you don’t normally see in a Nintendo game, like vomiting on people’s shoes, making sexual innuendo, and using mild swear words.
Karnov, ZX Spectrum
The ZX Spectrum conversion of the Data East arcade game, Karnov, is a good example of a decent arcade conversion on the Spectrum.
