Hero-of-Time Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 We remember wasting many a 50 pence piece on The Simpsons Arcade Game in a pre-smoking ban pub back in the day, so the possibility of it coming back on the Xbox Live Arcade is something we'd relish enormously. According to a rating on the Australian Classification Board, The Simpsons Arcade Game might well be coming to XBLA/PSN. And like X-Men Arcade for XBLA/PSN before it, developer Backbone Entertainment will be handling the game, if the listing is anything to go by, meaning that the possibility of another perfect collaboration between Backbone and Konami could be on the cards. If Backbone can repeat the bang up job it did on X-Men Arcade, and this turns out to be kosher, then we could be looking at a port of one of our most fondly remembered arcade games. We'll have more info on The Simpsons Arcade Game when we get it. I so hope this is true. When XBLA got created I wished for two games. The first was the Turtles arcade game, which we now have and the second was this. Easily one of my favourite arcade games as a kid.
Dog-amoto Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 It hasn't aged well. I wish I hadn't replayed it recently.
ViPeR Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 I seriously hope this is true. I never bloody completed that game!
Jimbob Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Would be nice to play it again, it was a favourite of mine as well.
ViPeR Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 The old arcade market is something they should take more advantage of. There are plenty of games like this that would work well. Sunset Riders!

The Turtles Arcade game was so disappointing though :/ It got a new 'skin', and absolutely no other improvements whatsoever.
Emerald Emblem Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Do want! I loved it to bits, it holds many cherished childhood memories for me.

Sunset Riders! I'm sure that was scheduled to arrive with the Game Room add on for XBLA but the thing was a bust and it stopped getting supported.
killer kirby Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 The Turtles Arcade game was so disappointing though :/ It got a new 'skin', and absolutely no other improvements whatsoever. Not to mention the music, I could not believe they got rid of the kick ass music that was in the original to some average crap they now have >_>
Dog-amoto Posted November 11, 2011 Posted November 11, 2011 They did that with Crazy Taxi too. Hate The Offspring, but the soundtrack was sorely missed in the XBLA version
