Post by: Ronald Reagan on June 17, 2010, 08:22:51 PM

Today I received a package from the US. I bought something on Ebay:

Since I am a great Simpsons fan and owner of the 4 player cab, I just had to buy this one:

It's the original Simpsons Noiseland Arcade Playset feat. Jimbo Jones!
It's a small size version of the arcade in the cartoon.

backside of the box with all different kinds of Simpsons town settings

always watch out for bully's in the arcade

and it's interactive, Jimbo talks if you press his back

The Noiseland Arcade hosts 3 cabinets: Larry the Looter, Slugfest and Nuke Canada (a trackball game which Mark Alpiger claims to have the high score on, playing with his foot that is)

In the Simpsons Arcade Game (and in the tv-series), the Noiseland Arcade makes an appearance too.

Inside Moe's Tavern there is an Aliens and Simpsons cabinet

I like the Simpsons Pinball from 1990 a lot. It has the oldschool fresh Simpsons characters on it. I would like to buy it one day. Last month I saw it on Marktplaats for 750euro and that was really tempting
The Simpsons Bowling also seems cool


The Simpsons Cooky Carnival is what seems to be a ball rolling game which you can play on funfares

sorry, it was the simpsons bowling. didn't want to ruin your day though, but it would be nice if everyone who's looking for something would put a tiny signature underneath his posts, this way we would all be "warned" of something showed up ...

haha that's alright, I was just joking about that.

I have never seen a Simpsons Bowling in real life. Nice to know they are around in Germany

Today I received another package
I won it on Ebay. It's Pauline fronting in front of a DK Cab.

frontside/backside

When I opened up the box and got a look at the Collectable Figure, I was a bit dissapointed though
It is really small, and the cabinet is projected in an angle, which means the cab's bottom is more like a triangle than a square bottom.

Anyhow, it's a fun toy to have
