The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I'm looking for a list that has all the PC games (Such as Doom, Duke Nukem, etc) that were ported to the consoles listed.
I'd hate to have to go through gamefaqs and make my own list but if I have to I will.
I know this sounds pointless as 99% of the games are probably better on the PC but this is some thing I'd like to do ( I plan on buying all of them eventually)

Dune 2 - Genesis/MD
C&C:TD - N64/PS1
Red Alert 1 - PS1
Red Alert Add-ons - PS1

Here's a few others off the top of my head:

Speaking of Doom for the SNES I heard that even though on the box it says it uses the Super FX chip that it really doesn't.
Anyone confirm?
There was the Super FX chip, and the "Super FX 2" chip. The FX2 chip was basically the same thing, but with more power. (as in, the FX chip was "underclocked" at 10.5 MHz, the second release of the chip, the "Super FX 2" chip was just basically the same chip but clocked at its regular 21 Mhz speed)
Doom used the Super FX 2 chip. As did Yoshi's Island.
Duke Nukem 64 was great too. I remember playing the hell out of it.
Yeah, that game is still awesome.
I mean, sure, the textures were a little blurrier than the PC version, but other than that, the game looked awesome, sounded awesome, and the controls were superb. Plus the minor additions, like the guns, and the polygonal final boss, and some remixed DM arenas, it all was icing on the cake. 4-p DN3D deathmatch on a single console with 4 controller ports? Fucking awesome. Plus I think it had cooperative as well. man, great game.
Is it worth pointing out the ports that made it to the Jaguar as well? I myself had Castle Wolfenstein 3D, Doom and Syndicate (the version of Doom for the GBA seems to be exactly the same as the Jaguar port -at least, it has the same omissions).
The Saturn version of Myst had a great 'making of' film clip.
Other than stuff thats already been mentioned, the only thing that comes to mind is Forsaken. A decently reviewed Descent clone that had a simultaneous release on PC, PS1, and N64. I think of it as a PC game first and foremost as I first read of it in PC Gamer, and wasn't aware of console version until it came out, and the PC version had slightly better reviews. Never did actually get around to playing it though.

Does it matter if it was originally PC or console? You say "ported to consoles" but just in case.
Diablo was ported to PS1. I think some of the Myst games were too.
I'm not really asking for you guys to name games, just if there is a list some where point me in the direction.
If there is some thing in these ports interesting to talk about then go ahead.
Dune 2 - Genesis/MD
C&C:TD - N64/PS1
Red Alert 1 - PS1
Red Alert Add-ons - PS1
Dune 2000 - PS1
Here's a few others off the top of my head:
Myst - PS1/Saturn
Riven - PS1
Myst 3 - PS2
Doom 64 - N64
Theme park (sort of, under the guise of Sim Theme Park) - PS1
I think Duke Nukem and C&C also were.
Please look over it and add anything I missed.

actually Doom 64 is an entirely new Doom game with new levels and completely redone enemies, and some modified weapons (and one new one).
Some people created a Mod for DoomII that replicated Doom64 for the PC version though.
Anyway, Doom64 is a lot of fun, great doom game. I just wish that you didn't skip like 10 levels towards the end 'by default.'

And how could I forget You Don't Know Jack as well? (Playstation)
Edit: Really? It was entirely new? I mean, I knew that it was graphicaly enhanced, but didn't know the levels were redone as well.

Every level in the game was totally new. There are no levels in Doom64 that were in previous Doom games.
All of the textures and art for walls/floors are new, and the art for enemies and weapons are new too.
Some of the weapons were modified, and there's even a new super weapon.
The final boss is some kind of huge bug thing that was never in the other Dooms.
Finally, they enhanced the lighting engine, so that Doom64 actually had colored lights.

Doom was also released on the XBLA for the 360

The Saturn version of Myst had a great 'making of' film clip.
The PS1 version of Riven came on 5 discs.
Correct. N64, too.
Now I am confused as hell. I remembered it being on the Saturn, but Wikipedia told me otherwise. PAL only maybe?
Maybe you are thinking of Quake I.
I'm possibly thinking of Quake 1?
(backup excuse: It's 0330 here, we have reason to be incoherent)
Wikipedia says it was released three months after the PC version.
Are you sure? I can't find anything about it on Mobygames nor Wikipedia.
And wasn't there a cornball version of Mechwarrior 2 on the PSX?
And I thought V8 was a spin-off, not a real sequel...
Oh man, that game was the shit for cooperative.
