The Video Game Critic

Golden Axe was an extremely good port, actually. Unfortunately(maybe due to just waking up), that's the only one that springs immediately to mind. Check that one out.

Really going to have to disagree with you alienblue!
Altered Beast, Strider and Golden Axe all suck on sms, its due to the limitations of the console and some poor programming. They used background tiles instead of sprites to make the large characters in the games, but that just makes them incredibly slow and choppy - and limits the amount of colours in the game. To see a large game character in a sms game done properly check out the fabulous first two Asterix games, Obelix is really big, perfectly animated and moves fluidly.

Sonic is brilliant on sms, but if your constantly going to compare it to the genesis/megadrive version then you'll be dissapointed. Well the sms was never going to be able to re-create the genesis game, its a 8bit console, that most of its design dates back to 1981! I'm very glad they made an almost totally different game for sms, its not a watered down port, its a unique game that makes the most of the console, and makes a good accompalice to the genesis game. The Jungle levels in particular are beautiful and totally different to any of the levels in any of the genesis sonic games.

Most games wern't ported down to sms anyway, they were developed at the same time. The games that were released on both systems and work really well on sms, and in some cases are far better than their genesis couterparts include:

Streets of Rage, Dynamite Headdy, Bonanza Bros, Ecco, Castle of Illusion, Dr Robotniks Mean Bean Machine, Road Rash, Robocop vs Terminator, Zool, Tazmania, Columns, Wolfchild, Micro Machines, Krustys Fun House and loads more...
