The Simpsons Arcade Game is in my book one of the most popular games of the late 1980's. I used to play the arcade version in a restruant until they sold it. So I came here and played it at my own pleasure.
Graphics are what give the game it's pizzaz. (The regular enemies of the game remind me of Connan O' Brian!) The voicing of characters could use some fixing, as Mr. Smithers and Mr. Burns do not sound like themselves.
The plot of the game is as exciting as is sweet: Smithers is robbing a bank and bumps into Homer SImspon, who was walking by that same moment. Smithers dropps the diamond and Maggie catches it and susks on it (thinking it's a pacifier). Rather than just take the diamond, Smithers kidnapps Maggie and the diamond, forcing the family to go after him to rescue their youngest family member.
The enemies of the game are also unigue and hard to beat. The following list contains the easiest (1) boss to the hardest(10):
1)Bear
2)Gangsters
3)Smithers
4)Japanese Man
5)1st level boss
6)Krusty Balloon
7)Alien Machine
9)Drunken Man
10)Mr. Burns
Another fantastic feature of the game is the unique fighting moves for each character: Homer Punches and Kicks, Marge uses her Vacuum-Cleaner, Lisa uses a jump rope (using it like a whip), and Bart uses his skateboard. This game marks the first time beat-em-ups features characters with seperate moves.
Last, but not least, in this reveiw, the levels. All levels in the game deserve praise and are excellent stages. The lst level takes place in Downtown Springfield, the second in Krusty Land, the third in the Springfield Discount Cemetery, the fourth in Moe's Tavern (where you can see the game itself featured somewhere in the level), the fifth in the Springfield Bute, the sixth (and the weirdest level in the game) in a dreamworld, the seventh in Channel Six News station, and the last is Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. All in all one word about the entire game: awesome!!!
