#THE SIMPSONS GAME PS3 DIGITAL PLUS#

As for the quality of what comes in the box to build your wonderful Arcade1Up, it’s sturdy and high-end. This is especially important given you have a 17″ LCD screen being shipped, and that’s the last thing that needs to be inadequately packed. I was surprised to find how everything was packaged thoughtfully, ensuring nothing in my box broke or was scuffed. Now, as for the quality of the pieces you’re working with, everything has a premium feel.

The instructions are very succinct and if you follow them step by step it’ll be together in no time. Our editor Richard Allen put together his Terminator 2 unit really quickly, and as he tells me, it’s to the point he can slap one together within 30 minutes. I initially thought this would be an all day build, but I spent more or less an hour and a half doing it. Thankfully, that’s the only thing you’ll need this unit is super easy to put together without any other tools.Īs soon as you get everything unpacked one thing is for certain there’s plenty to do, but I wouldn’t say this is much tougher to assemble than a gaming desk and gaming chair. Besides that, you will need a Phillip’s head screwdriver, and make sure it has a comfortable handle, because you’ll be using it a lot. I was in a bit of a cramped area, and while it worked, it was definitely a challenge. Once you’ve got everything together, you’ll need a big space to build the cabinet in. Still, it’s heavy either way, so you want to have an extra hand available, if just to carry it inside and move it to where you plan to put everything together. I did receive the big one, including the light up marquee sign, tin sign, and custom stool, so it’s a little bigger than the one you’d pick up at Walmart without those additional items. Now, I’ve got one of these bad boys in my gaming area, so let’s discuss how this release stacks up to both my gaming nostalgia and the standards of today.

To my amazement, during E3 2021 we were invited to a panel where Arcade1Up spoke to us about upcoming units, and I lit up at the mention of The Simpsons game returning in the form I first met them.

I didn’t play the game again until the release on PS3, but of course I was too busy to really enjoy it, plus there’s just something about playing it with friends on an arcade machine. There were a few friends from my church with me, and I somehow had some money I hadn’t blown on something, so on we went for about two hours, beating up henchmen as the world’s most famous family. I was probably around 12, and while we waited I went over to the arcade the airport had, to discover a Simpsons arcade cabinet. One of my favorite gaming memories occurred when I went with my family to the airport for us to pick up a friend.
