About The Game (From Wikipedia):\r
The Simpsons Arcade Game is an arcade beat em up developed by Konami released in 1991, and the first video game based on The Simpsons franchise. The voice actors of the immediate family (Dan Castellaneta, Julie Kavner, Nancy Cartwright, and Yeardley Smith) provide voices for their respective characters. It uses the same engine[citation needed] and therefore has similar overall gameplay as the 1989 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles arcade game, also made by Konami. The game was ported to the Commodore 64 and MS-DOS soon after its launch in the arcades. The game was released on Xbox Live Arcade on February 3, 2012 and was released for the PlayStation Network on February 7, 2012.\r

The game begins with Waylon Smithers and two goons robbing Springfield Jewelers (for reasons unknown). Smithers bumps into Homer Simpson, whose family is conveniently walking down the street. The encounter knocks a diamond from Smithers haul, and Maggie catches it in her mouth (to replace the pacifier). Smithers then snatches Maggie (rather than just the diamond) and runs off. The Simpsons give chase, but hundreds of suit-wearing goons under Mr. Burns employ stand in their way.\r
\r
The Simpson family go through many stages chasing Smithers, from Downtown Springfield (Stage 1), Krustyland theme park (Stage 2), Springfield Discount Cemetery (Stage 3), Moes Tavern (Stage 4), the Springfield butte (Stage 5), a waterfall plunge-induced dreamland (Stage 6), the KBBLs Channel 6 Broadcasting studio (Stage 7), and the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant (Stage 8, the final stage).\r
\r
The game ends with the player(s) having a showdown with a bomb throwing Smithers and then finally Mr. Burns who is in a plutonium-powered armored fighting vehicle. Then, once the player(s) defeats him, Maggie appears, walking toward the unconscious Mr. Burns. A finale cutscene shows her putting her pacifier into his mouth and sucking on the diamond. As the victor, the player(s) stands behind Maggie and picks her up, and the family walks off. The family walks back to Springfield while the credits roll. After the credits, Homer tosses away the giant diamond that Maggie had in her mouth.\r

The player chooses from one of the remaining four Simpsons (as shown in playable order): Marge (The first player), who swings her vacuum cleaner; Homer (The second player), who punches and kicks; Bart (The third player), who wields his skateboard; and Lisa (The fourth player), who uses a jump rope like a whip. They fight through the employees and chase Smithers as he escapes through various Springfield landscapes. The games levels are based on the streets of Springfield, Krustyland, the Springfield Discount Graveyard, Moes Tavern, Springfield Butte, a dream world, the Channel 6 studio, and the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Each level ends with a boss whose speed and strength would increase after taking a set amount of damage.
