List of Best to Worst Simpsons Game

In honor of every episode of The Simpsons being available to stream legally, I thought I would share my list of favorite to least favorite Simpsons game. My hobby/sickness is to play and collect Simpson games so this is a pretty thorough and nearly complete list. Unfortunately I have not played Bart and the Beanstalk, Itchy and Scratchy Mini Golf, Virtual Springfield, and several of the mobile phone games. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they suck.

The Simpsons Pinball Party

1. The Simpsons Pinball Party

Easily one of my favorite pinball tables and up there with classics like The Addams Family and Twilight Zone. The table is loaded with all sorts of cool gimmicks and has a fairly forgiving dead zone.

The Simpsons Game

2. The Simpsons Game

I picked this up at a Target for $10 and was surprised at how fun it was. A good platformer with some funny jokes and cool cameos.

The Simpsons Arcade Game

3. The Simpsons Arcade Game

A mediocre quarter stealing beat'em up. It gets extra credit for the weird story involving Waylon Smithers straight up kidnapping Maggie and references to Matt Groening's comic strip Life in Hell.

The Simpsons: Hit & Run

4. The Simpsons: Hit & Run

GTA:Springfield only no guns and all driving missions.

Krusty's Fun House

5. Krusty's Fun House

The best of the Acclaim Simpsons games. Krusty's Fun House is an okay mix of puzzle solving and platforming.

The Simpsons

6. The Simpsons

As far as pinball tables go this is pretty bland but not horrible.

The Simpsons Bowling

7. The Simpsons Bowling

You ever play an arcade bowling game before? There all pretty much the same but this one is Simpsons themed.

Futurama

8. Futurama

I only added this because there is supposedly going to be a Simpsons/Futurama (God Dammit! Don't taint Futurama) crossover this upcoming season. Anyway this game is hard to find and not that great. The real reason to play is the cutscenes written by show co-creator David X. Cohen, which are a bonus feature on one of Futurama DTV movies.

The Simpsons: Road Rage

9. The Simpsons: Road Rage

A blatant Crazy Taxi clone that is a bit lacking.

The Simpsons: Night of The Living Treehouse of Horror

10. The Simpsons: Night of The Living Treehouse of Horror

A forgettable platformer that is barely okay. I think this is the only Simpsons game made for the Game Boy Color. Everything after this is varying degrees of shit.
