Fond memories of this game in school. I always got stuck playing as Marge.

I will wreck shit as Lisa.

Lisa or Bart. No exceptions.

I have a PS Plus subscription, and they're giving this away for free, so I'll get the PSN version.

not sure if online co-op has been confirmed, for 800MSP I would expect online.

I'm gonna have so many wicked flashbacks of jamming quarters into this shit in Knob Hill Farms. There was this stupid capsule machine with an animatronic monkey that advertised a ring watch. I wanted that ring watch SO BAD. Kinda glad I never got it because I now realize ring watches are distinguished mentally-challenged and I probably would've had my ass kicked mercilessly.

I would always beast as Homer, this was by far my favorite childhood arcade game. The sprite scaling was AMAZING. I remember the day I brought five dollars worth of quarters to the arcade in hopes of conquering it. I don't remember succeeding

The Sceneman · « **Reply #11 on:** February 02, 2012, 03:06:14 AM »

yeah it was probably my favourite childhood arcade game until Metal Slug came out. I pumped so many 20c pieces into this game

Cravis · « **Reply #12 on:** February 03, 2012, 09:12:48 AM »

Anyone picked this up yet?

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #13 on:** February 03, 2012, 11:46:20 AM »

Just tried it. It's Backbone phoning it in again, total bare-bones port. Interface looks like shit and the filtering is inconsistent. After the incredible ports of Final Fight you'd think they'd actually try.

Cravis · « **Reply #14 on:** February 03, 2012, 11:56:34 AM »

Ugh. I can't stand Backbone's half assed ports.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #15 on:** February 03, 2012, 12:02:52 PM »

I mean it plays fine, but you'd might as well just play it on fucking mame or something if you don't want to drop $10 for the multiplayer.

Mr. Gundam · « **Reply #16 on:** February 03, 2012, 12:48:00 PM »

Picking this up on Tuesday for PSN. I'm cool with a bare bones port, I just want to play the game with my wife.

Himu · « **Reply #17 on:** February 03, 2012, 01:07:39 PM »

This doesn't have online co-op?

I read that it has offline and online multiplayer.

Multiplayer is worth it alone. MAME is for losers who play by themselves. Who wants to play The Simpsons/XMEN/whatever by themselves.

Doesn't this have a limited quarters option in the multiplayer mode or is it only free play?

"- Four different ways to play the game. Relive your favorite game modes, including the original coin-op experience in "Quarters" mode, or enjoy "Survival" mode which challenges you to see how far you can get with only one life! And for those looking for a more casual experience, "Free Play" gives unlimited continues so you can enjoy the ride."
