It looks pretty neat on the TV. The underlying library is actually
fairly well written - with the code that handles the low level stuff
(sync, turning colour on and off etc) separate from the bit that draws
lines and characters - so you could use it to generate sync pulses
while you could take control of the drawing yourself during the frame
and make patterns.
I got these Arduino connections from the schematic:
9: Vsync (see http://code.google.com/p/arduino-tvout/)
7: Video
12: gnd (for PAL, leave disconnected for NTSC)
3: left button
2: right button
4: up button
5: down button
10: fire button

I remember it being easy, but I'm fairly experienced with AVRs. I played it by poking wires in the Arduino's pin headers. It looks like the Wii Nunchucks work with it (they can be found for under $5 online), but with some work most pre-Playstation era joysticks are fairly straightforward to get working with microcontrollers.
The games page has the files you need. Getting them to work with Arduino 1.0 or later might be a bit fiddly, so maybe look for Arduino version 0023.
By the way, the TV-Out library this uses is pretty well written, and might be worth looking at if you need some visual output from your Arduino. Most of the CPU time will be spend drawing the picture though!
