The Good
Ok, they made technically good PC port of actually very good, almost iconic Arcade game.
The Bad
This game is not suitable for porting to personal computers. On Arcade, it was played with 2 tough joysticks where you were able to move with them like crazy. On PC, forget. You can use either keyboard or only one joystick. If you survive with keyboard control for more than several dozens of seconds, probably you have some inhuman abilities (you control with one hand walking into 8 directions with one set of keys, and independently with other hand another 8 keys for fire direction). With joystick/controller it's a bit better (however you can't independently control walk/fire directions like in original Arcade, but at least you survive longer compared to crazy keyboard controls).
The Bottom Line
Game was perfect on Arcade machines, but it's not suitable for PC. There are better arcade titles available on PC from the same year.
