The reissue maintains the original 1983 gameplay, with direct controls for executing holds and team attacks. On current consoles, the game runs at a stable 60 fps, with CRT filter options and screen adjustments. The Arcade Archives 2 version includes additional modes such as quick save and replays. There are no changes to the physics engine or artificial intelligence, which remains as unpredictable as in the arcades.
