The Simpsons is a beat 'em up arcade game from the early 90's. It has the distinction of being known both as one of the best Simpsons games ever made as well as one of the best beat 'em ups. To be clear, this reputation is well-earned. The Simpsons features 4 player fun in a game world that closely mirrors the world of the famous TV show. I have really fond memories as a kid of gravitating immediately towards this game in any arcade my parents took me to. This was probably my favorite game for a while since it was always instant fun, especially when playing with friends (or even random strangers in the arcade). Also, how could I not want to play as a skateboarding Bart Simpson making all those goons eat my shorts!?! I recently re-visited this game and still loved it overall, but noticed that the short game length and overly simple controls do stand out as flaws in the modern era. Still, it's a game everybody should try and play for some quick, casual fun!
