The Apple version looked much better than the NES version. The PC-88 & PC-98 version absolutely demolish the NES version.
Citation needed...oh wait, I have a citation for you that proves you wrong:

Deus Ex on PS2 had crap textures, low quality soundtrack and tiny levels
They're not tiny, they're split in pieces, the port house didn't know the trick of streaming levels. But take a look at the screenshots...

and the comments at the end about the nice soundtrack and how it looks a touch nicer than the PC version. And this is people on Steam saying this, one of the more anti-console forums on the net.
Half-Life on PS2 came out three years after the PC original and still looked worse than the PC version with Blue Shift,
Do you know why I'm laughing. The graphical upgrade Blue Shift brought to the PC version was provided by the never released Dreamcast version. the High Definition pack are the textures the Dreamcast version used. The PS2 version has enhancements beyond that:
http://half-life.wikia.com/wik...
The PlayStation 2 remake of Half-Life saw even further improved models to the game, also created by Gearbox. This included full facial animation and individually-animated fingers.[4] As such, they're considered a continuation of the High Definition Pack. The PlayStation 2 port took advantage of a "Level of Detail" system, allowing these very detailed models up close without sacrificing performance. Health and H.E.V. Chargers have been converted to 3D and have special animations during use. These extra HD features were never officially released for the PC version of the game.
Both had crap controls on console, rendering them unplayable.
Really, you have copies? Played them? Citation needed, because I have both within 10 feet of me and know how they support effective dual shock controls, and also support keyboard and/or mouse. I personally recommend a hybrid control scheme, using the left half of a dual shock for movement...but mouse for aiming.
Sacred 2 looked like shit on PC, but far worse on console.
What? A game that runs at true 1080p with no upscaling tricks? Even digital foundry, notoriously partisan for the PC, said that.
It was also a very mouse heavy game which again renders it virtually unplayable on a gamepad.
That's not what Sacred 2's developers say. That's not even what people on the PC version say either. Some of them actually wanted gamepad support as well.
Diablo I on PSX came out two years after the PC version and runs at such a low resolution that you can't tell what it happening on screen.
Troll. It's one of the PSone games that runs at 240p. Yes it's low but you can easily make everything out. You can easily find video or screenshots.
Diablo III on console looks like shit compared to the PC version.
That's not what notoriously PC partisan Digital Foundry said:

On the technical scale, both the PS3 and 360 are running at the equivalent to the PC version's high settings for texture assets, physics and effects - with smoothed dynamic shadows almost a match for PC's highest preset. Quibbles with internal resolution and field of view aside, this is a pristinely presented take on a year-old game that targets 60fps on both platforms, and largely succeeds in nailing exactly that.
Again, mouse centric games that are horrid on gamepad.
That's not what all the PC version players wanting gamepad support on the PC version are saying. That's also not what Jay Wilson said:

"One of the reasons why weâ(TM)re exploring the idea of a console version of Diablo 3 because we feel that the controls and the style of the game lend itself to a console," he admitted. "With some of our early experiments in putting a direct control scheme into the game via a 360-like analogue controller, Iâ(TM)ve been âOh this feels even better, with direct controlâ¦'"
(War Thunder)Still looks like ass compared to the PC version.
That's not what Gaijin entertainment says

That's not even what the screenshots and video say.
