    Packaged very well. The game play reminds me when I was younger when we had to go to an arcade to play games.

    Had to build this pretty much from scratch. It was set up so anyone can do it. I just needed one set of extra hands to lift it from its side. Other than that one person can vuild this. Once it was built it was just fun playing it. Reminded me of the good ol arcade days.

    Lots of fun to play, wish there were more than two games, but good quality, easy to assemble. Online games are limited to whoever is online.

    Split review of product and Best Buy

    This is a split review. Product itself gets a 4. Game is fun but something better than simpsons bowling as an additional game would get this up to a 5 star rating. These cabinets are of course not to be compared to real arcades and you are getting a replica. Keep that in mind when you purchase anything from Arcade 1up. I have had very few issues with them but after warranties run out they are just good for modding into something else. My experience with Best Buy however is a 0. I was sent a refund because the item wasn't able to be sent after in store purchase. They claimed it was from lack of stock but later admitted it was because they got the pricing wrong.

    First off, the deal for $299 was a great deal. Assembly was fairly easy, was able to do it alone, although two folks can assemble it faster. Once it was ready to go up and ready, I turned it on, and suddenly the 8yrs old kid in me was reborn again. Remember playing this, and other arcade classics at the rest areas on a family trip. Brought back a lot of great memories playing it. Has two great games included, easy and fun to play. Really enjoying now playing this with my kids while telling them about the old great memories.

    Being a huge Simpsons fan, I had to have this. Assembly was fairly easy, but the screw heads strip easily - so take your time. The game looks great and plays just like the arcade. Simpsons bowling is a fun game for the whole family - only wish it had online game play. Love the matching stool.

    Excellent arcade of the original Konami Simpsons arcade from the 90s. If you remember dumping quarters at the local arcade, this will bring back that nostalgia you have been looking for...quarter free! With the included Simpsons bowling (very hard game to emulate), it's a home run for those who love the Simpsons. The included stool and tin sign were a plus. Although previously purchased at a higher price, I still find great value with the included bundle of items in this package. Have a duff and enjoy!

    This is the cabinet I've been waiting on since Arcade1up came to town. My brothers and I would play The Simpsons arcade game any chance we'd run into it (theaters, arcades etc) Is it worth the hefty $700 price tag? I'd say no. It is, however, a fun game, and the bowling game is a nice addition.

    Game Cabinet looks Awesome

    The game cabinet looks awesome they really did a great job with the cabinet graphics. Now when you turn it on, its a really fun game but the video graphics I think could be better. The instructions to put it together were a total nightmare… It was like playing Pictionary. There was no written instructions. Im so pleased I got it on clearance because if I hadnt I wouldve given it one star for the instructions and the fact that it took two grown adults all day to assemble it…

    I have 7 cabinets and 1 pinball from Arcade 1Up and this Simpsons cabinet makes cabinet number 8. Assembly is easy and a 2nd person can make it easy for the non-initiated. Gameplay is fun and the bowling game definitely has infinite playability and fun for a group of friends. If you remember playing this game in the arcades, why not play it at home while having a 3/4 scale cabinet in the room. I would buy this again.

    One of the best arcades of all time

    The Konami "Simpsons" arcade is one of the most beloved arcades of all time. Now you have an opportunity to own a home version without having to pay 2K + for an original. If you've ever seen an Arcade 1UP you know what to expect. The $799 starting price was too expensive in my opinion, but now you can get it for $599/$499. Totally worth it if you have the extra cash.

    Childhood staple plays just like I remember. I waited for this to be discounted due to only having two games. That said, it's a fantastic cab addition to the home arcade. The bowling game is quite fun as well. Build quality is wonderful, and the dual faux coin doors look terrific. The Konami accurate form factor looks great lined up with other Arcade1up titles as well.
