Weak keep. 1980s video games often are more thoroughly sources in print media than in content currently searchable online. The reliability of the International Arcade Museum's
Killer List of Video Games is debatable, but this has an
entry there.
This German-language book mentions it at least briefly, as does
this Russian book about video game sound effects. I'm not really qualified to evaluate either work. Beyond that, additional coverage in Coin Slot Magazine (for the arcade version) and any of several periodicals covering NES gaming seems plausible.

Keep: I fixed the mobygames link to the page, added the arcade cabinet manual (on archive.org), and I was able to find a few sources of varying quality online if someone would like to put it into the page: Reviews:

Source reliability check—Source 1, Atari Times, is
patently unreliable, user-submitted. Source 2, The Video Game Critic, is self-published and
hasbeen deemed unreliable. Source 3, Honestgamers, is similarly
part-time and has
no fact-checking editorial policy. Source 4 is an official listing for a print magazine, so okay. And Source 5, a Gamasutra feature, is
of course okay, though the subject only has a blurb. czar⨹ 04:10, 26 March 2015 (UTC)reply
keep-I actually use to own a copy I found but since it didn't work...anyway it is notable even if obscure.

Keep. Harder to find sources for games of this age, but
there are plenty of reviews (via Amiga mag rack) for the C64/Amiga ports of the game. More than enough there in those print sources to suffice for the
general notability guideline and to build suitable gameplay and reception sections. czar⨹ 04:10, 26 March 2015 (UTC)reply
