Weren't the Earthworm Jim games also on SNES? Or are the Sega versions different? Like Shadowrun on Genesis is a TOTALLY different game than Shadowrun on the SNES.
Anyway, I don't see Ecco on your list. That's a good one.
They were, yeah. I remember vaguely hearing they were supposed to be better on Genesis though, so I figured I'd grab 'em and compare.
They are about the same game, not a huge difference like the other games. But the Genesis / Mega Drive is the actual home of the game and the "correct" one. The SNES has the graphics a bit stretched, and are "wrong". In my opinion the music is a mixed bag, in the sense that sometimes the one version wins over the other. Most people say the SNES version is inferior, which I grew up with BTW. Earthworm Jim 2 on the other hand feel like plays better on SNES, but its just my gut feeling.
