I like it, I like your writing style and the layout is nice and clean.

How about comparing ports of the same game for various computers/consoles and point out the best one?

Of course comparing The Sega Saturn port of Space Harrier to the ZX Spectrum port wouldn't really be fair, I guess there would have to be some kind of rule..like only pitting 8-bit arcade games against 8-bit computers or consoles for example. Or only comparing 8-bit home ports of a 16-bit arcade game.

Idea for next game:

C64 Gyruss vs. arcade Gyruss (very few people know how good this port was)
C64 Crazy Comets/Mega Apocalypse vs. arcade Mad Planets (I know who will "win" this one lol).
ZX Spectrum Cavelon vs. arcade Cavelon (they are practically identical)
ZX Spectrum Green Beret vs C64 Green Beret vs. arcade Green Beret :-)
