Original Story: Hard-working FPGA dev Jotego has revealed that he is bringing Konami's classic Simpsons arcade game to MiSTer and Analogue Pocket.

Originally released in 1991, the side-scrolling beat 'em up was the first video game based on It was the first video game based on Matt Groening's famously disfunctional family to be released in North America.
