I myself prefer the joystick on the right and the fire button on the left. That is the way I played in the arcade in the early '80s. I was very unhappy when the machines switched over to left the left handed joystick configuration in the late '80s. I never liked that configuration and still don't.

I adapted to these, so when I played Galaga on the arcade machine, it was inpossible for me since I'm right handed! Good review.

I remember most of the early games in the arcades had the fire button(s) on the left and the joystick on the right. The only games that had the joystick on the left were one from Nintendo. It wasn't until the late '80s and early '90s that the left handed joystick started to dominate.
Personally, I always preferred controlling the joystick with my right hand. I am right handed, and as such I have more strength and dexterity to control the character with when I use my right hand.

pacman FTW
I have the North American version of this game, and I notice that the music on your game plays noticeably slower than the music does on mine. This may be because household current here runs at 60 Hz as opposed to 50 Hz in Europe, affecting the clock speed.
I got complaints from Europeans on a video I did with music from a game claiming that the music was too fast, although that was the speed I recorded it at.

You're right. Over in Japan and NA you have the NTSC standard (30 frames per second, 60hz and less resolution). Here in Europe we have PAL (Better resolution but only 25 frames a second and 50Hz). What this usually meant was most console games (up until some 32-bit/64-bit games) ran slower and had borders due to lazy PAL standard programming.
