15 best video games that exist in The Simpsons universe

Hi, I’m The Industry’s Chris Moyse, you might remember me from articles such as 10 Best Lawsuits Filed Against Activision Blizzard and Juri’s Soles: Delicious but Deadly, but today I’m here to talk to you about America’s favorite animated, non-prehistoric family: The Simpsons.

In the 35+ years that The Simpsons has been on television — only 12 of those being years being Good — Captain Wacky and his family have taken a delightfully satirical stab at practically all forms of art, entertainment, and global services. From comic books to movies, cartoons to pop music, and even services such as Uber and esports in episodes that you haven’t seen because you tuned out years ago.

Of course, video games were another medium that did not escape the satirical eye of The Simpsons’ writer’s room, and even the earliest of seasons feature a veritable treasure trove of arcades and home console releases, at once completely original and highly familiar. And while all of these titles might not actually exist in the real world, in many cases, they probably should. I’d sell my soul to Milhouse for the opportunity to visit the Noiseland Video Arcade, or for just one round of Robert Goulet Destroyer.

When “Simpsons-mania” first kicked into high gear in the early 1990s — an era defined by either Bart Simpson or Michaelangelo’s face slapped onto every single purchasable item in existence — the gaming community was hit with a tidal wave of frankly rubbish Simpsons tie-in video games. But while writing “The 15 Best Simpsons Games of All Time” would be something of an oxymoron, I’m far more interested in looking at the fictional titles that, for the most part at least, only exist within The Simpsons universe.
