The year is 1991. You and your buddies have a pocket full of quarters, a free afternoon, and a wicked case of rapid onset Simpsons Fever, brought about by Bart Mania.

What do you do?

You time travel, of course, to 2024, and listen to two thirty-somethings discuss a brief history of the rise and fall of arcades, moral panic over pinball, and of course, The Simpsons Arcade Game!
