Some games just shouldn’t have been possible to port from their home system to another one. Elite on NES? Yep. Street Fighter Alpha 2 on SNES? Also yep. And plenty more. Here’s nine more of the so very many seemingly impossible ports that I could think of.

    What made street fighter 2 so impressive for the PC Engine, is that how much of a cut back street fighter 1 (fighting street) was the PC engine CD! Also as a kid I had the PC Engine GT, it was just so cool to have a comparable game to the snes street fighter (or me at 15, a clearly superior version) on a hand held!

    Literally the only legit point here is MK -- way better on Genesis than SNES. The other games are either better on SNES, or in most cases, shitty on both systems, so who TF cares? And MK II even reversed this, being much better on SNES (and much better than either MK port). Face it dude, the 16-bit console wars have been over for nearly 30 years, and Sega was a distant second, at best (I actually prefer Turbografx/PC Engine).

    I think the beauty of Chryssalids, Mind control and Blastes is that they are poorly balanced. Blaster can literally oneshot anything, Chryssalid can oneshot any soldier, MC can control any creature (aside from civilians). The point is - there are things in this game against which there can be no defense. It's brutal and punishing. I'm not sure if that was intentional or not. but it is beautiful.
