Oh wow.  My firend growing up and I were addicted to this game on the Apple 2c like it was crack.

But if the ROM has hte music and the arcade had the same ROM, why would there be no sound at the arcade?  Is there an admin switch to turn it off?

I've played a real one and the speed is the same, but the real PCB's I've played on, none had the background music.
Also, after the first couple boards, he speeds up, and eventually is VERY fast. This game is marathonable though, but not very many can do it. My friend I mentioned who has the record, did it in 1984, and played for almost 2 days!

Ugh.  Mine plays this fast too.  I guess I just suck.   :'(

RayB:
I dunno, the speed seems right. You have to plan ahead and also use a proper 4-way joystick.

I'm not sure why the arcade doesn't. I believe someone over at KLOV said they once saw one that had music. I've heard that the games without music were missing that ROM, but I have no idea. Like I mentioned earlier, make it a goal to get to wave 14...no more music :)
