Super Street Fighter II (DOS) Looks nearly arcade perfect and it’s got remixed music.
Biohazard 2 Sourcenext (Windows) Probably the best way to play RE2 classic outside of emulation.
Final Fantasy VIII (Windows) Good port I think, bonus it comes with Choco World the Pocketstation minigame.
Dynasty Warriors 4 Hyper (Windows) Higher resolution than PS2 with dynamic shadows.
Please share some of your own finds I want to get a list going.
edit: A couple more I can think of
Final Fantasy XI (Windows)
Virtua Fighter 2 (Windows) Has a cool feature where the computer ai can learn from you, later used in Virtua Fighter 4 iirc.
Samurai Showdown 2 (DOS) I think it’s DOS anyway. Looks arcade perfect.
You can use FFNx with any PC version of FF7 and 8 and comes with some QoL free (e: true 360° movement for example). Too bad the modding scene in FF8 has been pretty slow, but I’m guessing next year we’ll have all textures upscaled.
Also the recompilations like N64 OoT and Majora’s Mask
Nice!
