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.

The X68000 port of Galaga '88 is indistinguishable from the arcade original, but it also includes an extra Arrange Mode, which replaces the enemies with characters from other Namco games.

(I'm also fond of the PC Engine conversion of the same, but I don't know if I'd call it a superior experience)
