Arcade: Too hard. 2600: Too easy. Never found: Just right.

Rather endearingly obnoxious, what with the noises, and the teency hitboxes, and the odd take on inertia, and the temptation of going for the bonus points for the fool's errand of trying to save those little guys. Ports sometimes struggle to get the hectic magic of it all.
