Dead Rising on the Wii. Christ.

>assassin's creed
>mobile device
Jet Set Radio on gba.
That one Resident evil for the Game Boy.What an abomination.
BG for PSX
RTS on consoles
>>336226671
Wasn't there also a BG2 version for PS2 that was basically a fast-paced action RPG?
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.
>>336226893
No, that's a Diablo clone with BG name.
Not story-related.
>>336224590
I actually played this port. It's not awful, but it is cut down.
>No health regions
>Worse graphics
>Tiny levels with huge load times
>Dualshock controls (although M+KB is supported)
Still, the opening theme was redone and pretty amazing.
>>336226903
I kind of miss those ports.
It was funny to see a game thats complete buggy trash on one system and then an entirely different genre and godlike on another.
>>336224590

Game.com version of Duke Nukem 3D
>>336227494
>Game.com
The fuck is that?
>>336227558
It's like a game boy but with a touch screen.
COD on the ds.

Daikatana for GBC.
>>336224590
I played this before the pc version
it had some interesting changes like swimming being more viable in some areas and some other stuff
but it was a bit shit and crashed a lot
>>336227720
>>336227613
>ports
>>336227761
Even has mouse and keyboard support
Starcraft on N64
Half-Life on Dreamcast (never sold but was pretty much finished)
Bioshock on iPhone
>>336227761
I actually own this on the 360
>>336227761
I might pirate this just to see how it differs.
Age of Empires 2 for the PS2
That was one weird as hell port. I haven't played it in a very long time, but I seem to remember some techs were just randomly cut. I don't think units could be upgraded to their final tier, ie, no Champions, Arbalests or Paladins etc.
>>336227613
>on the DS
try on the GBA, along with the Serious Sam, Medal of Honor, and Doom games
>>336227761
>Be European
>Wait for CSGO to be released on PSN here
>Still waiting
>>336227817
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.
>>336227613

I'm kinda surprised this could be done on a 2007 mobile phone.
>>336228116
Good ol java games
>>336224590
It was surprisingly decent. My only major problems with it are the tiny levels with constant, extra long loading times and general instability.
>>336225473
It actually looks kinda neat.
>>336227720
>Daikatana
Possibly the worst game ever made, exposed the hack Romero
>>336227786
Valve originally intended for the console versions to be cross-play compatible with the PC version, but that idea was abandoned because MS and Sony complicate the process of updating the game.
>>336228296
Shit, my favourite java game
>>336226206
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7KPMg5daWk
Looks like it was done in a similar way to the GBA Pro Skater games.
Spore had some really weird 2D mobile ports
>>336224590
It's called "special" for a reason
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0HQOKmAPRA
>>336228203
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=idF29RlSMUk
Look how far we've come
>>336227275
One thing I liked about the PS2 version was paused menu for augs.
On PC, pressing several keys from F1 to F12 is not very practical in battle.
>>336226976
that is less of a port and more of a remake
>>336228337
>>336228386
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hYNjTTwThU
>>336228151
And both were close to unplayable.
This is my favourite windows mobile 6 game.
>>336228431
Either way it's fucking weird
>>336228457
>3
Probably better than the PC version too
>>336226873
wanted to post this, hilarious
I will never understand how the fuck you were supposed to play this. I mean everyone got pissed because you had to press select on the genesis to switch to kicks due to only having 3 buttons, but this thing only has fucking 2
>>336227494
I own one of these and most of its games. Worst game purchase mistake of my life
>>336228516
Nah both versions are good game
>>336226903
Terror from the deep came out on PS1 as well, if you can believe that.
>>336224938
this was a surprisingly really good isometric shooter.
yeah...
>>336228529
What the fuck
>>336228553
Apparently Carmack was tired of all mobile games being shit. So we got DOOM RPG.is it any good?
Half of these aren't ports
>>336228439
Goddamn, AC is my guilty pleasure and I'm at least aware of all the games, even the shitty handheld ones I don't plan on playing, but I never knew this was a thing. Kind of impressive, though the framerate looks pretty bad.
>>336228791

>>336228863
It's great.

GBC version of RE1
>>336228887
>AC is my guilty pleasure
1 and 2 were objectively good gamesaccording to my memory because the last time I played either was in high school
>>336228982
1 is pretty mediocre but I found 2 to be pretty good if not flawed.
>>336228553
I remember playing this motherfucker on my tiny ass sony flip phone
jesus christ
>>336228863
For a phone game probably made in the span of 2 weeks it's actually pretty good.
Weird in the "how could you fuck up this badly?" sense.
>>336226903
there was a PS1 mouse peripheral you could get and it worked with this game i think
>>336228368
I thought this was a joke.
>>336229290
To be fair, the game's physics are incredibly slippery and awful.
>>336228982
>>336229080
You two should play Brotherhood if you haven't. Brotherhood is debatably even better than 2. Like an expansion pack of all the good of 2, basically. A lot of people's favorite AC game, if it's not already 2.
>grew up being a PC fag only
>friend invites me over to the new C&C Red Alert
>fires up his PS1
>that shitty tin can sound
>that abysmal resolution
>those awfully compressed cut scenes
>>336228938
oh shit they tried to actually port it
>>336229357
I think the only thing Brotherhood does better than 2 is the combat and the guild, everything else feels worse. And it was also the AC that started doing the horrible side objectives.
>>336229290
Well now you know
>>336228553
I remember downloading that game sporadically when the last hurricane hit Florida hard. It was shockingly fun and had a surprisingly solid combat system that was like semi turn based. I really wouldn't even know how to describe it.
>>336228626
Master system version too
>>336229220

>>336224590
This isn't a port, but I feel the original Apple II version of John Madden needs to be shared
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xu0QLLbrVVc
>>336228791
Red faction on n-gage was weird
>>336230807
forgot pic
Not quite a port, but it is odd this made it on the DS.
Worked pretty darned well, you could use the d-pad for movement and the stylus for aiming.
It also introduced the helper drone if I remember correctly.
>>336230350
try again
>>336230015
Sonic without Blast Processing looks like shit.
Do localizations count? I'm German and as a kid I thought Command & Conquer was about a cyborg war
>>336228938
This must be nightmarish to beat. Everything looks insanely awkward.
Is Resident Evil Gaiden any good? That one at least looks interesting.
>>336230869
Why was the screen so narrow on the N-Gage if it was made for gaming? That thing was awkward as fuck.
>>336226873
>>336231189
Shame we'll never get classic Blizzard games on DS
There are a bunch of weird ports featured on PortsCenter
https://www.youtube.com/user/PortsCenterTV/videos
Just reminded me this exists:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX7kdA2CcxE
Yep, the famous laser-disk game Dragon's Lair converted to the GAMEBOY COLOR!
Rhapsody was also ported to the DS.
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.
>>336227491
Remember when es4 was gonna be on psp?
>>336231189
I heard this game wasn't bad. If you had a psp, it was basically Diablo in your pocket.
>>336231761
You just reminded me, the Dreamcast was to get Half-Life and Blue Shift was suppose to be an exclusive episode.
Just weeks before the game would go gold Sega announced it wasn't supporting the Dreamcast anymore, so Sierra didn't even bother releasing it.
Also the Dreamcast was going to get a port of System Shock 2 as well.
>>336232220
>if
Did anyone /not/ have a PSP?
>>336228453
Half-Life 2 Xbox is fine. Half-Life Dreamcast is pretty playable besides crashing and shit because it's unfinished.
>>336232324
Half Life 2 Xbox has an unplayably low framerate. Dreamcast also has a poor framerate, and awful controls because of the single stick.
>>336226903
An in-mission save used all 15 blocks of the memory card. All of them, the entire thing, for a single save. So if you saved during a Brazilian night Terror Mission starring the Chryssalids, well, shit, good luck, save scumming that shit is going to corrupt the card.
The N64 port of Quake 2 was weird since they changed its colour palette from orange and brown to grey and blue
I really wished they had released Rogue Leaders for Wii. The port was finished and everything, they just couldn't get the rights issues sorted.
>>336232258
Oh yeah, the Dreamcast had a port of Quake 3, and you could even play against PC players...
Man, I still wonder how things would have been like if we got more ports like these and not stuff designed around the OG Xbox's limitations(i.e. Deus Ex: Invisible War and Thief: Deadly Shadows ).
>>336227613
>COD on wii
>gun actually points where you point and not just the center of the screen
>>336228367
I've played a spore game on the DS, I think it's called spore creations. It was extremely weird and didn't remember me much of the actual spore game.
>>336232614
I remember reading they sold surprisingly well too. Must have cost a ton for Activision to port them to weaker hardware.
>>336232584
Me too.
>>336232614
Wii controls get a lot of bad rep but they were god-tier for shooters.
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. The soundtrack in particular was incredibly dark and disturbing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leUcIpcMZRs
>>336231761
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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFIuj1g1kk8
How about Arkanoid for the DS with a special spinner controller that uses the GBA port?
Also worked with Space Invaders Extreme 1 and 2.
>>336232940
They didn't release the spinner controller in Europe. Fucking shit sucks.
>>336232940
DS had a lot of weird and underused add-ons.
Like the rockband controller or the rumble pack. I wish the rumble pack was used in more games.
>>336233106
Holy shit, I've never seen Rock Band DS before. WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?
>>336233216
Oh, wait, it's fake. Phew.
>>336233216
>Those tiny finger drums
Haha holy shit
>>336233278
It was guitar hero I was thinking of. That one was real.
>>336233216
I knew about the black thing attached to the system but goddamn
>>336233216
>those drums
>>336227613
I completed all of them on emulator and even played multiplayer on hacked DS. It was surprisingly great.
>>336228324
Meme opinion, to be honest. First level was shit, but others were pretty good.
>>336227494
>>336227558
>>336228650
Oh god, mother of all fucking let downs right here.
The whole reason I wanted one was to play douk on the go, instead I ended up with a missing stylus, Batman & Robin which was ok, and two copies of Lights Out!
But it had Internet! Oh wait you need to use a dial up connection, never mind.
>>336226671
Holy shit, it's real.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngXSpx-UaH4
>>336228981
i honestly think the PC version was the port
>Doom
>Doom 2
And there was a Duke FUCKING Nukem game on the GBA as well.
Crazy some company would bother with FPSes on a handheld really not designed for them.
>>336233216
>>336233327
I always wanted to get this. Does anyone know if it was any good?
>>336232258
Most of the improvements eventually made their way to the PS2 port which was actually pretty decent. It even came with the 3rd expansion to half-life, Decay.There was also a level where you could play as a vortigaunt if you got a high rank on every decay level
>>336233854
Doom was on the SNES too.
I'm fairly certain there isn't a system Doom hasn't been ported to.
>>336231225
>Why was the screen so narrow on the N-Gage if it was made for gaming?
They didnt bother making a new screen, they used the screens from other mid-range Nokia smartphones like the 3650.
>>336233921
Gamecube? Maybe Wii homebrew has a source port or two but still
>>336233854
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.
>>336233513
John Romero's bitch detected
>>336228431
Because it is a remake ???
>>336234114
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.
>>336227969
The Duke Nukem on GBA is surprisingly playable. Not good but it functions well enough.
The Serious Sam on GBA is a fucking nightmare.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gr4ipDtQrM
>>336228059
That actually sounds awesome.
>>336224590
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.
Duke Nukem Mobile
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzltPNmHtaI
Ok, not quite a port, but also look at the device it was running on, the Tapwave Zodiac running Palm OS.
>>336227946
I remember paladins, arbalests and champions in that versionI played it for years before I finally had a pc to myself
Also on PC
>>336227946
you might just be remembering the campaign limiting your unit choices
>>336234230
>That actually sounds awesome.
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.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCL2_v98kX0
>Doomguy the slowest
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.
>>336232276
People with taste.
>>336230015
The game was rushed to hell and the engine had to be built from scratch for this game.
Remember the other sonic game that had its development rushed in order to meet an anniversary deadline?
Ahhh, DOS PC ports of classic Arcade/NES/etc games...

>>336234635
the control configuration is very weird on pc, that and the game itself feel like running on an emulator
>>336232614
That's most shooters on Wii. Prime 3 controls like a dream.
>>336228325
They scrapped the idea because they wanted to constantly update the PC version and said that console version wouldn't be able to keep up with the frequency of updates.
>>336232614
But holding a gun sideways was awesome
>>336227491
There was a really Werid time just before were big smart phones when triple a game still none the less got ported onto mobile.
>>336234635
Whoa hold up what the fuck
>>336234956
PC is the Xbox version. I remember my cousin having the big box copy and reading the booklet and it had Xbox controls.
>>336224938
I couldn't believe this had the cutscenes and full voice acting
It was an amazing port
>>336232220
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
>>336234635
MG was on the MSX and NES
MGS1 was on the PC
MGS2 was on the PC and Xbox
It's kind of funny how MGS was always considered a Sony franchise. Even more funny that the Xbox and PC versions of the games were the best versions too.
>>336227720
>>336228324
the funniest thing is that the gbc version was a great game (completely different from the pc game, of course)
>mfw they re-released it for next gen and still won't support it
>>336234230I played duke nukem 3d, Doom and Doom 2 on gba for the first timeI found them amazing, despite not having dynamic lighting
>>336233874
It was alright. Songs were decent but it wouldn't save my progress so I beat it twice when I was really bored and then dropped it. Not to mention that after about 30 minutes it got uncomfortable but that might be my hands being huge.
>>336236173
You know what they say about people with huge hands, don't you Anon?They find the original Xbox controller super comfy
>>336235109
I took a long time to accept it but found playing with splatoon the Motion control actually offers a lot more responsive find and fine control compared to releying solely on the thumb stick.
It's a shame most games aren't willing to implement it.

It's because the Wiimote is pretty much a super-sensitive mouse with all the trade-offs involved in that.

>>336232614I think I played around 200h CoD4 mp on wii

>>336226873
There it is

on the PC version you could just go to your inventory, pop to augs and activate them in the equip/upgrade menu
>>336236291
Hey
I bought it for 2 sceens local multiplayer
If only wiiu wasn't an underpowered failure I would've loved to see that feature more often
>>336236628
The servers are still up.
>>336236892
Is it the only Wii game left with working multiplayer?
>>336236628
I've never played a shooter on the wii, is it really easay to aim with the motion controls? The controller basically acts like a light gun, right?
>>336236892
for real? I though all the wii online stuff was shut down
>>336224938
I love me some Max Payne,but i've never seen this in my life.
>>336236970
All CODs except for WAW
There's probably more
>>336228368
Funfact this is the first Mario game where Mario can fly
>>336236972
Its way better than a controller that's for sure, but at the beginning its kinda awkard. The idea is that you drag the screen to turn and point to shoot
>>336236892
Seriously? How about MW3 for the Wii?
( which I heard was pretty bad even if a wood it is but I still got the box in it's Christmas wrapping )
It's not a port, but it's a fucking abomination.
I don't even know why I own a sealed copy.
>>336233854
Duke advance is way better then doom gba ports, and its uncensored
>>336224938
Amazing game.
>>336237346
I had a friend who had the Ghost Recon ngage game and it ran way worse then that if you can believe it.
>>336237498
Fuckin' christ. That's a sad thought.
>>336237295
Yes, probably won't find that many people thought. BLOPS1 averages about 300 a day.
>>336237135
Huh, sounds like mouse is still the best input device then
>>336237346
WAT FUK
>>336237346
I've always thought that you could kind of see what Nokia was getting at with the N-Gage but they just couldn't quite put the whole package together.
I think what they ultimately needed to do was make it a worse phone and a better console.
>>336231225
Gaiden is SHIT
IT'S REALLY SHIT
>>336237607
well duh, but it's way more playable than with a dual stick
Ubisoft pretty much everything to anything if they can make a dollar for it.
Which actually was good when I only had a Wii U after my computer broke and. But Still.
>>336237750
>worse phone
Shit, forgot about side-talking.
They needed to focus on making a better console and a worse-but-non-retarded phone.
>>336234561
>>336234652
Maybe I'm misremembering. I haven't played it in a very very long time.
>>336237750
Personally, I think the concept was a bit too ahead of its time. Phones are only becoming a viable gaming platform nowadays. It's like the dreamcast. A little bit to reaching.
>>336228324
Fuck you nigger
Romero is a god
>>336236134
They just announced the Xbox and PS4 versions are getting the first batch of DLC. I feel bad for anyone that bought it
>>336237861
And modern phones are *still* shit at games, largely thanks to terrible controls.
Resident Evil 2 on the Tiger Game.com
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiTkmvwGMN4
>>336238004
That too. At least N-gage had buttons. Though that's not a statement defending it. It was a travesty.
>>336237913
The PS4/Xbones came with a ton of the DLC built-in. But I bet what they're really doing is microtransactioning it up the ass because that's how modern gaming works.
>>336238083
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).
And no side-talking. And an easy way to add/remove cartridges.
>>336231592
This port was so disappointing they cut out a huge chunk of the voice acting.

MGS 1 and 2 on PC is garbage

I remember MGS1 being fine. I owned the PlayStation version too and preferred the (pirated) PC ver.
>>336230974
yup, played it as well
the only "issue" was that it had several less enemies on-screen at the same time than the other versions.
The Wii version was great as well, probably the best incarnation of the franchise
Every so often I discover that some console title got an obscure PC port as well and I didn't realise it at the time
>>336237346
at the time i thought that n gage was pure magic
Then I played it recently, and the framerate of every game is atrocious.
Also that fucking screen ratio
Loved it nonetheless, not that I had to talk at the phone with anyone, anyway
There was a version of Pang for the DS
>>33623463imagine fighting againts pyscho mantis in mgs1 on pc, haha how would you change controller ports?
>>336226873
anybody remember the commercial for it?
>>336226873
I actually played it on an emulator with a controller
I thought it was fun
>>336226873
This port was actually pretty damn impressive. Included brood war too if you had the expansion pack. And 2 player split screen. interesting stuff.
![Dig%20Dug%20-%20Digging%20Strike[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Za5noG5.jpg "Dig%20Dug%20-%20Digging%20Strike[1]")
>>336239162
there also was an ugly sequel of dig dug
it contained the shocking revelation that the Dig Dug guy is the father of Mr Driller
>>336227491
I had that game
I actually had quite a lot of weird early mobile games
My mother got 3 of them for free every month but she never use it for herself
>>336237823
is it.. is it canon?
>>336239162
This isn't a port though, it was made exclusively for DS in mind. It's also really fucking good.
>be kid
>love pacman at my uncle's bar
>he gets me this for christmas
wtf
>>336239048
>not that I had to talk at the phone with anyone, anyway
Well that took a depressing twist
It's insane how many ports of Rayman 2 there are.
>>336224590
TF2 compared to modern TF2 is spooky. 8v8, one voice command and totally vanilla. In particular the only meaningful update it got was fixing the medic syringe exploit and class limits I think, it doesn't even have badlands or gold rush.
>>336239384
Both DS games and the PSP games are as they fill in blanks and do not overwrite anything.
>>336239483
I love it. No hats, no bloat, no bullshit.
>>336239412
what the fuck
>>336239481
Good game though
>>336239412
Reminds me of manic miner
>>336239483
I played TF2 on the Xbox for ages when I didn't have a PC capable of running the game a bunch of years ago, shit was fucking great.
No hats or bloated nonsense, it was fantastic.
Never played this myself, but I've heard it's actually a pretty good port of Resident Evil 1.
>>336235876
The PC version of MGS2 was absolutely godawful. One of the worst PC ports I've ever tried.
>>336235782
The PC version of diablo also had a limited quest palette. Like you always got butcher and king leoric.
>>336233854
Before the PSP, the GameBoy was the only handheld on the market, of course companies wanted a slice of those delicious handheld profits.
Now those same companies prefer to create dumbed down shit for mobile phones.
>>336239441I came to the conclusion that I'll use this as advantage to make money and progress in my career. We all know family and affects only slow down your climb to success.It's just an excuse, of course. It's just that I'm ugly and have non realistic standards for my appearance.
>>336239760
FUCK!
PS2 version was pretty dope though
>>336239412
holy shit that's awesome
it looks like pikaman
>>336232614
The Wii really was made for shooters. If the hardware was up to snuff it would have been a great shooter console.
>>336237007
the servers for the Cod games are ran by a separate server
>>336226873
i played this before the PC version. used to love co-op
tried playing it recently with my brother, some of the survival co-op levels go down to ~5FPS constantly. not sure how we managed it.
CnC64 also had an N64 port, which was mostly interesting because they replaced the unit/building sprites with actual 3D models.
>>336239926
>pikaman
boy that takes me back
>>336239660
i have it. its pretty good, but it has a substantial amounts of bugs.
>>336239848
Fuck...
>>336233106
I have guitar hero on ds lying around with the peripheral for it. Worked pretty well actually.
valve has a long history of bizarre console ports
>>336240474
I just pirated CS:GO for PS3, I couldn't even get it working.
Diablo 1
On psx

Cannon fodder on the Game Boy Color.
It had FMVs for fucks sake.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFwbfN18x0
>>336239847
There were plenty of other handhelds but the game gear was the only one that even was on the radar for gameboy competition
>>336240582

>>336229473
my dad used to play a Red Alert expansion on PS1 (called Tesla Missions, I don't know the proper english equivalent) a lot during the night, always on the hardest difficulty, even if the console version is atrocious with the mouse speed and the shitty UI
i bought him Kane's Wrath and got him a Steam account four years ago, he is sinking hours into it now
>>336239412
what's the name of this version?
>>336240582
Best version was SNES imo
>>336239483
played TF2 on the PS3 all the time, shit was fun as fuck
>>336239483
I remember using the free multiplayer weekend on Live to play it. And yes, compared to modern tf2, I miss it a lot.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.taleworlds.mbwarband
I was surprised this exists. Its not that bad either.
>>336233742
holy shit that shitty music and those loading times, that's looks almost unplayable
>>336240738
This
>>336240697ghoul for the C=64
>>336240658
I wrote that in the wrong way. I mean the GB was the only handheld on the market that mattered.
>>336240664
it was called Red Alert Retaliation in english. i remember renting it myself
>>336239660
It's pretty good. Barring the knife fighting segments, especially the one with Maw.
>>336235307
Unfortunately its not worth playing or so I've heard your better off emulating if you want mgs on pcHD collection on pc when?
How about some RE4 on mobile
>>336240903
yeah and it was really shitty. it would slow to a crawl if you played for more than 30 minutes
>>336240987
There's no way this was a thing.
>>336240903
loved the ant levels as well
but was it the GDI we were playing as? Yellow faction with mammoth tanks and bunker defenses strongly remind me of it
>>336240896
what the fuck, it's a bootleg then!
Funny how this could be considered legal at the time
>>336240981
Konami ain't fucking with video no more
does this count as a port
>>336241048
It absolutely is a thing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBVR0fdruZ8
>>336241370
HOLY SHIT!
WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?!
So, Capcom, Ubisoft and ID software are the kings of ports, right?
>>336241362
no wait what? Is it a lets play or VHS or what??
>>336241430
Here's some better footage. It doesn't look quite so terrible here
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hX0kiXr-ebI
>>336241048
it was, I had it
And it wasn't THAT bad
I'd even say it was impressive at the time
>>336241362
I love to watch video at 240x160.
>>336241483
It's just a cartridge with a video on it.
>>336238272
>You have to remove the battery to change games
Who thought that was a good idea
>>336241483
No, they were cartridges that had anime episodes on them instead of games. It was this weird experimental thing that promptly died out because it was stupid as hell.
>>336241518
>>336241048
>>336241370
wait, I was thinking of this version
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jt0UREpE4s
>>336241508
>>336241518
Definitely looks better here, but god damn. Why? Why is this a thing? How on earth do you convey the RE4 experience on a phone?
>>336241613
Amazing how Sony thought it still was a good idea after one gen.
>>336241798
>phone booth
that movie was fucking great
>>336241782
Mobile games were really popular over in Japan and I guess some companies tried to get them to catch on in the west. There were even 1 or 2 Silent Hill mobile games, though they weren't ports of existing games.
>>336240764
ok this one finally got me got through the whole thread new about most of these weird ports but this takes the cake.
>>336241782
You could play the phone version on the almighty Zeebo to maximise the experience.
>>336241798
it was a whole feature of the PSP that it was marketed with, right?
Well, it's not that bad of an idea desu, people these days do watch movies on their smartphones or tablets afterall.
>>336241798
I have a Family Guy.
>>336234862
>the engine had to be built from scratch for this game.
I heard it actually runs on Sonic Advance's engine.
>>336242048
You'd be surprised how many weird ports there are on the app store. Some of them probably aren't completely legal either
>>336241798
>>336241483
oh man the 00's was a weird time for tech
its like nobody in 2005 released everyone had broadband in one form or another and made weirdass fucking formats.
the minidisc and UMD takes the cake, i remember i sent sony au an idea for a PSP that runs DVD's
14 year old me was a fuckinggenius
>>336241798
didn't japan make a fuckton of porn for this format
>>336242196
It was a good idea on paper but it failed hard. It doesn't help UMDs are retarded by nature.
>>336234230
Serious Sam Advance is pretty good actually. You need to take it in context with the rest of the GBA FPS library (I've played nearly all of them it's fucking torturous)
>>336242010
There were 3 Mobile SH games IIRC.
I think it was all one long story, told over 3 separate games. They were more point and click adventures? Man it's been a while.
If you google for S40 Silent Hill, you should be able to find the JARs.
>>336241710
Touch controls? Nope.
>>336242065
What a horrible looking device
>>336242271
Like? Ive seen some weird ports but cant think of any right now.
Most 3d games play like shit on a touchscreen so i dont bother.
would be pretty cool to find a use for my old ps3 controllers.
is a HTC M8 on android 6 too old to play games?
>>336239660
The definitive version of classic RE1 because:you can touch Jill's ass and tits with the stylus
>>336241362
I actually have one of these with an episode of fairly odd parents at the time it was interesting and actually watchable. Remember this was before smart phones. I remember them having jimmy neutron and because of the show using 3d animation it looked horrible.
>>336242010
don't forget metal gear and time crisis for ios
>>336227761
fuck, I totally forgot about the good PS store layout, I fucking miss it
the new shit they have now is fucking garbage
>>336227275
>the opening theme was redone and pretty amazing
I personally hate the orchestral theme. It takes away the electronic spirit of the original.
>>336240958
Im actually impressed

HOLY shit i havent seen this in like 15 years.
looks so much better as a dos type game desu getting some liero vibes
>>336242927
>BR's
What?
>>336233854
The mobile Doom RPG was amazingly fun
>>336242835
looks surprisingly playable
>>336237682
Those are ports unless you think Max Payne started life as a GBA game?
>>336242902
i remember pissing around with one of those when they came out.
Was pretty ahead of its time, the first phone with real gaming capabilities.
getting flashbacks of 2006 esqe irivers
>>336241048
It was and there was a game based on the CGI movie using the same graphics engine. Wasn't bad but there's no way you'd want to play that over the real RE4 if you had access to it.
>>336239483
What were the loading times like on half life and portal?
They were up to 40 seconds on the PS3.
>>336241798
>got a PSP for my birthday
>Auntie buys me UMD movies including Corpse Bride, AVP and FF7 Advent Children
As a kid I don't why playing movies on a handheld console blew my mind but I liked it then realized as I got older you can just put movies on your memory stick.
Wasn't there a mobile version of Resident Evil 4?
I seem to remember playing one.
>>336237007
only nintendo WFC, games using other online services were unaffected
>>336240660
what the fuck, is this fucking worms?
>>336243438
PC version was balls to the wall difficult.
Wasn't the player speed and jumping different too?
>>336226206
>>336224938
GBA had a lot of weird ports. This one was kinda fun, it was interesting seeing a 3D-ish environment on the GBA.
Ah the Zeebo
Also, I just noticed now, why are they blue?
>>336242620
too bad every cartdridge only held 2 fucking episodes and costed 19.90
>>336243769
Yeaaaa there's a good reason it died off quick.
>>336243591
It was probably adapted that way. You know, to be superior.
>>336240958
I have the N64 version of this. Probably one of the rarest games I own.
>>336243591
The port was outsourced to Gearbox so there are a few slightly different things. The animation system is weirdly locked at 30fps, so if you set it to 60fps in the settings menu then everything stutters
>>336224590
I never asked for this?

>>336231189
That amazing coop
>>336243864
It was actually worse than the original.
>>336243450
yeah but at the time memory sticks costed a shitton, internet speeds were slow, pcs took a shitton of time to convert a whole movie in psp format and you could find umd videos for 2 euros each

>>336240474
oh my god i spent so much time playing the miami map
>>336244153
it's streamed
it's not a port
Squenix tried setting up a game streaming service but failed
>>336233874
Thanks for the memories, I tested this game when the character models didn't even have torsos. It was fun from what I remember, they had me test out the drum gameplay. If you don't like the drum pads you can always just use the buttons bear in mind.
>>336243921
Bioshock on on was the same way the animations were obviously made for 30fps and had this super weird stuftering ar 60 fos.
>>336240842
>>336233742
It was never officially released and leaked on the internet a couple of years ago.
lets talk about this
>>336226873
Did it actually work?
>>336240474
I actually played the shit out of that. For some weird reason when I was younger my family only had macs so I suffered with no PC until I was like 16.
Remember this game?
>>336232258
Man, Sega took some real risks with the Dreamcast. I wish it had paid off.
>>336245553
Wait they actually put two on xbox? I played the shit out of the first port which was actually 1 and 2 combined.
>>336245746
yeah it wasnt bad but it had so many things like aim assist and the game was overall easier, so breezing through it on serious wasnt any fun. and it was more based on humour than puzzles so it suffered alot for it
>>336244468
The java Guitar Hero was shit.The Gameloft knockoff was much better.
I remember seeing the previews on GamePro and being excited as fuck. I thought, "Wow, a SNES game remade on Game Boy, that's impressive."
I don't know why, but I think I have some fetish with 8-bit graphics and sprites.
When the GBA was about to release on 2001, I remember a local Toys R Us had some demo units with Super Mario Advance and I thought it was the pinnacle of gaming.
Being able to take my favorite SNES games on the go felt so wonderful. I miss those days of innocence and wonder.
Port of the game Quest64, a really mediocre RPG that no one liked despite the fact that the N64 didn't even have RPGs.
Really fun game for an 8 year old though.
>>336228712
Did they fix the difficulty bug in this one?
>>336233216
I want those little finger drums just because
>>336243313
I don't remember them being bad at all on 360. I played Portal and HL2/EP1/EP2 all on 360 and fucking loved them. I still don't understand how people can say that they're only playable on PC, or that you can't get through HL2 without a mouse. It was just a good goddamned shooter.
>>336239483
Orange Box wasn't weird, it was rad as fuck on 360. IDK about PS3.

>>336233278
Aw man, I got so excited for the tiny finger drums.
>>336239483
Holy shit, the loading times on Half Life (and to a lesser extent, Portal) were so long in this version. It was still my first taste of the Half Life series, and I loved it.
>>336241362
Anybody remember that thread talking about people playing these on Android via the GBA emulator? It's like the most hipster shit imaginable. Just watching GBA video via phone emu.
>>336224590
The PS2 version is the canon version btw
>>336233570
was the screen as terrible ghosting disaster as reviewers are implying?
>>336246515
>Orange Box wasn't weird, it was rad as fuck on 360.
The post was about just how different console TF2 (i.e. vanilla) is to modern TF2 really. No updates in mechanics, bare minimum rocket jumping, fire is actually dangerous etc.
SO HERE I AM
>>336246834
Ah, alright. I actually didn't touch TF2 on 360 because I didn't have home internet at the time. That seems so fucking weird to me now. My house was totally disconnected. No house phone either.
I own this, because I loved playing the pc version at my grandparents house as a kid.
>>336242767
Yea I wish you could pick between the new and old
Street Fighter 2 on the Commodore 64. Unplayable garbage.
>>336234393
palm os had a bunch of ports and emulators for it
>>336232220
Load times are absolute ass and 2 characters and a game save was enough to fill a single memory card but it's a really solid port, I'm not really to knowledgeable about the PC version but It's pretty much 1:1 as far as I know.
It controls well too and they streamlined the UI a bit
>>336239412
It's not actually a port, but when I was really young I remember my dad bringing home this old computer with a few games(floppy disk) with it and this was one of them. Having never had a PC before(I only had nintendo consoles until xbox came out when I was a teenager), I thought this was the dopest shit.
I'm only realizing now that it wasn't a PC, but a commodore 64 that he brought home. Mind blown.
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow on mobile phones. Hell, even the original Castlevania got a port to mobiles. I remember borrowing my buddies' phones just to play those games in class.
>>336233854
Build engine games are actually not that wholly unsuited to handhelds come to think of it.
I'm curious, how many games that were on PS3 also had a PS2 version? I know there were a few of them that did
>>336240474
Some of the maps on this are great. I used to play this shit all the time.

All this talk about weird wii ports reminded me that I had one of these and that I used it as my only private access to the internet for like 3 years, before I got my own PC.
Do you know how many nights I stayed up looking at porn with those terrible load times and weird Wii internet browser ui? PC is so much easier.
And now I just remembered that ds and 3ds internet browsers
Fuck man. Internet ports are the weirdest ports.

>>336248986
I didn't have the cartridge or whatever you needed to use it. I always wanted to get it, but it was hard to convince my parents to buy it for me because they didn't want me to have private internet access. They only let me have the wii and usb connector because I told them I needed it to play games.

Half Life 2 got a port t the og XBOX
pretty sure there was a fable 2 PC port, same with OG fable.
>>336251841
One thing is that it doesn't have LA Meltdown, it starts at Lunar Apocalypse. But they've actually ported the engine over to Genesis, so that's an achievement, really.
>>336250763
A lot of people were on routers in 2005, don't be excusing this nonsense.
>>336253367

Not really a port of an existing game, rather a franchise port. Not bad, just bland as all fuck. And 100% is locked unless connecting to Ass Creed 2 on PS3.

Again, not a port but a franchise port.AIIII GOT IT~
>Insecticide (DS to PC)
Only played the DS game, it's ok.
>All those mobile ports
Worms was GOAT. Doom RPG was GOAT. Splinter Cell was eh. God of War was eh. Ass Creed was repetitive but fun for a bus ride. Lost Planet was surprisingly fun.
>tfw no God Hand on PSP or Vita
>tfw no comfy, Animal Crossing-like game on PSP or mobile

I had the DS Lite browser.
>trying to browse the internet with no flash and only 10MB of RAM
Truly, it was dark times. But it was still great.

It was weird that they only ported this game and not the first or third ones
>>336241798
I have about a hundred of these, still see them dirt cheap time to time.

How does she react?

I think this has been ported to most everything ever.
The GBA Island for Animal Crossing got ported to mobile phones, only in Japan.
I remember playing it, strange how I found next to no info about it though.
Oblivion for mobile phones.
>>336257172
yeah I think so. I have this one but I'm not nearly European enough to like it.
>>336250025
I remember going to my local library to use their wi fi to download porn on my PSP.
>>336229220
It's not as if the original was a masterpiece either, anon.
Yeah Doom RPG is fun. Wolfenstein RPG is better though.

That's a good thing, actually.
>>336257814
They should have got sued for this shit
>>336240660
Stunned. Can't imagine watching this on a GBC
>>336232258
There is a leaked copy online. It plays fine but the memory card shit wasn't optimized to the point that it takes more space to svae than there is on a standard vmu
I remember back when phone contracts gave you a certain amount of money instead of X minutes and X texts, so when I got to the end of my month I'd allways spend it on java games andhabbo coins.
>>336228324
It's kind of a catastrophe, but you can see the ambition. I'd take it over the blandly bad garbage we have today.
>>336259807
I remember reading a thing about the development of this port and how they had to change a lot of strange minor things that Nintendo didn't like
interesting stuff
>>336242275
>oh man the 00's was a weird time for tech
Every time was a weird time for tech. VCDs, CEDs, LaserDisc, Betamax; the CDi, the 3DO; hell, we're probably going to look back at the smaller Netflix competitors like youtube premium in the same way.
>>336245203
Physics engine, not animations. It's been fixed, too.
>>336261217
I didn't even know that this port exists until around 2009.
I always played theAmigaversion when I was younger.
>>336261217
Well yeah, you can kill a hamster by putting it into a microwave. They had to cut that out for instance.
>>336261864
when I was younger I played theversion you can find in Day of the Tentacle
>>336261954
here I found the thing

>>336261954
No, that's still in the NES version somehow.
>>336232258
That kind of shit happened constantly during that gen.
Along with Rainbow Six getting a Dreamcast port.
>>336233882
no shit?
like pov?
>>336225473
Dude I have it, it's pretty good
>>336244292
>>336255787
thats not the only thing
its suspected that its not even a port, but instead is basically a remake of DR on a heavily modified RE4 Wii edition. The controls, some textures, and I think models are all the same. Honestly really bonkers if its true.
