The Simpsons: D'oh You Wanna Brawl in Springfield?! | Scrolling Down the Belt 36

Welcome to Scrolling Down the Belt, a series that delves into beat 'em ups, brawlers, and belt-scrolling action games, in mostly chronological order!

Believe it or not, Konami's beat 'em up based on The Simpsons arrived in the SAME month as the arcade version of Turtles in Time! What a time to be alive!

The four player beat 'em ups from Konami were really starting to roll in around this time, but how did they stack up against one another? Turtles vs. dysfunctional humans...who will win?! The real answer is that it doesn't matter, because they're all amazing belt scrolling action games!
