I just checked out the screenshots of this game and was surprised by how well they pulled it off given the obvious limitations. What's funny though, is that the box apparently said "NO QUARTERS REQUIRED," suggesting that you were getting the arcade experience, which is obviously a joke. One last thing: as you mentioned, there was 2-player simultaneous action available here... which REALLY shames the NES version.

Ha ha, yeah, even the Atari 2600 would get 2 players to duke it out while the NES you had to wait until your friend died like some 1 player games on the system. And you are right, the graphics are pretty well done for said title on Atari but unfortunately it would be the only positive thing besides two players simultaneously that it featured.
