Kung Fu on the NES even though I have a Kung Fu Masters pcb, I just prefer the NES version. :)
Kung-Fu Master on Arcade is simply sublime to play. Ever since you repaired mine I play it pretty regularly.
As much as I love the NES version, it's the Arcade version for me every time.

I'm finding it difficult to think of a home version of something I prefer over the Arcade.......I'll marinate on it and see if I can think of something.

Hmm, I can't really think of anything immediately - I wound up buying the PCB versions of my favourite games as they were always the definitive version, so the consoles wound up redundant (and on the to-flog list).

There's a few games that are better on later consoles - Time Crisis 2, Soul Calibur etc and if they're near- identical, I'm totally happy with a CDR for some arcade games like Xevious 3D/G as it's cheaper and less fragile than firing up an old PCB (I just pad hack the console into my machine which runs a TV anyway).

I do sometimes think there's scope for a splice-job for some games as sometimes home versions had better sound - not just CD soundtracks, Amiga games had some cool mod tunes that were sometimes better than the FM versions - e.g Matt Furniss's Badlands is great.

I picked up loads of consoles while started collecting arcade machines and boards, sold most of them though as only played home conversions because you couldn't play the originals, lots of original non arcade games on C64 and Amiga to enjoy and even though I have quite a few arcade versions on both I probably would bother playing there is one I'd still play, even more if you could use steering wheel/pedals and that's C64 Buggy Boy

Final Fight CD is a good one, the music is so good, I play that quite a bit.

Althoiugh the pcb does look and play better.

Still play final fight cd a fair bit even tho I have the pcb. It’s a good version. The new Megadrive version is looking pretty good from what I’ve seen. You can get the demo version off aliexpress until it's properly available

The one letdown with Final Fight CD is that it’s got half the enemies on screen vs. the arcade, which was like the taking part in a mass brawl.
Does sound great though.

I think I lost a lot of interest in Final Fight when I discovered The Punisher - that’s even better in every way.
