The iconic Steamed Hams scene from The Simpsons is now available in the form of a point-and-click adventure game. While there hasn't been a new Simpsons game in several years, many previous games, as well as the long-running sitcom, remain popular with fans. Since the series began in 1989, over 20 games based on the animated comedy have been released across a myriad of consoles.
While many Simpsons scenes have gone viral over the years, arguably the most popular has been the scene dubbed by fans as Steamed Hams. The scene originates from the Season 7, Episode "22 Short Films About Springfield," in which character Principal Skinner attempts to impress his boss, Superintendent Chalmers, by hosting a luncheon. After Skinner's roast catches fire, he decides to replace the main course with hamburgers from the fast-food restaurant Krusty Burger. What follows is a series of hilarious lies from Skinner as he attempts to cover up his mistakes, culminating with Skinner's kitchen catching on fire — which he claims is Aurora Borealis. Point-and-click adventure games became popular in the 1990s, with gameplay centered around players exploring interactive environments to solve puzzles and progress storylines. While point and click games briefly suffered a dip in popularity, they've had a resurgence in recent years as new developers give their takes on the genre.
