What arcade titles do you think are actually better in their console ports? (lemmy.world)

I've been playing a lot of Gauntlet: Dark Legacy lately and it seems like it has a number of improvements over the arcade release. I'm curious what other ports people find particularly good.

Very true. I've had the pleasure of playing NES Contra on a Play Choice 10 cabinet. The cabinet and arcade-stick experience makes this contrast even stronger: it's simply more fun than the arcade version, even if the only thing that's different is the software.
