I played the arcade machines so much I actually had calauses on my fingers of my left hand from the joystick friction. I had them for YEARS, my doctor even commented on them once. I played ALOT. To this day, I can't play well on anything except an arcade console, the muscle memory is so strong that I instinctively go for controls at the positions they are on an arcade machine. I have the simulator game for PC but I can't seem to break the old playin gstyle.

Pity its not on a real machine, must be hard as hell using a joypad for the controls...

I play this game on the playstation using the namco arcade stick. Plays like a dream. I overturned Defender 4 times back in the 80's.
