That's the point of this thread though - although it doesn't look technically anything special to you, certain things would have to be dropped, changed or tricks used to make it a close copy of the arcade. This isn't the easiest game to make a perfect port of due to the 2 layers and quite a bit of stuff moving so it's interesting to hear what other programmers would do.

Ported easily yes, after all the 8 bit machines have a version. But to make it really close to the arcade isn't quite so easy.

That indeed looks like the arcade game.
There's still a lot of other technical people on here that haven't posted yet, so maybe they would come up with a different approach. I'm thinking Stingray, Galahad, Girv, Mrs Beanbag, MethodGit etc
