The worst way to play the best games?

[Holic]

I while ago, i saw a you tube video about good games that are horrible in some plataforms, for example Max Payne which is awesome on PC but terrible on Playstation 2. Half Life 2 which awesome on PC my has frame rate issues on xbox, and so on.

I recently got myself into this thread by playing stray on the nintendo switch, since i dont have a gaming pc or a ps5, but i really want to play this game i give it a go. I managed to finish it but my god it was a dreadful experience.

Star Trek Voyager: Elite Force on PS2, The House of the Dead on Sega Saturn, literally any remaster by Limited Run Games (moreso due to ethical reasons, but also because some of their efforts like Clock Tower Rewind add needless additions), and on a less sucky note, the BFG Edition of Doom 3 (still perfectly enjoyable, but odd changes and a narrower FOV make it less desirable than the OG PC version and OG Xbox port).

Pretty much any multi-platform game of the 6th and 7th generations; stay away from the PlayStation versions. PS2 and PS3 are great, but my god those ports were awful.

Splinter Cell Chaos Theory on PS2
Red Dead Redemption on PS3
Quake 2 on N64

The best ports for each game are, as follows:
PC and Remake (House1)
Dreamcast and Wii (House2)
Xbox, PC, Wii and PS3 (House3)
And House of the Dead 4 is a PS3 exclusive, Overkill doesn't count since it's a non-canon vulgar grindhouse spoof, and 5: Scarlet Dawn hasn't had a port.

This trainwreck:

Unfinished source code used then patched up with random nonsense.
Broken fog. (its almost like a solid wall at a distance, just out of reach).
Low FPS, especially in SH3 sewer area.
Awful re-recorded voice lines (SH2 has option to switch to OG, however SH3 does not)
Looping/replaced audio or sfx everywhere.
Art assets changed e.g. repaved, clean looking roads in SH2. Teeth texture inside Maria's eye socket in a certain cutscene towards end of game, (yes that really is a thing)
I could go on quite frankly.

Carmageddon on the N64 is renowned as one of the worst games on the platform, but was a genuine classic on PC.

Carmageddon on the N64 is renowned as one of the worst games on the platform, but was a genuine classic on PC.

I live on the very island where Carmageddon was made (the British Isle of Wight). I've played a bit of the original through the GOG release, and am planning to look into the most recent chapter, and so I mean it when I say that C64 is an utter disgrace to my island's pride.

EDIT: Even the idea of a Carmageddon 64 is ridiculous, since the original game and its sequel are basically Death Race 2000: The Game. How does a deathmatch sport where you also must mow down pedestrians for points work on a Nintendo console pre-Perfect Dark and Conker's?
I'll tell you: IT DOESN'T.
EDIT #2: But then again, the Nintendo 64 is famed for the Turok trilogy, which is famed for its RoboCop levels of violence, so....

DOOM for the 3DO, from what I hear
