Episode Notes:

1. Captured from real Saturn hardware via RGB.

2. Arcade clips from MAME.

3. There was a PC version of this as well. I've never seen it, though.

4. Modern releases like the SF 30th Anniversary Collection have the emulated arcade version. It's on the PC, Switch, PS4 and Xbox One.

5. This was a game steeped in controversy at its release. GameFan magazine released reviews claiming the Saturn version was inferior due to it not having blue shadows like the arcade. The thing was that the blue shadows were there the entire time. When you switched between the original and remixed soundtracks, it also switched between the original and remixed shadows. Further, the Saturn sound effects recreated the arcades sound effects nearly spot on, while the Playstation sound effects were resampled at a higher rate. This was held against the Saturn as well, despite the reviewers claiming "arcade perfection" as being the criteria for the better scores. It was a shit show plain and simple, and GameFan never admitted that they were just wrong no matter the bullshit excuse.

6. In the unmarked comparisons, the Saturn version is on the left, arcade on the right.
