How do some of the most groundbreaking and technically great games of the time come to such an undepowered machine? Let's find out -- here's a look at every Sega Arcade to Speccy port, from big names like Space Harrier and OutRun, to the ambitious likes of Galaxy Force, and to...well, some definite rubbish too. Enjoy!
