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.

This is a good example, but man did I dislike Bionic Commando on the NES. I was just so terrible at it. There was clearly just some disconnect in my brain because I beat many of the ultra hard NES games.

    I totally get that. Every other game has A for jump, B for shoot, with some subtle variations on top of that. That muscle-memory runs deep. Then this game comes along like "I'm going to destroy this man's whole career" by changing out jump for "do wildly different stuff depending on which way the d-pad is leaning."
