Community Playdate: The Simpsons Arcade

[danielrbischoff]

So this landed today, for free for PS+ users, and I know that it only supports four players, but that's about all we get in these playdates anyways (except didn't we get 8 in the red dead redemption playdate?)

Anyways, I'm looking for people to play with, so what say you? I can't make a time this week (I have a funeral to attend on Friday) so how about next week, Monday? If that time doesn't work for you but you want to play, please suggest another day next week.

D'OH!

How much does it cost normally, and how big is the download size?

I think it's $10 normally and I'm not sure of the file size, it auto installed for me over night.

I'll get you a size later, Longo. I can't imagine it being more than 250 MB though.

Dan, RDR was a giant success because I rock at event organizing...and everybody brought a friend.

I'm down next Monday. Lately, I've been available starting at 9 pm PST though.

Alright. I think I might get it. I have a 20 dollar coupon, so I think I'll get this and SOTN PS1 classic.

And I needed to know filesize because while my connection is stable, it has a terribly slow download speed. But I can just leave my PS3 on for three nights if I have to.

45 minutes? It's not often I meet someone with a worse connection than I.

lol, it took me a minute to download and install.

I was spoiled by X-Men since it's widescreen but Simpsons arcade is still a great nostalgic trip.

90's Simpsons was a huge part of my life and still is today. But there was early 90's Simpsons and late 90's Simpsons. Early 90's was all about Bart, and that's the era in which the arcade takes place in. Late 90's is when Homer became the star and has been ever since. Today The Simpsons is... well.. in HD... lol And that's about the only good thing I can say about it.

It's crazy how those arcade games used to look so incredible when they were new. It was unlike anything you had seen, and there was no way you could get games looking that good at home.

It's good for a chuckle here and there.

...and stop moving Wicked, so we can do the stupid super move!

haha, I have no idea how you were doing that move, I would've enabled voice chat but I had a friend over and we were listening to music while playing. I hate when people go on mic and they're blasting their music..

Oh and Dan, I'm down for Monday. Just add me.

"How to Play", in the options manual, read it.


You just have to stand still next to the other character.

Wait, that's really how you do it?

...Makes so much sense.

Also, Wicked! I don't think you have me as a friend. Add me!
