Simpsons Movie in 2007: Games as well? 02 Apr 2006
In case you've been under a rock the last few days (or just doing something more productive), The Simpsons Movie has been confirmed for a release of Summer 2007. I can guarantee that the first Simpsons game we'll see is a game based on the movie that will also be released in Summer 2007. So we'll have a game based on a movie, that is based on a show... oh, joy!


Bring Back the Classics 27 Mar 2006
I've written a new article about the possibility of a Simpsons compilation, similar to the compilations being released by companies such as Capcom and Midway. Check it out in the articles section.


Adverts 'n music 26 Mar 2006
I have added a few new music tracks to the downloads section, as well as an all new old image of a German advertisement for The Simpsons Arcade. You'll find that in the advertisements section.


"As a loyal gamer, I feel they owe me." 12 Mar 2006
Check out an Epinion from a man who was tired of crappy Simpsons video games.

While stating the poor quality of past Simpsons games as fact is something I can't exactly agree with, I did like the bit about a Simpsons RPG. As of this news post, RPG is winning in the site poll above, so perhaps EA should stay away from another derivative sports/3rd person action clone.


Family Guy: The Games 05 Mar 2006
Although this is somewhat old news, FOX and 2K Games have signed an agreement to release video games based on the Family Guy TV series. Check out the details. FOX and 2K Games (a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive, of GTA series fame) recently released 24: The Game as well.


New Poll is Live 01 Mar 2006
I've placed a poll at the top of this News page that will remain there until the next Simpsons video games are announced. It will be interesting to see what the public would like to see and what EA actually delivers.


Happy (belated) Birthday! 16 Feb 2006
I totally forgot about Matt Groening's birthday! He turned 52 this February 15th, and I want to wish him the best for the coming year. As a celebratory treat I brought out this old game sprite of Groening that I captured from the game Bart vs. the World, in which a grayscale version of him appears on a sheet of paper in the background of the final stage. The sprite has been added to the Bart vs. the World page.


Behind the Scenes added to Game Info 12 Feb 2006
I have finally updated a few of the Game Info pages with "Behind the Scenes" information such as sales numbers and features that were cut out of the games before they were released.


Itchy and Scratchy Golf article 11 Feb 2006
Today's update is a scanned article from the August '94 issue of Nintendo Power. The article covers about half of the game and really shows off the levels well. Check it out in the scanned articles section.


The weird history of Acclaim 19 Jan 2006
The official Nintendo site has a little article that goes over Acclaim's sordid history. Acclaim was the publisher for all of the Simpsons titles in the early to mid 90s (with few exceptions), hence the Bart and the Beanstalk in the title. Check it out at their site!


Simpsons Arcade on Xbox Live 18 Jan 2006
That title is eye-catching isn't it? Unfortunately it hasn't happened... yet. IGN held a reader poll asking which classic games should be available for purchase and download via Xbox 360's Live Arcade and The Simpsons Arcade scored third out of the top 10 most wanted games. Fans have been begging (I sure as hell have) for an improved home version of the classic arcade game for years, and hopefully this high profile article gets the wheels in motion.


Site forum now open! 02 Jan 2006
With the help of my host and some time I've finally opened the site forum. There's a board for each platform and general discussion as well for anyone who has a question. Check it out.


New articles for a new year. 31 Dec 2005
Hey folks. The final update of the year is damn good one; someone emailed me a bunch of scanned articles about Simpsons video games... in Spanish! I can read 'em OK and I figure any other Spanish-speaking fans will enjoy the articles as well. You'll find them in the scanned articles section.

I also came across an ad for Simpsons Pinball that I hadn't scanned, and you'll find those with the scanned advertisements.


If you see this it's news to you. 25 Dec 2005
So we're back after a week of technical issues. There's no real update today but we should have new stuff by the end of the week.


Updates, three... virtual reality! 19 Dec 2005
We have quite a few new things today. First is the news management system that allows me to make easier news updates and also has a feature for users who want to post comments. Post away, kids!

There's also a few things in the Game Guides section. I updated both of the Virtual Bart guides and created a map for Virtual Springfield. Check them out if you need help in those games or any other Simpsons games.

Finally, there were a few important news items that I don't want to lose from the old news page, so here are the autumn highlights:

12/08/05 - Acclaim, famous for releasing many a licensed title throughout the 90s, goes bankrupt and all of the games, including Simpsons games, are put up for auction. See the full details (saved on my server for archive purposes).

11/14/05 - The whole site gets redesigned to version 6.0. Check out the old design.

11/02/05 - FOX signs a deal with game publisher/developer E.A. to create new games based on The Simpsons, and my response.


EA Gets The Simpsons License 02 Nov 2005
For those who haven't heard, it was announced today that large game publisher EA has signed a deal to develop games based on The Simpsons for next-gen systems. Check out the story at Gamespot.

In other news, new episodes of The Simpsons return this Sunday with the annual Treehouse of Horror episode (a personal favorite). I hope to have that article I promised by then.


New manual, more to come. 11 Oct 2005
Today I have one new manual for <b>The Simpsons</b>, a handheld LCD game by Tiger Electronics. Check it out in the Game Info page. Seeing as it's October and almost Halloween (my favorite holiday) I'll try and do something cool to highlight the couple of Simpsons games that had Halloween stuff in them. Look for that in the next update.


Scanning delight. 04 Sep 2005
I recently came up on some game manuals for Bart vs. the World and Bart's Nightmare, and you best believe I've scanned them and put them in the Images section of the site. I also intend to scan more recent games such as Simpsons Wrestling, Simpsons Skateboarding, Simpsons Road Rage, and Simpsons Hit & Run, and I'll also finish adding stuff to the Downloads. Summer's over baby, and I'm back in full force!


Return of the Space Mutants 14 Mar 2005
What up folks. Today's update is a new page for a NES game called Return of the Space Mutants. It's a hack by a talented guy named Macbee who took some mediocre video game and crafted it into an all new Simpsons game. Check it out in the Game Info page.


Updates and purty pictures 25 Feb 2005
First item for today is updates to all the guides in the Guides section. Nothing noticeable, but check 'em out if ya need help in a Simpsons game. I also created a new splash page usin' the old Super Mario Bros. look, though it's more for video game dorks than Simpsons dorks. See ya.
