These are the games I remember from childhood not the crappy arcade games with shitty graphics and sound.
I would really like to see soundtrack added to these titles and maybe some art, besides that it's perfect, thanks again.

The arcade version has objectively better sound and graphics.

No they dont I own the arcade kollection and they have different graphics but not better, also these are the good old pc games we all remember from childhood and that what this site is all about.
It's not good old consoles/arcade games.

Yes they do. There really is no argument there. Arcade was the original and most powerful hardware then and all other versions (PC included) simply have downsampled assets from arcades. Plus some compromises for performance reasons like limited framerate.
And Arcade Kollection is a buggy mess so it's not really representative.

I dont need to look over it on youtube, I told you I own the game and it suck donkey balls graphics wise performance wise and the sounds are nothing like the dos games we grew on.
So frankly I dont care that you dont care about my childhood but thank god GOG does so piss off.

You are simply wrong sir.

Unless you own the arcade machines, or are using a MAME emulator on the original ROMs, no, you don't own the actual arcade versions of the games. Arcade Kollection on Steam is NOT actually the arcade versions.

Yes well this is what everyone's talking about, but according to your logic you want GOG to offer the actual machine right?!
Actually, I have made no statement about what version GOG should try to offer. I'm just pointing out that people aren't wrong about the arcade versions having better graphics and sound. You keep saying they are, but your insistence is based off of versions that AREN'T the arcade versions.

Your anger and vitriol is misplaced sir. Yes, this is the best version of the games offered digitally so far (at least legally), but that does not make them better than the original arcade versions, as your original post claimed. Better than Arcade Kollection? Yes. Better than the original arcade versions? No.

My logic is nothing more than "Your claim is wrong."

I'm curious, what are the problems with the Arcade Collection? I have the PS3 version and it's really good, I play it all the time and haven't really noticed any problems, is there something uniquely wrong with the Windows version? Or is it just that it uses GFWL?
The actual arcade cabinets are the best experience for mk.

There are some problems related to the PC version but not all of them. When it comes to PC - for starters problems with GFWL that prevents many people from even playing the game (the infamous "press enter" screen). Then there is no option to rebind directional keys on a keyboard and inability to play locally unless you have 2 XInput controllers (one player on a keyboard and second on a gamepad is not an option). There are supposedly some workarounds with messing with the config files but in game options don't allow any of this.
Then there are universal problems that consoles had as well - audio problems. In MK1 music in Goro's lair stops after introduction, in MK2 you can hear some skipping in music (because the track is internally chopped into smaller files).
The problems that I don't know whether they are platform specific or not (but I would guess not) are: in MK2 if you leave the game in demo mode all sound will stop after a few minutes, at some point after a ladder fight the game will take you to a character select screen (not just after Jade fight) and there are some corrupt sprites on Kintaro.

"In MK1 music in Goro's lair stops after introduction"

Thanks, this part I noticed, I assumed it was intentional as some kind of suspense thing, but couldn't remember as I haven't played the arcade version in several years.

I'll have to play into MK2 and check out the other stuff you mentioned.
I'm not going to buy this, but i can say THANKS because i realy appreciate this,because we have a choice to buy that DOS ports here or buy Arcade Emulated ports in Steam. To tell the truth i'm always interested of all versions of specific game, for example i like all versions of DOOM that i have.
