It’s a sad day as this is probably the last battle of the Ports video to be posted here on RGB. This week on Battle of the Ports I’m taking a look at Don Doko Don from Taito.

Never heard of this one, that music is pretty grating that’s for sure.. maybe it’s because I have a headache today. That said, the gameplay looks fun, would be an interesting one to play for a high score battle. ---

Yeah, I think this is a good candidate for high score battle. The bonus screen for sure as shooting a he UFOs at different altitudes provides different rewards. ---

A game that started life on computers but then came to consoles a year later. Vastly superior but still a very average game. [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/EyiTtbEEOMU/maxresdefault.jpg "Battle of the Ports - SWIV (スーパーSWIV) Show 612 - 60fps") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EyiTtbEEOMU) ---

Do you like Zombies ate my Neighbour? Or overhead shooters in general? If so, this new game from Mega Cats Studios could be for you.

I get that this game certainly didn’t age well, but I really did enjoy it a lot back in the amiga days. The console ports look a lot better for sure. ---

I think the game has potential but it’s certainly not something I can get in to. ---

I’ve seen mention on the net that this is the best game on the Amiga. That it most definitely isn’t, but is it actually any good?
