The Simpsons Arcade Game I used to play a lot at a local Chuck E. Cheese growing up. I also had the now delisted Xbox 360 port. Which I deeply enjoyed playing at the time. This was during the 90s when Konami was on a roll with licensed games. This was the original Simpsons game. Somehow it still holds up amazingly well. Also among the three best Simpsons games ever made. The soundtrack as well as the sound effects truly amazing. There's a few mini games that's a bit repetitive to a degree. You can play as most of the Simpsons family. There's a good variety within the stages. I do think a newer port of this Simpsons game would sell very well. There's a lot of people that never played the original Arcade classic. This is up there with their Arcade TMNT games respectively.

I remember playing this on DOS. Before I could even play, a Password needed to be inputted. I didn’t know the Password so I would try numerous times until I got the right one. Great Memories.

Played it on the XBox 360-but it was never given backwards compatibility. May be a tough license to get as The Simpson's are now Disney IP. Good luck GoG and I hope you can bring this great game here.

I used to love playing this game as a kid at my local bowling alley. Me and friends and other kids would all work together to try to beat the bosses. Awesome memories!
Very memorable and good looking game with some occasionally creepy aesthetics(and all the more memorable for it); many people, including me, grew up playing it, in my case it was the DOS version. Playing it co-op was extremely fun. It deserves to be on GOG.
I met a kid at a birthday party playing this game! I never saw him again (or played the game) but I remember the hours of fun. I would love to try it again. plz
Those games also need your vote!
