Simpsons Pinball Party

[bavelb]

Went on holiday last week to a vacationpark. As usual one of the first things I did was run into the amusementbuilding to check out if they have a pinball machine. To my deligh tthey had a fairly well maintained Simpsons Pinball Party, which I had never played before.

All of the playfield lights seemed dead (hard to say if the playfield areas were supposes to light up or not) so figuring out the machine by DMD-warnings alone was a bit of a challenge, but what a fun table! The machine was also reasonalbe priced (50 cts per game) so I threw in about 10 bucks worth over the course of the week (and broke the garagedoor consequently, causing the ball to get stuck behind it when shooting the kwik-e-drive-thru loop each time, so the ball-search function kicked in about 5 times per game which got old).

Great great table, and hopefully it's somewhere in the realm of possibilities to see that machine in some version of TPA at some point.

I'm jealous. Both the Simpson's Pinball Parties I've played were terribly maintained. On one the Garage Door was stuck open, on the other it was stuck closed. I could live with the one that was stuck open, but the table was quite dirty and the flippers were crooked too. The one with the Garage Door stuck down just made playing feel completely pointless. I got pretty good at hitting Itchy&Scratchy though.

I too would LOVE to see it in TPA.

I'd love to see both Simpsons Pinball Party and Family Guy in TPA.
Both are awesome tables.

Would be great if this was the next Kickstarter instead of T2. More likely to achieve successful backing I'd guess.

I played a handful of games on a really nice Simpsons Pinball Party at Pinfest a couple weeks ago. My 14 year old nephew and I both really enjoyed it. So it definitely has a wide appeal. Colorful artwork, good DMD animations and what seemed like a very deep game with a lot of modes. Would be a hit on TPA for sure. FOX seems to put the Simpsons image on just about everything even boxer shorts, so you would think they would at least talk to FS about the possibility.

Yeah, I really wish we could get both the Simpsons Pinball Party and Family Guy. They probably wouldn't be able to get all the great Family Guy call-outs in but I'd still love to get the game. I really like the Stewie mini-playfield.

Simpsons and Family guy would be great, are they both on systems that have been emulated by Farsight?

Edit, just checked ipdb, Simpsons is a whitestar so is do-able but Family guy is S.A.M. which hasn't been emulated yet so not do-able at this time.

My local bowling alley has one. Somehow, it's always hard for me to get that final wizard mode in. Really fun to play, though

Understatement of the year, given that TSPP's Super Duper Mega Extreme Wizard Mode is generally believed to be the hardest wizard mode to reach in all of pinball.

They have one at the chuck e. Cheese here no replays given as it's a redemption machine.

This is probably the table I want the most on PBA, but it seems like a long shot (a REALLY long shot)

 

[Clawhammer]

TSPP is one of the best modern Sterns in my opinion. Very deep rules. It does seem to be plagued by maintenance issues on location though.

 

[Squid]

Simpsons? Deep rule set? Hell yeah, sign me up!

 

[karl]

TSPP is gonna a be a hit on TPA. Only played it once but fun it was. I would not hesitate to help kickstart this into tpa heaven

Do they still need a kickstarter for all licenses?

Make all tables 50 cent more expensive and then they could do more tables, without the endless waiting for a kickstarted table.

RBION, HD, MB, CFTBL, EATPM and Scared Stiff are all licensed and were done without a kickstarter.

Luckily, this one was. I got 3 replay-scores and 3number-match replays over the course of 20 paid games, so not bad altogether.

Chuck E Cheese in my town has one. Unfortunately the table is a mess in serious need of maintenance.

I assume the Simpsons license would be more expensive than all of those combined.

On the bright side it was only a single token per play

I'm pretty sure they are pricy but they are well past their prime now. They might be abke to work something out

 

[ER777]

There are a couple Simpsons Pinball Party machines around here, both in decent working condition. It is a really fun table. I would gladly support a kickstarter to get it into TPA.
