The Blast: Respecting its roots, “The Simpsons Arcade” is built to strike directly at your nostalgic bone and deliver on the classic arcade joy. However, expect to sink in more than a few quarters to relive these memories.
Pre-orders Open For Arcade1up's The Simpsons 4-player Arcade Machine. Better Secure One Before The Scalpers Beat You To It!
$699!
This is super cool but come on already. It’s an IKEA box with one game in a tablet.
I have the TMNT cabinet I wish Sega could get a license to bring out the Moonwalker cabinet I use to love playing that arcade game along with Willow from Capcom.
I would love to get the Afterburner and Outrun Moving Cabinets!
I'd pay 700 for those
Played this with two others recently using mame. It was hard going, and not just because of the difficulty - it's really repetitive and gets old fast. Only jump and hit, no other moves you can pull off. We just slogged through to the end because we'd started. Also bear in mind we had nostalgia on our side too.
It’s funny that the website is heypoorplayer, but they are telling you to hurry and secure your $699 overpriced emulator. This should be on heydisposablefundsplayer.
The Simpsons Arcade1up cabinet is the company's next four-player arcade machine. Pre-orders for this exciting cabinet will open on July 15.
Games Asylum: "...To this day the original Simpsons arcade game remains one of my fondest arcade memories, alongside Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Wrestlemania and various racing games with elaborate cabinets.
So just how rose tinted is my nostalgia? Is The Simpsons Arcade Game still as good as I remember today?"
No it isn't. Have it included in one of those arcade sticks with 1000 arcade games. the Xmen one holds up well, but the attacks just don't feel as good in the Simpsons one. Looks nice though.
Remember the limitations tech had back then, cavemen like me learned to stand upright just to play arcade machines, evolution baby.
Replayed it a few years back was a pretty nostalgic trip down memory lane but frustrating as all hell at the last few levels
