Anyone have any thoughts on this Data East The Simpsons?


I like the look of it but I can’t find any recent sales to help me align price expectations for this. I’m guessing not too expensive since Stern TSPP is a lot more popular. (I think the super early artwork on the Data East game is kind of cool though, a fun relic of early Simpsons-mania!)

Probably 2.5 -3k Simpsons is never cheap
 
Starship Troopers you maggots! Facebook 3.4k
It was initially 2800, then he either had a rethink or some smart **** told him to price it higher 😅

Great game but the first price is more sensible considering the average condition and issues.
 
I'm going to be controversial and say Starship Troopers is the ONLY good Sega game 🤣
(before the Baywatch people get upset, Baywatch was designed by and made entirely out of Data-East parts, with a Sega logo photoshopped on)

Starship Troopers is actually the game that got me into pinball. they had one at St Annes pier that I would play weekly. I though the moving target and the popup-brainbug was amazing back then 🤣

I love X-Files, Goldeneye, Frankenstein,Independence Day, Godzilla amongst other Sega games. Everyone has different favourites which is one of the things that keeps this hobby interesting .

Damn, I'd of gone to 3.
 
I played this a few weeks back for first time and enjoyed it more than I expected, simple to learn hard to score big, outlanes are brutal and seems to be all about the left ramp but hitting drops and pops the callouts and sounds are fun. Definitely better than I expected and one of the better DE I've played, probably top 5 DE's. I'd like own one at some stage but I'd have thought 2.2 to 2.5k personally
 
I'd have it if it didn't have that gross second right flipper.
Its one of my old machines, New magnet, playfield rubbers, flippers rebuilt playfield and ramps cleaned and waxed, really miss it, the little flipper makes some of the harder shots easy-once you've got the hang of it, to be honest i'm tempted to buy it back.
 
Playfield looks rough for £2800 imo….

EBay has removed the two sale links to ones that sold in November 2024- rough project one went for £1900 ish and a better one for £2800. This seems steep despite the theme- love the Simpsons theme but would sooner have a DE Star Wars for this type of money or LAH

Oh I don't disagree that 2.2-2.5 is what it's worth. I'm talking in the funny money people are still trying to sell Data Easts.

Agreed. There is also wear on the usual places the waterfall and moe. Think moe has been painted also.

So just in case someone here bought it I have a full playfield overlay if they would like it
 
This will be interesting.

 
Awful game but always sells well When Aztec coin used to dump them on my @ 200 quid it was like an early Christmas present
