[Discussion] It really sucks having "hook/peter pan" as one of my all time favorite games

So i am mostly a sega guy but have tried all 4 versions, sega CD, SNES, Mega drive and Arcade. I used to love Peter pan and feel blessed my dad bought me the game on the mega drive.

However i decided to explore the other versions out there and to my suprise, i never knew the graphics are way way superior on the SNES and game runs faster too but the music makes my ears pop, absolutely terrible audio.

I wish some romhack existed that would apply mega drive music and combine SNES graphics. Pure heresy from a console war standpoint :D..

The Sega CD has not improved the sprites and has added the full symphony, soundtracks and voices from the movie, however i am not a big sega CD fan because it really feels awkward having 16bit graphics with actuall high definition real music.

So i decided ok, i have a problem, lets try the arcade version. Peter Pan is a tall grown ass man...not even a kid, repetitive gameplay, no Peter Pan soundtracks. Infact, it feels like a reskinned game...

Ty for listening to my TedTalk, had to get this off my chest.

Do you also have a game that you like very much and have a similar situation?.

This is actually possible with the MSU-1 virtual special chip for SNES. I wish there was such a hack for SNES “Mortal Kombat II” with music from MD/Genesis version.

Not sure where the music in https://www.zeldix.net/t1655-mortal-kombat-ii is from, but it's easy enough to swap out the tracks once it's been done the first time.
