Arcade1Up The Simpsons Arcade Machine
Although the game, and the show it’s based on, peaked in popularity long before most college students today were actually born, The Simpsons arcade machine was a genuine quarter magnet in the ‘90s, and remains a great alternative to studying for up to four mostly sober competitors. Arcade1Up’s $656 recreation is 3/4 the size of the original, so it should have no problem finding a home in a frat house or sorority, and features authentic cabinet graphics and a glowing marquee. If you can’t understand why anyone would want to play this over an Xbox Series X or PS5, just point your parents at it when they come to visit. They’ll get sucked right in.
