The time the Sega Genesis beat the mighty Neo Geo. Truth is the NG version is 100% arcade accurate, while the Genesis got a nice re-skin and improvements. For me is one of the best looking and sounding games ever on the less mighty, but still mighty Genesis.
GENESIS INTRO: "Allow me to set the scene tastfully and at length. In fair Verona, where we set our scene..." NEO GEO CD INTRO: "HOPE YOU CAN READ FAST, BEEATCH!"
Megadrive version is above arcade even. Atonic runner is a 86-87 release I think. The guy that did the port for Neo Geo probably tied to be accurate to the arcade and nothing else.
The MD version only really starts to look better than the original at 5:05 when the parallax layers are introduced. Before that, the original arcade and it's higher colour bit depth and more frames of animation give it the edge. Although there is more horizontal resolution on the MD version. The colours are less good I think.
The most impressive part of the Genesis remake is the early restraint that makes 5:04 on, that much more impressive. How many games are this confident or this disciplined? It's great to see this game's arcade original get ported, as it's another game for the platform, but also because every single time it's also a reminder that superior technology often bows to superior art direction. And that's a lesson with worth revisiting, especially now that tech bros and their AI are waging war on genuine human talent and creativity.
Megadrive version looks way better, I always played this one, and I am more than disappointed to see what they have done with the Neogeo one, it would have been way better !

You got the concept. The NG version tried to be arcade accurate and nothing else. It is an old game from 86-87 I guess.
Definitely like the style of the left one more

I think it's one of those few cases where the console version is better than the Arcade version
The Mega Drive version's sound driver is doing some pretty heavy PCM work, it's rather impressive.
To be honest I was distracted for the most part. The animation for the Neo Geo CD's joystick came out well.
One of my favourite mega drive game it’s Data East did great job for this home port is so much better than the arcade version

An endless runner like this could be good to port to mobile
10:20 why is the dragon thing wearing a gimp mask on the NeoGeo ?
É uma daqueles jogos em que considero a versão de console melhor que a de arcade.
É histórico isso. O arcade original é de 86 ou 87. A versão do Mega vai além. Essa versão do Neo Geo o cara portou do arcade e não fez mais nada.

Options on Neo Geo are sparse compared to the Genesis. But you can give yourself Infinite lives.
What! When atomic runner ported to neo geo?!

The Neo Geo version is arcade accurate, so if that was their goal in making it for NeoGeo, then they succeeded.
@@homiedclown Yeah I know, but it's still underwhelming when one knows about the potentiel of its hardware.
Genesis's version is the best of this game, overhead of arcade and any other version
Genesis version wins
Genesis actually looks better.
Sorry but I’ll take SEGA Genesis port anytime
It's like running Pac-Man on a supercomputer. No real point to it.
Mega Drive Wins! Acredito que a empresa que portou o jogo pro neo geo se esforçou muito pra fazer um trabalho tão ruim…
Why sega look better than Veo GeoCD???
Better music on sega, sega has parallax layers. Neo Geo worst colors, worst music, no parallax, poor colors.
The Neo Geo version is accurate to the arcade original, so in that regard it's a success.
That's just what the original arcade version looked like. This one of the few times where a console port was superior to the original arcade version.
