X-COM for PS1. It was made back when multiplatform games were developed by different developers, and sometimes used different engines etc. thus meaning the games would be completely different depending which platform you play on. X-COM for PS1 was a perfect port though, and for that reason it's kinda awkward to play because you're playing a game that needs pinpoint accuracy on a console.

Nowadays most games are developed with consoles on their mind.

Bioshock actually had 3 mobile ports (A top-down 2D/first-person 3D port for keypad phones and the ios port)
>>
The single-player mode was a lot more fleshed out somewhat; over the course of it your character changed skins and got progressively better stats like health and armor soft/hard caps, as well as movement speed and attack strength. Those characters could be used in splitscreen and there was an actual final boss too.

It also had these unique tier advancement stages where you eliminate a bot or two's stock of lives in one arena, which then you go through a transition like the Vortex Portal ones that seamlessly sends you into another arena without a loading screen to do the same thing until you finish the event.

Strangely had some Team Arena content but no runes on the CTF ones. The MG also sounded a lot more stronger than it did on PC.

My first exposure to Half-Life was the PS2 port which I bought for $5 from a garage sale.
It's actually pretty decently made and has much better graphics than the PC version. It also included the co-op campaign decay. To compensate for the lack of accuracy with the PS2's analogue sticks it did add an auto aim feature, but it was optional.

You'd be forgiven from thinking Doom 64 was just another port, but it was actually an entirely new game developed by Midway. Its engine was a little more advanced than the original Doom's and it had a much darker atmosphere.

PS2 port also had like Deathmatch arenas for 1v1 on a PS2. I remember me and my friend throwing down Snarks and running away from each other for shits and giggles.

Also this N64 version of Command and Conquer always seemed super odd to me. Just having the really basic, chunky 3D that the N64 supported being used to display a C&C game looks really awkward.

Doom was ported to fucking everything, man. Honestly, the GBA is a pretty good fit for it - it doesn't have a ton of controls and Doom was designed for underpowered hardware.

On second thoughts, I should have said it was designed for hardware without floating point shit or 3D acceleration.

Ecks vs Sever was a lot more impressive. A ton of tricks were used to give it a 3D effect on hardware with no 3D processing at all.

The Duke Nukem on GBA is surprisingly playable. Not good but it functions well enough.

The Serious Sam on GBA is a fucking nightmare.

Shut the fuck up, every fucking one. You don't know the true pain and horrible suffers of little kid, who spend almost 7$ (in roubles) to buy picrelated.
MoH series always was my most favorite on PSX, so how could I stand against such a perfect thing as MoH:U on GBA?
Creators of this piece of satanic curse are completely sick.
Other FPS on GBA was actually nice and fun, like DOOM, or 007. But this game is especially horrible from any fucking side.
MoH:Infiltraitor 10/10 anyway.

Though it's not the best (considering it's mainly still just bot matches), it's certainly better than what the PC got and the overall presentation and menu design was better. The load times were shit, though.

Interestingly, Bullfrog worked on the port.

I'll never get this. The video doesn't showcase the tier promotions, which for some characters they more cybernetics replacing his limbs and animated goggles/visors. Klesk just changes color for the most part.

Wonder why nobody tried to port any of this over onto PC.

Played it with my buddy when we were growing up

it's pretty awesome, actually, it has some quirks like most unique items only drop during single player campaigns and the coop campaign had limited variation in the quests you were offered, but it definitely played like Diablo.

Coop also required two memory cards because they could only fit a game and one character on one card, the second player would need to save on another card, there are a few PS1 games like that

MG was on the MSX and NES

Literally all the N-Gage needed was a 4:3 screen and no physical buttons for the numbers (put them on the screen and make you use the the d-pad to enter shit instead).
