The Commodore 64, also known as the C64 or the CBM 64, is an 8-bit home computer introduced in January 1982 by Commodore International. It has been listed in the Guinness World Records as the highest-selling single computer model of all time.

ColecoVision is a second-generation home video-game console developed by Coleco and launched in North America in August 1982. It was released a year later in Europe by CBS Electronics as the CBS ColecoVision. The console offered a closer experience to more powerful arcade video games compared to competitors such as the Atari 2600 and Atari 5200.

The Intellivision is a home video game console released by Mattel Electronics in 1979. The name Intellivision is a portmanteau of "intelligent television". Development of the console began in 1977, the same year as the introduction of its main competitor, the Atari 2600.

The TI-99/4 is a home computer released in late 1979 by Texas Instruments. Based on the Texas Instruments TMS9900 microprocessor originally used in minicomputers, it was the first 16-bit home computer. TI's own video display controller allows color graphics and among the best sprite support of its era.
11:25 NES/FAMICOM
I personally like the look of the Colecovision and TI-99/4A version, with it's water color like graphics, it makes the game look unique. But hands down the Arcade version has the best graphics being a much powerful system.
fun fact: Did you notice in stage 2, Wimpy is not present in all the ports(some clones are) surprisingly he isn't in the NES version as well 🤷♀️ Probably some licensing issue.
