I found an amazing YouTube series called "Let's Compare" while working on this one, in which people show footage from every different port they can find of old arcade games. I had to spend my younger years convincing myself that Atari 2600 Pac-Man and Donkey Kong really weren't that bad, even though I had played the real games in arcades. Looking at some of these comparisons, there's no denying it - home ports were mostly terrible, albeit in some fascinating ways.
