How different is the arcade game from the Flash/iOS/Android versions? Based on playing those I'd say they did better at nailing the technical limitations of the time and working around them in a period-accurate way than any of the current plague of "I can't afford an artist so I'm going to front like my shitty programmer art is retro" games that infest Steam/XBLA/PSN.

Further, I'd agree (again, from those versions) that if it were actually a 1982 game it'd likely be well known and have some big fans but still definitely be B-list.
