My Dinner With Andre – in spite of being the second ever fictional game to feature in The Simpsons – is only seen on-screen for a grand total of six seconds, as a tense Martin Prince frets over his next conversational input. This one looks like it should be a no-brainer. #1 Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge vs #8 My Dinner With Andre #8 – My Dinner with Andre (from “Moaning Lisa”, Season 1 Episode 6) #7 – Billy Graham’s Bible Blaster (from “Alone Again, Natura-Diddily”, Season 11 Episode 14) #6 – Escape From Death Row (from “New Kid on the Block”, Season 4 Episode 8) #5 – Hockey Dad (from “The Regina Monologues, Season 15 Episode 4) #4 – Dash Dingo (from “Lard of the Dance”, Season 10 Episode 1) #3 – Bonestorm (from “Marge Be Not Proud”, Season 7 Episode 11) #2 – Super Slugfest (from “Moaning Lisa”, Season 1 Episode 6) #1 – Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge (from “Marge Be Not Proud”, Season 7 Episode 11) At this point, these were decided according to how memorable the game was, not on whether it would actually make a good game or not. Touch of Death – Whilst it did give us the schadenfreude of watching Bart getting his comeuppance for bullying his sister, as with Larry the Looter, there are other genre-similar games that deserve a place on this list more.Īnd now onto the main event. However, as funny as the scene plays out, it just strikes too close to the bone in this time of microtransactions and pay-to-win. Kevin Costner’s Waterworld – It’s a fantastic little sequence in which Milhouse – having fed ten dollars-worth of quarters into the machine – moves no more than a couple of steps before the machine demands another 40 quarters to continue. However, as far as crime simulators go, another game does it better and features in the tournament bracket. Larry the Looter – One of the first fictional games to feature in The Simpsons, this could easily have qualified. Of course, not every game can qualify, so here are some honourable mentions… For almost as long as video games have been a thing, there have been fictional depictions of video games in both television and film, and nowhere has this been more prevalent than in The Simpsons, Fox’s long-running (maybe too long-running, but that’s a debate for another time) animated juggernaut.īut what if those games weren’t actually fictional? If those games existed in the real world, which ones would we actually want to play? With such a wide range to choose from (seriously, it’s insane just how many have featured over the years), I’ve decided to choose the one game to rule them all by way of tournament bracket.
