Ok. This is great. Now tell me, why so many games in the XL/XE era were so crappy that I preferred C64? Don't get me wrong I have a lot of sentiment to XL/XE (more to XL), but why...?! I know it was possible to get much more amazing effects on Atari XL/XE than most of the game developers achieved. Personally I think Polish programmers were very good at making XL/XE games looking good back in time. I'm sure there were other talented guys from other countries, but I don't know them.
Limiting software by RAM, is a C64 user's invention. Systems always were built firstly to have RAM/ROM expansions. Only the C64 did not take really advantage by additional RAM.
The Amstrad CPC conversion was exactly like the arcade graphics wise, and all the moves worked. This version has the C64 graphics and it seems like the C64 version only a few moves did anything!

Good conversion, proof the Atari 8-bits could more than compete with their nearest rivals. Great music also.

...provided the Atari in question has 320KB of RAM. :P

I take that back, looks basically the same as the c64, I guess the small video makes it look better.
And I just tried it. cleared it all on first try, same tricks that work in c64 work here, so a good conversion!
Still weird a c64 ran it fine with 64k, while the atari needs more memory..

Atari is the best version. "Still weird a c16 ran it fine with 16K, while C64 needs more memory"

Interesting to say the least, looks like better graphics than the c64 version.

@grazzt519: Nah, the C64 version looked much closer to the arcade original than this. The colours are all wrong in this version.
