    Taito was one of the nice Japanese company that would give the level data and sprite sheets for their games to European and American developers for them to make the 8-bit/16-bit computer ports. That's why all the level layouts are pretty close, down to the hidden warps.
    Companies like Capcom would not be so kind, and for games like Ghost 'n Goblins, developers had to go to the arcade and take photos of the game! (And remember, there was no digital camera at the time!)

      Taito gave the gfx yes, but never the source code. New Zealand story has been reversed engineered back in the day at Ocean by Colin Gordon.
      Ghost'n'goblins amiga port was also lifted straight the coin-op eproms, that's why it's exactly or 99% identical graphic wise.

      @@SockyNoob not at all. I still own the SMS version and I think the NES one was better because even if graphics are a bit weaker, the soundchip is better used, the main music is not a 20 seconds loop and it gives the proper boss fight. All in all, the NES still lacks the EXTEND letters bonus too and I guess it also uses the annoying Hurry Up timer but IMHO it's a better port from the arcade.

    Some interesting differences between home ports. NES music by Follin bros. is pretty dope tho IMO the original tunes suit better the game. Then the Mega Drive Japanese exclusive port is actually the only one based on the Arcade prototype which has different level layout and is harder, pretty cool especially once you already played the original :) Then the Master System port looks great for a 3rd gen console as opposite to the PC Engine port which, for a 4th gen console, is just poor with drab graphics and not even a different sound effect for each weapons...

    I can't understand anyone who says the Master System version is good (I can only think they never played it, or they did but didn't play other versions, or are basing their opinion on graphics). So much was left out of it. The amount of enemies that spawned at one time was extremely limited, and the whale didn't even swallow you! I loved the Atari version, but I'm not sure it's the best since I can I didn't play other versions and it's impossible to tell from a video (which I have a feeling is why people think the Master System version was anything other than terrible).

    • @PainterVierax

    4) Amiga (pretty good, slightly downgraded graphics, good music and sound fx)
    5) Mega Drive (new level designs, music is not good but not bad, graphics look like the arcade game, slower than Amiga)
    6) PC-Engine (washed out graphics, bad music, sound effects interrupt music, no intro)
    7) Atari ST (alightly washed out graphics, sound fx interrupt music, not bad music)
    8) NES (fairly bad graphics, excellent music and sound effects, plays very well)
    9) Master System (looks infinitely better than the NES version, but music is worse, and some gameplay elements have been changed, very fast)
    10) C64 (for C64, decent graphics, good music, bad sound effects, has some issues with gameplay)
    11) Spectrum (ugly monochrome graphics, nice music, plays better than C64 but brought down by it's graphics.)
    12) Amstrad (very blocky graphics, music should be same as Spectrum, too slow, too slow, and too slow.)

Methinks the CPC just wasn't up for the job since both systems don't have any hardware support for scrolling or sprite movement.

      The only version released in North America, the NES version, was inexplicably re-titled as Kiwi Kraze over here.

      There were 2 versions Here. One by the name Kiwi Kraze & The NewZealand Story.

      The New Zealand Story is a lot harder to find though. But it will play on PAL or NTSC from my understanding.

      For the NES:
      Newzealand Story in everywhere except North America.
      Kiwi Kraze in North America.

      I could be wrong. But I remember seeing it in a game store here about 15 or so years ago. In fact they had about 6 of them. 1 with a box.

      yeah calm down. He's not blasting the MD but the composer's skill. In fact, a lot of ports sound bad on MD because its soundchip is hard to master.
      BTW I think the Megadrive port of this game is strange : it doesn't respect the level design at the contrary of all the other ports presented.

    • @PainterVierax
      @PainterVierax 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      answering myself : the MD port is from a prototype of the arcade.

    Spectrum version sucks! didn't bother with colour or backgrounds and it's slooooow. A terrible rush job. Amstrad version is pretty dire, too. Both much worse than I remember. The C64 version is excellent, I think, although the sprite doesn't look like Tiki.
    Nes is good, Master System is excellent - really close to the arcade for a 3.5 MHz machine from 1985. Shame about the sprite flicker! Had this on the PC Engine and there really isn't much difference.
    All the 68000 versions are as expected, with the ST version feeling a bit 'meh'.
