And both on Amiga (ECS & AGA):roflmao:

Even the mighty Nintendo 64 remake pales into insignificance after you've played Stardust and Super Stardust AGA :)

(PC versions are DOS so hardly anybody ever found a config.sys setup that worked before giving up so ner ner)

I'm kind of surprised it would take the power of either of those machines to reproduce that games.
Personally, I  always liked the NES version of Galaga (if you want to discuss good recreated arcade games).

I have an original Asteroids cabinet :) I meant retro remakes, as in modernizing it. SS AGA would have swallowed quarters like crazy if you put it in a JAMMA cabinet in 95. It's a design issue, without tunnel sections the PS3 version gets boring.

Now all we need is the same genius quality remakes of Gauntlet and Donkey Kong (Zaxxon remake = NEO GEO Viewpoint)

Donkey Kong should be fairly easy. If I'm not mistaken, the original ran on a Z-80.
