      Ports back in the day were so much more interesting as we got wildly different versions of games a lot of the time.
      Compared to now, where games are basically exactly the same with just some minor technical differences.

      I know it’s unrealistic, but I wish it was more like the old days.

        @[email protected] I still have less good memories of being super stoked about some cool game coming to something I own and then the immense disappointment when the port was really lame compared to the original running on better hardware. Or the “port” sharing nothing but the name, like some of late PS2 games “ported” from PS3.

        I wonder what’s the story behind SNES’ Pinball Fantasies? The hardware obviously wasn’t the issue. Lack of access to the source material?
