What is a Konami arcade beat-em-up if it wasn't full of unfair mechanics and a very VERY passive understanding of the source material? The Simpsons arcade game is enjoyable at times for its punchy sound-effects and goofy presentation drizzled with references/homages to the original show (they mostly only had the 1st season to work with).

As a beat-em-up, though, it's not that great, as it's egregious how much they make sure the enemies can suck lives/quarters out of you.

PS3/360 versions are cool, though. They included the Japanese versions, which was actually a little more helpful for the player as it included more items for you to use.
