The Simpsons Arcade Game Review and Personal Experience

     The Simpsons is one of the most iconic animated television shows ever created. It’s been on air since 1989 and hasn't declined in popularity. Being out so long there are bound to be video games made based on the series. One of these games is the Simpsons arcade game. The game is seen as a classic and is still played to this day. 

         I first played the Simpsons arcade game at in the Swing, a local arcade that sadly closed down two years ago. I must have spent at least 100 dollars on that machine. It was simply amazing.

          The gameplay like most arcade games is simple but fun. It’s a simple beat em up style game. In the game you can fight several different enemies ranging from clowns, to government agents. You can choose to play as Bart, marge, homer, or Lisa. This gives the game a little more variety because all the characters play differently. To fight Homer uses his fists, Bart uses a skateboard, Marge uses a vacuum, and Lisa uses her saxophone. I personally loved playing as Bart because of hs skateboard. Instead of just walking around he rides the skateboard to get around. You can watch some game play here.

          All in all, this game is one of the greatest arcade classics ever and if you happen to see it in an arcade it is totally worth your quarter.
