Moon Patrol was created by Irem and licensed to Williams for distribution in North America. This was fairly common for arcade games made in Japan at the time. This was one of the first games to introduce parallax scrolling, where the foreground and background move at two different speeds. It’s also a really fun game!
It was ported to everything just like most arcade games at the time. The Atari 2600 port does an okay job or recreating it in spirit, but the hardware just couldn’t do all the things the arcade game could from a graphics standpoint.
