I unironically still love this game, but the version they released on some of the “Advance” games (like Super Mario Advance) are better than the original because it has more modern controls.

But it actually holds up surprisingly well!

I love the illustrations of the different enemies!

Used to play this all the time on the arcade cabinet at the video store while my dad finished browsing

If anyone missed the machine dimensions at the bottom - this is an ad for arcade owners. (And bars and hotels and so on.) At one point they were the only direct customers for video game machines, and before that, pinball machines.

I loved this game! I was a little kid when this came out but I was amazed by it. I can’t remember if it was at an arcade or a Chuck E Cheese’s that I first saw it though…
