Thank goodness, you can play with unlimited credits!! I never got to beat the original arcade game when I was little! Now, thanks to this version, you can beat the whole game in about an hour without spending a single extra coin! And that's pretty dope, if you asked me!!

Damn it feels like going back at being a little kid playing this game the first time. Great and fun arcade game. Art sprites and animations are gorgeous. Not a great port tho. Slowdown problem and SFX/BGM overlapping in many places, but still I really love the game. Oh yeah the campaign is only 30 - 40 mins long.
