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.
I don't have to prove I'm refined - that's what makes me refined!
