The Simpsons Arcade Game for PC Playthrough Level 1

A great port of an awesome game, even though it doesn't the 4 player option, and you can't do the teamups like you could in the arcade. Still a lot of fun and really hard. And yes, I'm well aware that I really suck at this game. :) Check out my review of it and more stuff at http://www.wastedseconds.com

i wanna play it so badly

@vanamutt43 Just type "The Simpsons abandonware" or something into Google. It's not hard to find. But honestly you're better off just emulating the arcade version. Again, Google is your friend in that regard. :)

You should really try mame...

[Dhalamar]

@rob08242010 I'm very much aware of the existence of MAME ... have been since the mid 90's. But thanks for the suggestion. :)

I play the arcade version of this on my modded Xbox all the time, great to see it on the big TV. hehe

[rob08242010]

@Dhalamar Ah, well I think mame is the better option. to me the modded x box version looks even more retro than the actual thing. one other thing, is this game even 4 player on the xbox version or is it a 1 player let down like the one on iphone where it only lets you use homer?

[Dhalamar]

@rob08242010 This is a 2 player port of the arcade version. Unfortunately, there isn't a 4 player option, and the teamup attacks are gone. But other than that it's a fairly decent arcade port.

And the iPhone Simpsons game with Homer isn't even this game. It's something completely different, and was actually originally on the old BREW style phones (with the little bullshit Java games) and was ported/enchanced (somewhat) for the iPhone.

@rob08242010 And, actually, the iPhone Simpsons game is actually halfway decent so long as you treat it as it's own game and don't try to compare it to the much MUCH better arcade cab. :)

@Ketorulz You read my mind! GO KONAMI! GO! :D

[Ketorulz]

@huskobon2 Now all we need is Aliens and Sunset Riders!

God, it's great to have this from the PSN. The Arcade classic lives again!

Just brought this through the XBL Marketplace. My four year old twin boys loves it! They have finished it about 4 times now!

@Gary20O That's awesome!

[Gary20O]

@weirdproq1 The arcade version is coming to XBLA on Feb 3rd. Tomorrow. :)

Nice! Thanks for sharing- I had heard about this port years ago but never saw it in action until just now. Looks surprisingly competent, especially compared to other stuff on old DOS machines.

@Dhalamar "little bullshit Java games"

LOL, he doesn't know!

[TheVideoGunner]

The arcade is confirmed for XBLA actually. Check xbox360achievements (dot) org

[weirdproq1]

This is a pretty good port of the arcade game, I just wish it was ported to home consoles or would be ported to the XBLA or something. There is a Commodore 64 version of this game but it's not as good.
