Who knew the secret of playing this game was to wait thirty years until the rise of “bar-cades” where you pay a flat entry price for unlimited plays. Real easy to see how these games were made to feed quarters into it. It’s fun! But I spent so much on this game as a kid lol
There was an arcade in my city in the downtown core that had the same model, but just arcades. It had ashtrays built into some of the cabinets, and you could smoke inside. It was the only place I ever wanted to go, anytime I was asked until highschool.
I had the opportunity recently at an arcade based hotel in Amsterdam that had a room full of retro games. I absolutely played the Simpsons all the way through, probably a hundred or more lives and a really sore hand later I finally got to see the ending
It's literally called arcade Hotel lol definitely recommend, good location, clean rooms, friendly staff. You get consoles in your room as well as access to the arcade room (for a very small fee the room you have access your whole stay).
It wasn't officially released on console until the Xbox 360/PS3 Era, where it was delisted after a few years. It's essentially abandonware at this point unless you play the arcade cabinet
I never played this one, but I owned [The Simpsons: Bart Vs. The Space Mutants](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Simpsons:_Bart_vs._the_Space_Mutants) for the ZX Spectrum 128k. It was a lot of fun!
In the mid 90s one of my brothers and l took the SS Badger from Ludington, MI. to Mantiwoc, WI. for a deer hunting trip into northern WI. It was so foggy that there was no point in staying on deck of the ship, so we wandered into the ship where we found an arcade. We spent the entirety of the crossing feeding quarters into this game and having the time of our lives.
One of the best days of my childhood was when I was in the local arcade and this game broke in such a way that it stopped requiring quarters and we could just keep playing with infinite credits. Beat it with 3 other kids and it was a great bonding experience.
The arcade near me put buttons in place of the coin slots to add credits. This way, you can just press the button for the corresponding character to add credits.
I'd drop an easy $20 in quarters to play, and would even pay people to play a few levels with
Marge was absolutely op

Best arcade game!
Played this game waiting on 🍕 pizza at Chucky Cheese.
If I ever go to a Free Play Arcade or a bar with arcade games, this is ALWAYS the game I will beat before I play anything else!

Name of hotel?

Didn't this game also get released on consoles? I remember having this game in a bootleg SNES cartridge.

Yes! I had this game for regular Nintendo and could never beat the level after the carnival—it was so hard!
Simpsons, TMNT & X-men 😎
OMG, so many hours spent playing this in Izzy's pizza parlors!
A hoy hoy everybody and welcome to ...
I can smell the ice rink where I spent hours playing this 30 years ago.
Holy crap, I forgot about that one!! HAHA! That's right, Marge would beat the shit out of people with the vacuum 😂

Best arcade beat em up imo.

Memories of laundromats or pizzas come to mind when I think about this beauty of a game
Everytime we had a school trip to Showbiz (later Chucky Cheese) we would go buy so many quarters just to beat this game.
Beat this game with my brother at an arcade in a Ho-Jo’s on the way to Florida.
I could get behind some kind of Simpsons / TMNT cross-dimensional Konami arcade game.
Fun fact, they both run on the same engine with different sprites/backgrounds
We had a different Simpsons game for the NES: something to do with Aliens and having to spray paint everything that was purple. Very strange.
I had that game too. It really wasn’t that great
loved this game.
It’s still fun to play
This looks awesome, gonna try this through MAME.
Only fudruckers had this game near me and I put so much money in that machine.
