I don't know about best ever but it did more or less invent the twin stick shooter genre (aka Robotron). I think the only port of the arcade was to the Atari 5200. Of course, that control scheme wasn't really practical on a home console until at least the PlayStation. By then we had moved on to bigger and better things...according to some anyway. But yeah, no hype in that headline at all :).
