I was there, I was born in 1987, so I lived thru it. And most of the time the "ports" were just new games up to the point of shifthing the genre because of some really limited platforms.

My first console was the Atari, what you're referring to are some of the games based upon movies that happened.

There were some games like that, but not nearly all.

Mine a NES, so yes, there were huge differences on game implementations between consoles and its games.

Even between a C64 and a NES you can' make cloneish ports without sacrifing performance because the NES' PPU it's far better than the C64 counterpart.
