***IT'S TIME FOR ARCADE TALK*** Let me show you another one..

First off, I barely use it. It's BORING! But... I was such a huge Simpsons fan, and it brings up so much nostalgia...and it's pretty, hahaha! It has two games, the classic beat em up, and the Simpsons Bowling game. The Beat em up game is fine, but honestly, once you've beaten it once, why would you play again? I remember, as a kid, shoving quarters after quarters to beat it. When it's your machine? You press a button, and free credits appear. So it isn't as fun or challenging. But everyone is drawn to this machine with a sense of nostalgia. IT'S THE SIMPSONS! The bowling game? Love that it's the original voices of the show, and the quotes are just perfect for every character. However, even when playing the most brutal mode...it's easy to have a perfect game! Worst case, 10-11 strikes and 1-2 spares! Once again, very low replay value as you won't have to fight a long time to nail the perfect game. And when you play with friends? Everyone can almost nail a perfect one! Bottom line: If it was the same games but with any other characters, I wouldn't dare keeping this arcade in 1000 years. But it's the Simpsons...! It's my least played arcade, so it would probably be one of the first to go if I want a new machine and I don't have room for it. But, somehow, I would still hate not seeing it sitting around... ***Have you ever played the Simpsons Beat Em Up in the arcade before?***
