    Great classic game but overpriced

    Each wave of Arcade 1ups seem to go up in price. One would hope the quality goes up as well but I don't see much of a difference for the price difference. I love the Simpsons game and got this one on sale. Even at the sale price I still think it's priced too high. None of the components are very high end and the materials used are still cheap. I was expecting the vinyl wrap to be better quality by now but it is still thin and small areas were already peeling up right out of the box. Also had many areas it wasn't cut correctly and left small triangular spikes along the edges as well as some glue globs on the area where the control panel sits. This one still uses the same thin mdf board and components as the other cabinets that cost half this price with the exception of wifi, lighted marque (which is just a piece of the the same vinyl over clear plastic with a light behind it), and it being 4 player. I do like it but don't think it should be more than $400-450 like the original 4 player turtles cabinet was. I would recommend waiting for a price drop of $500 or less. I have seen reviews complaining about sound not working on the games, the bowling in particular...I had the same issue but noticed under the bowling game on the menu it states *full game coming soon. When you hook it to wifi and run the update it downloads the full version of the bowling game which fixes the sound, as well as updates the menus with all new Simpsons type font and looks a lot better.

    I mean about $200 feels cheap till you see them else where for less. Its good but the internet doesnt always work on it but that might be 1up. Easy to put together nice that it even came with the stool and a sign.

    The same fun that I remember from being a kid but at home now. Wish it had another game to make it more replayable but the bowling game will do.

    I love it! Such a great buy at $300 during the December holiday sales. I cut myself really badly during assembly due to some poor knife skills on my part so I ended up overseeing the rest but overall it was an easy job. It truly brings back some good childhood memories. The Wi-Fi and online gameplay are an added bonus. I've seen and watched a lot of mod videos but have been too scared to try myself but I like that it's a possibility.
