I grew up gaming on a Sega Master System and Quartet was one of the many games I really enjoyed playing but man, was that one hard game to beat. I never did finish it but I did get many hours of enjoyment and frustration from it.
Today we take a look at the few ports of Quartet that actually made it to the public. What's odd is that there's no 16 bit home computer ports.
Anyway, sit back and enjoy a game that came from Sega's powerful System 16 hardware.

When I was a child my farther would take my brothers and I to the local swimming pool. Outside the changing rooms they had two arcade cabinets. One was 1947 and the other was this, The Legend of Kage. The Japanese style really captured my imagination back then as did the music. I never could reach the top of the fortress though.

Outside of Road Blasters this is my favourite laser disc based arcade game, Time Gal. It has so much going n that it's hard not to like it.
The game was ported to many different formats, most of which are show on this video. Unfortunately I couldn't show you the MSX or Sharp X1 versions as they come on VHD and I don't have a VHD player. The Mega LD version comes on laser disc however the game is very expensive so I can't show you that either. I can tell you that it's identical to the arcade version but with pauses between cut scenes due to the way the tracks are laid out on the laser disc.

Power Instinct or Gōketsuji Ichizoku as it was originally called in Japan is one of the many one-on-one fighters that tried to cash in on the Street Fighter franchise but unlike many this has a lot of interesting and original ideas.

The very first episode of Battle of the Ports was about a game I've loved since I was 10 years old. That game was Space Harrier. However in that very first Battle of the Ports show there was no commentary, no subtitles, it ran at 30fps and worst of all only 13 ports were covered.
This remake of the video corrects those issues with the now expected voice-over, subtitles, 60fps video and 26 ports of Space Harrier!! Now that's what I call an update.

Rayman was massive or at least in Europe he was. It was the best selling PlayStation game in the UK outselling the likes of GTA and Tomb Raider 1 and 2. These days everyone knows Rayman but not many people talk about the original game any more. Let's take a look at all the available versions. I say available because as always the digital only versions are long gone. That's the DSi and Smartphone versions. Good old digital only releases. Sure it the way forward to making stuff obsolete. Versions such as the PlayStation classics or virtual console type services don't count because they're not ports, just emulated versions of another port.

Here we go with the first of many remastered versions of classic Battle of the Ports videos. The early shows didn't feature a voiceover and only ran in 30fps. Over time I'll be remastering these old episodes with full voiceover as you've come to expect, 60fps captures and adding games that I may have missed in the past.
So sit back and enjoy this new version of Battle of the Ports, Out Run.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wanna be, the Battletoads are here! Does the game suck or is it all they say it is? How about the ports? Can the Amiga produce a good port of a NES game? Watch on to find out.
Please note that the Game Boy and Master System games are not included since they are different games. Same goes for the arcade game.
The Xbox One Rare collection version isn't featured because that's just emulation running on the Xbox One.

It's time for another remastered Battle of the Ports as voted upon by you, the viewer. This week we are taking a look at R-Type. The original video was only in 30fps, had no voiceover and contained 14 versions of R-Type. This video is in 60fps 1080p, has a voiceover and contains 18 versions of R-Type.
Note: in this video I state that the Master System port of R-Type is by Natsume. This is an error. COMPILE handled the Master System port. Natsume did Darius 2.
