This has got to be the best arcade game of all times. I came across this arcade table-top game in a local DQ years again and it got me back into the Atari home gaming scene. Be sure to check out the 8-bit version also. Both are very faithful adaptations of the arcade game. This game is still very popular on new gaming systems, including Pocket PC's.
