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.

NES Contra is just better in every way except graphics. The arcade version has clunky, awkward movement compared to the console version. But it also wasn't made to suck quarters out of your pocket until you were broke.
