But the Arcade Game was pretty dope...
I forgot that one. Such a shame it didn't get ported to the home systems back in the day.

I liked the DS game as a kid, but I haven't played it in years so I don't know how well it holds up.I rented that one and just didn't like it. I don't think there was a single actually good Simpsons game back in the 8 and 16 bit era. The only good one is Hit and Run.
Anyone remember this SNES game where you play as Krusty and get rid of rodents by solving puzzles or something like that?

Sadly that's what it sounds like now."I have laryngitis and it hurts to talk, so I'll just say one thing - you never do anything right."
I wouldn't mind this at all, having episodes done by different people in whatever way they choose to do it as. They could be homages, spoofs, retreads or anything at all.Why don't they just have an entire farewell season?
A whole season of alternate series finales. A different writer for each one. Maybe guest directors. Maybe have fans vote on things. They could really make a huge deal of it.
They've definitely got the money and 30+ years of show to justify it.
You forgot Bart vs. The World for the NES! That one is easy to forget though!I remember everyone I know having Bart vs the Space Mutants for NES and Virtual Bart on SNES. Just those two for whatever reason.
I don't remember anyone ever really enjoying them, but the cool kids had them and they got played a lot, probably just because of the novelty of playing the Simpsons.
Only for the Commodore 64 and the PC! Heck if the SNES had it, nobody would complain!I forgot that one. Such a shame it didn't get ported to the home systems back in the day.
There's a barcade near me that has it in their collection.A few years ago I was working in New Hampshire, and I went to the Funspot in Laconia on a day off. The Simpsons Arcade Game was literally the only game down for maintenance.
Lisa's Wedding would have been a near perfect series finale and would have let the series die with dignity but that ship sailed a long fucking time ago.
I think "Homer's Enemy" or "Behind the Laughter" would have served as excellent series finales, thematically. "Brother from Another Series" would have been an excellent note to end the Sideshow Bob stories.So would War Of Lisa Simpson (unpopular opinion)
Once upon a time, I think I kind of thought it really would be the last episode.

WELL HOT DOG WE HAVE A WIENER
Just re-watched $pringfield (Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Legalized Gambling). I love how it was only barely an episode but more clearly a collection of one-off gags they couldn't figure out how to fit in a proper episode.
"What if we showed a post-war propaganda movie about Springfield manufacturing amphibious cars"
"What if Bart ran a casino from his tree house where they bet on whether or not nerds would embarass themselves"
"What if Lisa had a nightmare about the Boogeyman but Homer thought it was real"
"What if Mr. Burns became a crazy recluse germophobe"
"What if Homer was in Rain Man"

I always loved the subplot about Burns going nuts. And I think the Homer/Lisa one really cut to the heart of who Classic Homer is - he’s an idiot and a slob, but he always wants to do right by his daughter.But somehow they all connected it together in a brilliant story about economic prosperity, a gambling addiction, and a father who fails at being a house-dad.
"YER OWA AEH OO OR AUER"*he’s an idiot and a slob, but he always wants to do right by his daughter
New The only truly good Simpsons video games were the original Konami arcade game and Simpsons Hit & Run.
Krusty's Super Funhouse for the SNES is a good Lemmings clone.
I'll always have a fondness for those early Simpsons games (Arcade, Bart's Nightmare, Bart vs. The Space Mutants) because they reflect the cultural zeitgeist of the first two seasons focusing on Bart, and not Homer, as the show's breakout character.
I sorta recall it being like "Yer getta furder ratta aurah!", but I guess that's close!"YER OWA AEH OO OR AUER"*
"Think before you say each word."
*(think that's how it went)
Being that age, we all wanted to be Bart too!Krusty's Super Funhouse for the SNES is a good Lemmings clone.

I wouldn't doubt that.They say Bart The Daredevil was the beginning of Duh HOMUH Show.
One of my favourite episodes is Bart of Darkness.But somehow they all connected it together in a brilliant story about economic prosperity, a gambling addiction, and a father who fails at being a house-dad.
