This has been as low as $150 at Dell… $199 on Walmart… $199 at Sam's Club… $299 has been the regular price via VIP Outlet up until a few weeks ago.

The emulation isn't great… washed out marquee… and Homer's controls are way too narrow to play.


For reference

Highly inaccurate. This includes the stool and tin sign. You're comparing used items and gift card returns and none of which had the accessories.

Also, the game plays great. Arcade1up peeps look for anything minuscule to find online so they can regurgitate the hatred. I never understand why some people are stuck on trashing them but can't move on with their lives.
The location of the Homer controls are actually terrible. They're basically above the joystick.

That said, this cab is easily modded to run the 4 player TMNT game, which is really cool to have, but the game selection is very very limited.

This is our favorite machine. The emulation is great; you have to update the Simpsons arcade. The mods make it worth more than $300. And there's more mods in the making being released soon! I would definitely buy 1 if I didn't have one at this price with free shipping and the stool? The stool and riser sells for over $100 each!

Here is a YouTuber with 2Million subscribers who posted a youtube review with 140k views YESTERDAY citing this specific Simpsons cabinet… criticizing its cheap controls, marquee, and poor emulation. He is an owner of this cabinet as well:

Will wait for your response…

Which mods are you going to play on this with two buttons for controls besides tmnt? And most people could care less about a stool and Tin sign… it's just a justification to pay more money that has nothing to do with the cabinet

Just get an ALU multicade for $299 and you'll have every game you want on a decently built arcade with decent controls

I have this and would agree. the controls aren't the best and the homer spot is terribly placed not even including the location of the trackball makes adding extra buttons that much harder. I'm probably going to have to buy a replacement deck with a sane button layout and run a pc based emulator inside of it. Given the extra effort/money to make it actually better, why would one want to spend more for a stool and a sign when ones without the addons can be had cheaper.

Yes the soft hacks let you run a few more games, but still doesnt change the fact it's not an ideal cabinet

All that said, the kids love button smashing thru the game itself

Agreed. I'm not trying to tell people how to spend their money. But I thought it would be helpful for people to know that less than 6-months ago this has been $150-$199 with a stool and tin sign + free shipping.

These other guys are getting defensive for me trying to help others out for whatever reason.
