And here’s the screenshot for the C64 version:

    I know this is not a popular take, but in my opinion The Simpsons Arcade wasn’t a very good game. I believe it’s purely a novelty product, it falls short when compared to almost any other well known beat’em up from the era.

      I would disagree. I think it really improved upon the gameplay that we saw in the first TMNT arcade game. You got combo attacks with the different characters, and you could pick up various items and weapons. It also had some really huge bosses that were kind of impressive at the time, and had some mini games between stages. There were also a lot of interesting things that happened within the stages.

      It’s very similar to a clickbait article. I mean, it worked because I clicked on it to see what people said, but man, that title is super corporate.

        No, a super corporate title would be “Analyzing the Platform Disparity: The Unconventional Release Trajectory of The Simpsons Arcade Game Across Home and Console Systems”

        Which you’d probably find less clickbait but would be absolutely perfect for aligning synergies.

        If your critique is that I tried to write an interesting title, guilty as charged. But who doesn’t try to be interesting?

        Thing is, this being Lemmy, there’s no incentive to click. Clickbait literally implies a reason to click. The pertinent thing worth seeing is already in your feed.
