  • Video games I beat today.

    Hey everyone!

    Just beat The Simpsons Arcade and X-Men Arcade games from the early 90s on my multicade cabinet while eating nachos. Next step to round out the retro experience is to brag about it on a BBS echo, real nostalgia.

    Simpsons: It was weird to see "Life in hell" characters in the game, just shows how early into Matt Groening's Simpsons career the game was. The strip wasn't very popular and is virtually unknown today.
    X-Men: Was fun but this shit was downright criminal about the way it would eat quarters, seems many of the bosses are designed to beaten mostly with your special moves which you only get a few of otherwise they're nearly impossible to hit. Think of all the kids who spent like their whole allowance on this running out of money.

    Well anyhow I don't know how these offline mail readers work never used them when I was into BBSing but figured since I'm an old man I should do it the big boy way. Hopefully this works.

    Having been in college as the Simpsons got started, I can vouch for "Life
    in Hell" being popular amongst college students around that same time, and
    I still remember it. :)

    Is that Simpson game the one in which Bart falls asleep doing his homework, and the
    levels are Bart trying to beat challenges while he is dreaming?

    Jeez man I know this is a year old now. I don't think that's the plot but there was a psychadelic dream level but it was just one level.
    It had doughnuts and shit you had to fight. Actually lots of early simpsons imagary that I nearly even forgot was a thing.

    There was a game that fits that description called Barts Nightmare. He had
    to go around a world of dreams collecting his homework, which had been blown out his window. It was a game by Flying Edge, so a players enjoyment may have varied. I found Flying Edge games, for the most part, designed badly which
    made them more difficult than they should've been.
