yeah I know ABACABB or DULLARD on the sega CD version.  fatalities were altered too but the game itself was VERY close, that was my point =)


 I guess Super Mario Bros on NES was arcade perfect *shrugs*

Absolutely not.  The Genesis (and pretty much all other consoles) had some pretty big limitations that always ended up ruining arcade ports.  Sprites were smaller, colors were muted, sound wasn't as good.  It couldn't do any real scaling for games like Afterburner (although the SNES could with it's snazzy Mode 7 effect, and later, the Sega CD would add real scaling to the Genesis hardware).  Golden Axe was only 1 player for crying out loud!

Some games, like Altered Beast, were pretty close to arcade perfect because the arcade hardware was similar to the Genesis.  But for the most part, this was not the case.

There are slight differences in level layout and item placement. Also, there's no Level -1 glitch.

It wasn't.  The home console didn't have nearly the horsepower of the arcade motherboards... so they implemented the difference on the AES cartridges instead.  That's why AES games back then cost so damn much more than MVS games.  The end game was nearly identical but the hardware was definitely not the same.

Especially once the AES games moved to CD.   ;D

what in the hell are you talking about? the data is bit for bit the same. you can flash proms for the aes with MVS data and it'll play. the only difference in the hardware was the BIOS itself. even the AES controllers plugged into the neo geo boards for petes sake.

Take Neo Geo Expert off your resume.
