@@FFKonoko Correct. The joke was that if the show didn't last very long on regular TV after a few seasons Marge was going to pull off her "tall blue wig" to reveal bunny ears and that she was never human and was nothing more than a Matt Groening cartoon creation or an alien or something. Clearly the show kept going and they ditched the idea but somehow the Japanese got wind of it and stuck it in the game as a joke. Maybe they'll do it at 30 seasons.
What I love most about a TAS like this is that each of the four Simpsons plays their part. It's not a competition to see who can get the most points, it's a single unified group. Marge by far lags behind the others in terms of points, and yet her throwing of the children is an absolutely crucial part. It's what separates us mere mortals from the immortal work of a TAS.
This post just proves to me that these arcade characters are clearly not the real Simpsons. Where are all the back stabbing, melodrama, and toxic cartoon family caricatures!?
@@Midee they had reference art from the first season only, hence slightly off-model "Tracy Ulman Show" Homer. This was like a decade before the CC Lemon licensing deal had made the Simpsons even remotely recognizable in Japan, so I'd imagine it was a lot like TMNT where Konami's team was like "uhhh ok." Ergo, Moe's bar, the underground speakeasy, and Smithers the caped supervillain.
@@sovrinn16 that actually answers a lot of questions I always had about this game. Smithers is the most off-character of all of them. I also always wondered if the character design for some of the bosses was original (like the first boss or the bar boss) or if they're based on early season characters I've forgotten about
@@Psychonautical89a tas is basically a computer trained to finish a game the fastest way possible. when the game prompts players to hit buttons the tas responds by mashing the buttons as fast as it could. or so thats what i understand
@@Psychonautical89 A TAS is a run through a game that is basically perfected, using savestates and frame-perfect inputs (along with other things like RNG readers) They can mash as fast as the game can register, which tends to be 30Hz for one button (assuming 60FPS and no weird shenanigans)
This game feels like the Simpsons from an alternate timeline, so many small details being slightly off because they were based on a non finalized version of the first season.
Kind of like how the X-Men arcade game was based on Pryde of the X-Men, a pilot that never made it to series, instead of the much more popular X-Men cartoon on Fox Kids.
@@pinkmell0w not when the games a low resolution and you have poor eyesight. Not to mention in regular play, the game would probably be a lot more chaotic, this making the characters harder to see anyway, especially when Bart and Lisa have like the same color palette and they're flying across the whole screen
Looking at the score at the end you see how Lisa unfairly absorbs a lot of Marge's score when they do their team attack, because Marge is the one who initiates the attack by picking up Lisa and then throwing her, but it's only Lisa who scores points for hitting the enemies.
Remember that episode of The Simpsons where Moe relocated to an elevator shaft under both a cemetery and a Sasquatch sanctuary? I wish they explored that plot thread more.
"Adelikat and DarkKobold" It really makes me happy to see these two old familiar faces are still kicking ass on the TAS scene. I'm pretty sure I've been watching the both of them for at least 13 years now. They'll never know the joy they've brought me over the years. God bless 'em.
Back in the day, a local pizza parlor had this in the arcades. Between me, my two sisters, and Mom or Dad, I could not say how much practice/quarters were required but ... eventually we DID actually beat the game.

This, "Asterix" and some "Jurassic Park" arcade game at the local Brighton Odeon cinema (my home town) during the 90s waiting to go into our screen to watch a movie!! Not to mention "WWF WrestleFest" and "Street Fighter II" at my local swimming pool (King Alfred Hove).
Always was a huge fan of the Simpsons Arcade game. It is hard to believe this gem is from way back in 1991. This is probably the best Simpsons video game I ever played.
Imagine if this was the only Simpsons related content made, or is the most known Simpsons content, so most people don’t know Simpson, except for this game and the people who played, to where people actually want them to come back explaining why it is a classic!
i'm honestly a touch disappointed in the lack of vulgar 3 letter words in the 'enter your name' screen at the very end, for that authentic 90s arcade feeling

I can't get over the fact that the Simpsons are just having a normal day and then suddenly maggie is kidnapped and damn near everyone in Springfield wants them dead.
because Homer has the best moveset of the entire cast. He's leagues better than the other three characters. Marge's moveset is so lacking in comparison that her best move is to throw objects.

Did any of the common enemies from this game ever appear in a Simpsons episode?
A very white-skinned version of that guy you fight at the end of Moes was in the background in a lot of early season crowd shots. I don’t think he ever spoke or had a name
I can't get over the fact that the Simpsons are just having a normal day and then suddenly maggie is kidnapped and damn near everyone in Springfield wants them dead.
I like how the bonus stages tie in with the game's progression
Everybody except Homer has a weapon of some sort.
Homer throws hands with the best of them
"How's my hair?"
1:13 Homer Simpson! There are kids here!
still a better plot than the average modern simpson episode
I'm a simple guy. I see weird video from 2 years ago in my recommended, i watch it.
"Alright, now play friendly."
Homer gets quite a lot of knockouts despite not being thrown across the screen constantly
because Homer has the best moveset of the entire cast. He's leagues better than the other three characters. Marge's moveset is so lacking in comparison that her best move is to throw objects.
2:48 This is Jim. He lives in the skip.
I thought I recognized this song from somewhere
I thought this was the spon theme and after realizing it wasn't this popped up
Caddicarus reference spotted. You have my approval
3:03 I was asleep at the time of the transfer, but I was startled by this sound and rolled over. Lol (I saw the nickname as well, which means I am I'm Korean.)
I remember this game. Way back when I was a kid, I'd play it like crazy at a Chuck E. Cheese's. Obviously, I wasn't THIS good at it...
6:19: A Simpsons arcade game...in the Simpsons arcade game? D:
*A L L R I G H T N O W , P L A Y F R I E N D L Y*
Wow. Seeing the ending here is so much cheaper than in the arcade!
Anybody else notice the two Selmas at 14:07? Considering she's a twin I shouldn't be so put off by seeing two of her, but still, feels weird.
Finally ive been wanting to see this done
