    This is more of a nostalgic piece that will look great in the game room. The Simpsons arcade game is just as I remembered it. The added bowling game is a little rough around the edges but it does the bowling aspect pretty well-once u get use to the trackball. The cabinet LOOKS good but there were shortcuts made. The cabinet marque is basically a giant sticker and some areas u can see it lifting off the wood. The plexiglass on the controller board leaves large gaps, so over time dirt and dust will collect in these areas. The speaker is also a bit lackluster. That being said, at $700 this arcade is overpriced. I got it at $300 and it more aligned to the quality of materials. The stool is a nice bonus.

    If your a Simpson's fan, then this is a must have! I would not pay the original full price for it, but this price is a steal! You get the game & the riser so its arcade size and a great stool with the simpsons on it. The stool is definitely sturdy I was worried, but once it was assembled it turn out to be a very nice stool to use when playing or you can just use it as stool for anything else to. The bowling game is fun to! You get 2 games.

    Loving it!! Me and my fiancé have been playing it everyday! Honestly we've been super enjoying the surprise inclusion of bowling and been playing that even more than the main game we bought this for. 10/10 loved it, 3 hours to put together. Worth it

    This brings back so many memories playing with my cousins back in the days. Light up marque looks really sharp! Screen is very clear, controls work great. Cabinet was easy to put together, the art is nice looking. Came with a chair too, perfect height with the rise. Definitely recommend getting it with the riser, machine is too low without it. If you the Simpsons and/or arcade machines, definitely get this one to add your collection. Cabinet is great size, not official size as like the arcade, but perfect to play at home with multiple players and permits you to maximize your room real estate. Don't have a cow man, get this arcade machine!

    Game works great! Some earlier editions didn’t run that well but I heard it was mainly due to an update. Since the cabinet has built in WiFi it immediately updated out of the box. The fact that it comes with the riser, stool and extra bowling game (that I had never played) was an awesome added bonus. I did wait for the item to be on sale, so I got it for around 400. Great buy in my opinion and an added nostalgia to my collection. Highly recommend

    Excellent arcade cabinet with bonus items. Joysticks and buttons are pretty decent for replica cabinet. It is 3/4 size of the ones from the arcade, but with the riser it feels comfortable like the real deal. The screen size is larger than you think when reading the specs, its the right size for this cab I found. Overall this Simpsons Cab is a nice addition to your cave/den.

    I am old enough to remember when this game first arrived in arcades and I couldn’t even count how many quarters I sank into it over the years! We’re slowly building a game room in our garage and when this came up on a flash sale I had to grab it! Overall, the cabinet looks great as does the video. The joysticks do feel a little fragile, so we’ll have to keep an eye on it during the more high-energy play-throughs.

    This arcade was definitely the best gift my fiancé has ever gotten. Easy to put together. The nostalgia is full on and it’s compact frame makes it easier to incorporate in the house than a full size arcade.

    This is a good solid unit. It only has 2 games, but after seeing a couple of u-tube videos and a few forum post I realized the potential of this cabinet. I was able to get a deal on it and the staff working was wonderful in assisting me with my purchase. I had it delivered home which was nice as the box is pretty big.

    Very much like the original and excellent addition to the basement. Fun to play like the old days, and excellent for hosting parties. Probably not something where we can just hang out and play for hours but a nice novelty for sure. Worth the discounted price.

    The Simpsons is welcome addition to the Arcade1Up arcade room. Bowling aspect of game was a deciding factor when purchasing this cabinet and where this short review will be focused. Competitive playing with up to 4 four players and actually requires a bit of skill. Several characters to choose from, but no spoilers here, though all the usual characters to choose from with a few extras. Each character has their own skill set to choose from, power, curves, straight on, etc. This cabinet is enjoyed by the kiddos & kids at heart.
