The extra stages are nice and all, but still don't make it a "better" port for me - in the same way the extra dungeons in the GBA port of FFVI don't make that version of the game superior.
That said, every console version of Lost Vikings is good. The only ports I would advise people to avoid are PC and Amiga (mainly due to awkward control schemes - though I suppose you could use Joy2Key) - a bit of a moot point, as I doubt anyone here would be inclined to play those versions anyway.
I finished it on the PC many years ago and I don't remember the controls being awkward...

I have a demo for the PC included with an Interplay compilation I got some years ago. I found it tough to play with the default controls. Certainly a game I would use Joy2Key for.
I'm sure this has been rehashed somewhere in this 50 page thread, but why? Even if you don't like the game, it is a landmark title that deserves to be experienced and discussed. You could even consider a Together Retro feature on Deus Ex as an opportunity to educate people about its failings.
If there's so much opposition to Deus Ex, would another Warren Spector first person RPG be preferable? System Shock? Ultima Underworld? Ultima Underworld would be a great choice since it beat Wolf 3D to the market with a fully 3D game engine.
I wish PSO was December this year and not January the next. I have 2 weeks off over the holidays with nothing to do, and I'm moving in January. I'll try to participate though. Not many chances to play this multiplayer anymore.
We are prepared to live in the plain and die in the plain!
Next year will be like the third year in a row I'll have nominated it.
