Another cab arrived at my house today
« on: June 26, 2012, 06:35:38 PM »
2 days ago it was the rare Western Gun for Alpha1 and this time it's one of the biggest 90's classics



The cab was bought by Ronald Reagan, he also owns a non working one, which will go to me, thanks buddy!  :D :D :)
I used to see this game all the time and enjoyed it a lot, what made it extra special was that it didn't get ported to any home consoles.
Here is the Dutch flyer:



The cab is in good condition, the seller said the monitor was bad but luckily for Ronald Reagan it was just out of focus.  :D
The only big issue is the CPO, that one needs to be replaced.  :( Does anybody know a good source for European Simpsons CPO's?

Just to make clear, this is ronald reagan's game.  :D

He gave his non working one to me, that it's still stored in my basement. Here's is a picture of it:

I tried to buy it from the seller during my "operation thunderbolt" roadtrip but he wouldn't let it go.
I spent a lot of coins in that one when it was released, it might be one of the very last arcade I heavily played.
It's a cab that's bringing people together and it has a good humor too... hey it's the simpsons!
Good catch my friend...  :arrow: Eurocade 2012?

There's a Simpsons cabinet like this one in an arcade in Great Yarmouth, UK. I've never played it though.
I enjoy reading about arcade cabinets. I don't own one though... :(

Just watched a longplay of the arcade game on YouTube and it seems to be a great game (I especially like that they included parts of the series intro).

yes the game is awesome. In the first level you walk pass an Arcade with a poster on the window NEW Simpsons Game! These kinds of things, I really like.
I am really content with this machine and game, and will try to play my other 4 player games like Spiderman/X-Men/Avengers and Asterix on it

It's a nice one for Eurocade also
