===Console ports of PC games===
Since game consoles are much less powerful than PCs, it is recommended to avoid PC games ported to consoles. Typically the games have to be altered to fit the constraints of the console and may be forced to use a radically different control scheme. An exception to this rule would be Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine's N64 port, and the console versions of certain Disney games like ''Cars 2'' and ''Toy Story 3''. In the latter case, the PC versions suffer from downgraded graphics as a consequence of having to account for lower-end systems used by most families. Certain console ports of the PC games, however, may feature exclusive content like completely different soundtracks or extra missions. A notable example is the [https://nolf.fandom.com/wiki/The_Operative:_No_One_Lives_Forever#PlayStation_2_Edition flashback mission] in ''No One Lives Forever'', which is only available for the PS2 version of the game.

|The GameCube version has audio glitches when moving between areas in Clock Town, framerate issues, and random crashes. The 3DS version features enhancements similar to those in Ocarina of Time 3D, as well as manual camera control when played on a New Nintendo 3DS, missing some rumble features.
