    I was 13. Played this on an arcade. My mind was blown away. Didn't stop talking about the L power and F power for a day. It's a masterpiece.

      Same story with all of the contemporary NES arcade titles. They did a great job with the ports, but they had to make cuts in various areas - resolution, color depth, sound/music, overall sprite detail, etc. This was due to a number of factors, but the biggest were hardware limitations in the NES (especially by 1990), and limitations in ROM size.

      LOOKS better, but in terms of gameplay and balance, the NES version has it beat. Also, I played it first in the arcade and still find the NES version better. Also, the soundtrack didn't sound as tinny on the home version.

      @@TeranIcer The difficulty curve was also absurd at points, because it's trying to get you to spend quarters. You also had to be good to beat the NES version without cheats, and the difficulty was more balanced. I still say the NES version was a rare case of the home version being better.

      I’ve started playing it like that recently. I wanted to beat the game without dying but I would always die once at the end of stage 3 no matter which gun a had… so I wouldn’t get any of the special guns so I could get the barrier and was finally able to beat the game without dying. I can beat the game now without dying and without the barrier but it’s only 50% of the time.
