That was one of the first NES games I ever played. When my cousins got a playstation, their NES got passed on to one of my aunts -- presumably my other relation did that in the interest of not spoiling his kids, I suppose. I couldn't have been more than five when I found this out and promptly begged and pleaded with them to pull it out. They did, and it was wonderful. Years later, she shipped it to me as a Christmas present - twenty or so games and all. I was one happy fifth grader in 2003 (put the year just to make you guys feel old, by the way.)

I later got some experience with the arcade version, of course. It can't hold a candle to the NES version for me though. Despite the downgrade in graphics, the extra levels help with the variety. Oh, and also, your health drains way too fast in the arcade. It was a coin muncher, all right. At least the Simpsons game felt fair!
