The Arcade Remake World Cup - Group A
 

The upcoming football World Cup isn't a real World Cup - World Cups don't happen in the winter - so I thought there might be a tiny bit of fun to be had with all the splendid Amiga remakes of classic arcade games we've had, now that there are enough of them to make a small tournament. So let's find out if I'm right :D

FORMAT: Four groups of four, top two go through to the quarter-finals, then straight knockout. Winner of Group A meets runner-up of Group B, etc. (The criteria for "best" is up to you - best original game, most authentic conversion, whatever.)

GROUP A:

Maybe I'm wrong with my thoughts, but these polls are like comparing apples and pears... Or did I just misunderstand something?

Which do you like best? Apples or pears?

I think you're oversimplifying this. I'm rather partial to a juicy, ripe conference pear, whilst far less enamoured by the blush variety despite their more vibrant, elegant appearance.

Thanks for including Space Invaders though you missed the updated version with backgrounds:

Damn! I somehow missed the version with the overlay styled backgrounds, looks awesome that.

Well, at least you know about it now, so this thread achieved something useful :D

Maybe i should write this in the Space Invaders thread that have no energy to look for right now, but the sounds the invaders make in the amiga version is different from the one i did grew up with (Model Racing version) - here is a two tone march while the MR version had a four tone march

Thanks - I will look into this as currently revisitng this game and adding a two player mode.
