Just curious if anyone has or has had the Simpson's Bowling by Konami? Any fun? My wife isn't much of an arcade game player but she does enjoy World Championship Bowling. I've been looking for one for sale and came across The Simpsons Bowling game within reasonable driving distance. I'm a huge Simpsons fan and this game looks like it might be similar to World Championship Bowling. Any feedback is appreciated.
 
Simpsons Bowling sucks. It looks like fun, but it really sucks. The way the trackball works, it plays different than the other bowlers. I had one, and am glad it is gone.

I think it's a matter of opinion but I like it... Granted, there are other better bowling games out there, but I dig Simpsons bowling and would grab one if it were priced better. I've seen kits on eBay selling for $300-$400 which is ridiculous, and the full machine for much more. At any rate, the only thing that does get a little irritating is the music that loops over and over again during the game, but the animations are pretty funny.

Try it out on MAME and see if you like it.
 
I played it once, and thought it was ok for a bowling game. I should've played it more to get a good feel of the game, but alas I didn't. I picked Homer and only got 2 strikes the entire game! Doh'

Ubergeek has one and him and his children love it! I've played it a few times and loved the animations and the little sayings and taunts. I'd pick one up if it were in the price range I'd be happy to pay, even as a kit to put in my Simpsons cab to swap out...
