The Simpsons Arcade Game

popular arcade side-scrolling beat 'em up

The Simpsons Arcade Game is a side-scrolling beat ‘em up video game developed and published by Konami for arcades.  Based on the television animated series The Simpsons, the game was released in North American arcades on March 4, 1991 midway through the second season of the television show.
