==Ports== | ==Ports== | ||
A port is a game released and running natively on a different platform than the original game, with some minor changes such as new controls or new graphics to fit the new system. Compilations are considered as ports since they are globally compilations of ports. Usually, they are very close to the original game and share the same name, but downgrades may be applied to make the game work within the limitations of the console. A game released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] after its original release on [[Family Computer|Famicom]] is not a port, since the two consoles are considered identical. | A port is a game released and running natively on a different platform than the original game, with some minor changes such as new controls or new graphics to fit the new system.
