Commando on the C64, the music is better than the arcade version. =-)

What he said

Also Ghouls n Ghosts on C64 - that has an incredible score.

Not C64 but Gradius on PC Engine hucard has a better version of the music than the arcade without question.

And the worst? Tapper on the Spectrum. You'll think your copy is bugged

I like the Outrun music on the Saturn version, but then this was infact a perfect port anyway. STCC's musice was pretty cool, even if others didnt like the game so much

*laughs* Someone had simply sat down and recorded the audio from the arcade machine onto CD. Not really that tricky

I do agree with you about it being a perfect port. I'm sure it uses some, if not all of the arcade's ROM code (plus extra code, obviously, for the Saturn's stuff) as it even features the same glitches.

Street Fighter II on either SNES or Megadrive - both versions sound different but they sound so damn good in their own way - the MD version's music sounded much closer to the arcade but something about that odd sounding effect on the SNES version's music makes it sound so deliciously good.

Super Hang-On on the Amiga also sounds so bloody good it's unbelievable - I've always been a fan of the Amiga and it's sound capabilities.

Ah, now that was blummin' lovely!

Just a shame that the turbo used one of the 3 channels that were being used for the ingame music (the 4th channel was already being used for the standard engine sound).

I always preferred the ST music on this game

Some great tunes, Winning Run being my fav

Super Hang On was surprisingly good for an ST game of the time. Sound was the one area that was often a letdown on the ST but that one held up well.
