amstrad I think. most colorful. sms is disappointing imo.

The Nes has 3 different versions. the Japanese one has the somewhere over the Rainbow song and the US release is the same as Japanes but with differed song. And the version on the Video is EU and is totally different from the JAP/US port. The SMS Port is actually a port from the JAP/US releaseof the NES. That said i say JAP NES & SMS are the best ports. It shows again that home computer ports could not compete with console ports.

@marquis0r Spectrum was the best. Amstrad was the worst on this.

Playing styles are whats important not graphics and the Speccy had the win on playability that's a given.

Music that bled your ear and slow gameplay made the AMSTRAD look like the worst version to me.

I guess the CPC version is best but looks like it runs a bit slow.

Note that the Spectrum version here is the 48K version. The 128K version had exactly the same music as the Amstrad one.

the cpc looks like the arcade, NES also very good... weird, i don't like the master system version as i'm a bit of a sega fanboy :-)
