Video Game Conversion - Criticism

Criticism

Criticism has been made of converting video games in the past. Critics of arcade conversions often point to a lack of depth or sophistication that these games offer, especially in comparison to titles written especially for the console. Some contend that arcade conversions are produced exclusively to make money, as the design work is for the most part already carried out. This is, however, countered by the numerous extra features that modern arcade conversions often offer.

A number of criticisms have also been launched against conversions of games between home computers and consoles, particularly post-1995.
