Dino Crisis 1, Resident Evil 2, (the first one on the pc was publshed by virgn) Mega Man X 1-4 on the PC so ya know.
er.. not quite.. megaman x2 was never released on pc. also, if i remember correctly, megaman x1 was published by gametek, who also published 'super street fighter 2 turbo,' which was a MUCH better port than 'super street fighter 2,' which was published by hi-tech. hi-tech is known for some of the crappiest ports. they ported the origianl 'street fighter' and 'street fighter 2'
oh, and hi-tech somehow acquired the rights for the name "megaman" and released their own version (not the nintendo-goodness) of 'megaman,' 'megaman 3,' and 'chip n dale.' these games have like nothing to do with the actual capcom-made games, other than teh names.
most of the psx-to-pc ports were kind of...blah. they could have done a much better job with those games. i know that for a fact because the same games were later ported to dreamcast, which actually featured cleaner graphics with more attention to details adn stuff (dino cricis, resident evil 2, resident evil 3)
did they mention 'street fighter alpha' and 'street fighter alpha 2' for pc? i actually own 'street fighter zero 2,' which felt like a rush job for more than handful of reasons...although u cant blame them because it was a port of the PSX VERSION of SFZ2, not the ARCADE VERSION. (i.e. the FMV sequences were not real-time; characters and backgrounds are missing frames; VERY similar menus)
im also pretty sure capcom did a port of super puzzle fighter 2 turbo, unless it was cancelled at the last minute or something...i remember seeing a promotion for it somewhere.
its a #### shame capcom didnt port any of the zn-based games (SF EX series; rival schools), because they are so much fun (and full of those crazy light effects) and most of pc's nowadays can handle stuff much more complicated than those.
