What arcade titles do you think are actually better in their console ports? (lemmy.world)

I've been playing a lot of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy lately and it seems like it has a number of improvements over the arcade release. I'm curious what other ports people find particularly good.

I kinda agree with this one. The level and boss designs were slightly better in the arcade as well, but it was so clunky to control and clearly it was made to siphon off all your quarters/tokens.

The arcade levels also seemed really short to me. The boss designs were better, but the clunky movement made the experience worse IMO.

Absolutely agree.
