History VideoGame / TheSimpsons

* DuelBoss

* MostAnnoyingSound: You will hear Burns's "Excellent" every time you're hit by him. Which will be often, unless you're skilled.

** Shout Out: The Fat Mooks choke you, which causes your character to take on an expression similar to Bart's when he's being choked by Homer. Which is humorously ironic if you're playing as Homer...

* Smashing Survival: When you get grabbed by one of the mooks, the game says "Wiggle Joystick! Push Buttons!" which is required to break free. Or one of your teammates can save you.

* ImprovisedWeapon: Marge's vacuum and Bart's skateboard count, since they're the respective default weapons (but aren't typically designed for fighting). Grabbing a hammer or a slingshot is the reverse, however.

* HumiliationConga: Mr. Burns. All his presumably-hired mooks and bosses were defeated, his presumably-very expensive battle machine was destroyed, he didn't get the diamond he had sent Smithers out to steal in the first place, and, as the icing on the cake, after losing, he gets a baby pacifier stuck in his mouth. Not a good day for Mr. Burns.

* LastDitchMove: Dreamland's bowling ball boss explodes into a flurry of smaller balls upon being defeated. It's completely unavoidable.

* StockSoundEffects: Bosses recycle several sound/voice clips. The bowling ball makes the same groan as the wrestler, and Mr. Burns says the same "Where do ya think YOU'RE goin'? as the two suited men in stage 3.

It was ported to the {{Commodore 64}} and as a {{DOS}} title, but due to obvious technical limitations, they couldn’t live up to their bigger brother. Thanks to MAME technology, the game can be emulated in all its original glory on computers. With the exception of MAME, though, there has yet to be an arcade-perfect port of this game...until now. The Australian ratings board slapped on a rating in November 2011 for this game, and not for nothing, an HD version of the game will be released as a downloadable title for XBoxLiveArcade and PlaystationNetwork in early February 2012, just ahead of the [[MilestoneCelebration 500th episode]] of the series.

*** Also Patty and Selma, Abe, Terri and Sherri, Skinner, Martin, Otto, Howard (from the episode "Moaning Lisa") and even Sideshow Bob make small cameos throughout the game.

* DifficultyByRegion: Initially released in Japan, it was made a little harder when brought to America after complaints about the game being too easy. For instance, the American version [[{{Bowdlerise}} removes a nuclear bomb that instantly ko’s all on-screen]] {{mook}}s. You also can jump while holding picked-up items in the American version.

Such is the plot of this [[LicensedGame licensed]] arcade {{beat em up}} released in 1991 by {{Konami}}, based on ''TheSimpsons''.

The gameplay engine derived from ''[[VideoGame/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesTheArcadeGame Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' (another game by the same company). Up to four people can play, assuming the roles of Homer (who uses {{good old fisticuffs}}), Marge (who swings her vacuum cleaner), Bart (who swings his trademark skateboard) and Lisa (who whips enemies with her jump rope). Two players could perform team up attacks on enemies, a feature introduced in this game. In addition, the four playable Simpsons are voiced by their respective voice actors from the series, providing quips and general observations.

Despite being well-received, there has yet to be an arcade-perfect port of this game.

Though thanks to MAME technology, the game can be emulated in all its original glory on computers. This could change however as the Australian ratings board recently slapped on a rating a couple months ago for this game, so perhaps a port is on the way for the DLC market?

* TheOtherDarrin: Subverted, all the voices for the titular Simpson family are here, Burns and Smithers on the other have new voices.
