![]() I personally like later seasons for viewing, but for this pin, it captures a cool snapshot of what this show was originally. Therefore the awesome Homer comedy we all know from the Simpsons show is mostly replaced in this pin by Bart's rebellious catchphrases which were what drew so much attention to this show in the first place. The artwork is awesome and is obviously Season 1 artwork as evident from Bart's mouth on the side to Homer on the Millions graphic however, this means that the dialogue is also Bart-centric as Homer isn't the primary focus in Season 1 like he is in later seasons. but Simpsons first does a 2-ball multi and then you have to lock those both to get 3-ball!) but also adds in other objectives (hit the ramp 2x in a row, light up millions, Bart's enemies bonus.etc) to keep you thinking about what you should do next to get a high score.

The music is fast paced which keep in line with the speed of the game. It has a good main play theme that turns to a rock theme during multiball, and also uses Elfman's main theme motif during the Jackpot mode music. ![]() The music is superb - *if* you like The Simpsons theme, which I do. At the same time, Sideshow Bob is still Krusty's sidekick! The mirrored backglass is very pretty and an excellent example of on-model Simpsons characters. Many different areas of the playfield focus on a highlight of a specific first season episode. The artwork integration of the first season of The Simpsons all over the playfield is really well done. The game is very fast, and somewhat difficult - maintaining a multiball on such a fast table and then being forced to hit a ramp shot is very challenging.
