If this version counts, it definetly is among them. I can beat both rounds on NES without dying once, but the arcade version will kick my ass any day.

>Less extra armor spawning
>Extra lives only attainable through high score
>Red Areemers actively avoid your projectiles, making them extremely hard to hit, the reverse jump-fire backwards tactic is much less viable. Forces you to bait them if possible, and always keep an eye out for their movement for an opening to attack
>Smaller enemies are faster and spawns more frequently, making them harder to avoid and kill
>Projectiles are often faster and bigger, making them harder to avoid
>Bosses are generally more agressive towards you, rather than following specific, braindead patterns and letting you blow your load right in their faces
>Eyeball platforms on level 4 will knock you off
>Level 5 have Forest Ghosts and Blue Demons spawning all throughout the level, rather than just the basement
>The Satan boss attacks are near undodgeable, changing the fight completely
>2 Cyclops/Unicorns at start of level 6, not one.
