It was released on the NES as well ('87), though 2 years after the famicom release ('85), which was 2 years after the original arcade ('83). By 1987 it was already pretty lame. The repetitive music and gameplay will drive you crazy.
As far as rating it as an arcade port the audio is ok and the graphics are similar enough just lower in color. I'm not so sure how accurate it is in enemy behavior to the arcade as I've hit the NES more than the real thing. I think it's a pretty fun game, but as 'KD' there above said it was dated by the time it came out in the states. I have a copy and still pull it out now and again as it can be pretty fun, but I really think given then and now I'd probably rate it around a 7/10. 7/10 -- Good for fans of the arcade game, ok if you're not, probably a mixed bag on a borrow or buy depending how you feel.
