It gets worse when you realize old arcade systems had user manuals that described how to make the most money off of an average user by adjusting the difficulty via dipswitches. The game could be brutally punishing if specific arcades wanted the money that badly off a popular game...or it could be adjusted to a level of difficulty more similar to the SNES title. It really depended on the arcade back in the day. These days if you find the game in "free play" arcades you might not find it quite as challenging since it's technically not there to eat your quarters.
