Martinov, I think the answers you are looking for are:
1.The port uses a poor filter for displaying the graphics. This looks particularly horrible on monitors from what I understand. Personally, on my old skool CRT television (in TATE) this game looks fine. I repeat: fine.
2.The loading time is a bit long, then upon the title screen being loaded you press start and the game loads again to an option screen which is a little annoying for some people.
3.The slowdown is not accurate when compared to the PCB. I think the general consensus is that in sprite heavy areas (like the giant bug in stage 3) the game slows down a lot more than the PCB but then in others not as much.
4.Pausing and then unpausing the game makes the music start from the beginning again (which is pretty shoddy IMO).
These are the main things I've noticed but there may be some more others have picked up on.
Frankly my advice is to pick up the PS2 port, as far as I am concerned none of the above problems stop this from being a playable and extremely fun game. Especially as it is now available as a Taito 'Best' version.
