It only took 20 damned years…but it was worth the wait!

No longer shall Birdman haunt the countryside looking for this quarter munching machine as it finally came home…we are talking THE SIMPSONS ARCADE GAME!
Yes, finally someone signed the blood oath to some dark power and ported this beat em’ up to Xbox Live and PSN and weirdly MS-DOS. In today’s RAD we skip merrily down memory lane and take a look at the Komami classic and see how it holds up after so long. Konami has ported many of it’s classic games to our various services with varying degrees of success from TMNT 1989 to the X-men but where do the Simpsons stand?
Is this a worth a download or simply another “D’oh!” waiting to happen!

Birdman

Mike Dodd is the guy who always said video games could be turned into a profession and eventually it turned out he was right. Mike is a passionate nerd about all facets of nerd culture from the love of the BBC’s Doctor Who to the very latest in the fight game scene, he’s on to it and likely turned into his new obsession. Dodd was raised to love all things that were pop culture from viewing his first horror movie at five years old to owning one of the first Nintendos in North America, it’s been a childhood dominated by the controller and movie screens and he couldn’t be happier. Roleplaying games such as Dungeons and Dragons dominated the high school years and unhealthy doses of Japanese anime were frequent as he completed his education and took sometime off to explore Canada and the US. However as all good times must come to an end, a decision was made to get some experience and do something fun and learn something and meant getting involved in the media. Mike volunteered with Rogers Television and became the audio/technical director for several successful programs and decided that he should further that experience by going to college. 4 years and several massive headaches later, Mike became known as “The Birdman” of This week in Geek but that is a story for another website….
