There's that Tengen game on NES too. Rented that a few times as well.

Rented A Dog's Life and was able to beat it in a rental. I only remember one hang-up in the game which required you to hold down and jump or something that seemed a tad bit obtuse to breeze through it.

This game is a guilty pleasure of mine. It's mostly nostalgia, the game isn't even horrible, it's just extremely mediocre.
It has some bullshit and rage inducing moments in the toy level though.

I also kind of unironically like the level music, all 2 tracks of it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=buosc4uK3sU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wodCloEJdgs

The organ sounds very thin and shitty but somehow it adds a certain bizarre, b-rate charm to it, and I actually dig some of the melodies and chord progressions there.
For example in "Jumping Mouse" I like the part that starts at 0:37, I like the sudden change of piece and the sort of intricate, baroque melody played by the organ and bass.
Note that both tracks only have 2 sounds, the organ and the bass, it has no percussion or any other sound. The 2nd track manages to create a sort of creepy atmosphere, love the bassline on that too.

Yes something very strange how such awful games are ingrained in our psyche. I only rented this game once. My parents used /tv/ and video games as babysitter for me & despite the awfulness there is also nostalgia.
