The Original is NOT Always Better!

well shit now that we're on the topic of namco i can bring this out:

Spoiler

Valkyrie no Bouken was released on the Famicom in 1986 and was then remade for Namco Anthology 2 for the PSX. The main differences are the music (the PSX remake uses the soundtrack of the arcade game while the FC version uses its own music), and the fact that the remake is more linear than the Zelda 1-esque original game and therefore has less exploration involved (which could be disappointing, depending on what kind of gamer you are). personally, i think the remake is much easier to play (the original game has pretty frustrating controls) and the graphics are really gorgeous.

*on a related note, a long time ago someone redid some of the original 8-bit sprites: http://pixelation.org/index.php?topic=8251.0
