Good for nostalgia but...

This game brings back a lot of memories from my childhood...I loved playing this back in the 80s at the arcade, so of course I jumped at the chance to buy this...I am some what disappointed. First, the lack of widescreen makes this an awkward affair to say the least. I have pretty small hands and it still feels cramped!

Secondly, you have to go un-defeated to beat the game...Really? This game is difficult enough, let alone having to go un-defeated to beat it. How is this supposed to be fun?

Third, and the most egregious, is the horrible control scheme. I know that its on a touch device but these controls are tepid at best. At least allow the option for button presses to simplify the process on an iDevice (a la Street Fighter IV).

Finally, if I am going to have to play with a cramped screen and terrible controls then the least you could do as a developer is implement GameCenter achievements.

I know this is a rant but I really loved this game when I was a kid! I suppose I could acclimate to the controls with time but the other stuff I mentioned really needs to be implemented for this to be a four to five star quality app.
