    Default Simpsons Arcade game port?

    Was the Simpsons beat 'em up arcade game ported to any console systems? I really enjoyed playing it as a kid at the Skaterena in my home town. Just lookin for a trip down memory lane.

    Later,
    Chrome...

    Actually, it was on the C64 too. But cut-down as the PC port was, the C64 version is probably not a better bet.

    The story goes that Acclaim had exclusive rights to console games based on The Simpsons at the time, and I guess Konami couldn't work out a deal with them. Not that the game would have worked all that well on the NES anyway.

    I'm shocked that this game has never been ported over to one of the modern consoles. It would be cheap to do and sell like hotcakes.

    Frankly, because there is no home option and the PC version hasn't been sold in over a decade, I reccomend MAME.

    I feel that emulation should be an option if legal means are elusive.

    It wouldn't sell, it's a way overrated cookie cutter Konami BMU. Not worth its own disc in this day and age, but you might find it hidden on some other Simpsons game / collection someday.
    Selling collection, Atari through XBox. Send a PM with whatever games you're looking for.
