UK Machine Record
The Simpsons
Data East · 1990 · at 1 UK venue.
The Simpsons brings the residents of Springfield to Data East pinball, with Homer, Bart, Marge, Lisa and Maggie forming the centre of the game.
The machine uses locations and characters from the television series to create a collection of objectives, while the playfield features familiar Simpsons imagery throughout.
It is a chaotic game, but there is a method underneath the madness. Choose your Springfield objective and stick with it; otherwise Homer will have you shooting at everything.

Center drops lites locks. Lock location will change in subsequent multiballs. Relock for jackpot. MILLIONS progresses in multiball on ramp.

No tutorials for this machine
We only list videos from a short list of channels we rate, and we never run a search to fill the gap — so most machines have none here rather than a page of whatever YouTube would have returned.
Nobody we follow has reviewed this one
Same short list of channels as the tutorials. A machine with no review here has not been passed over — it simply hasn’t been covered by anyone we list.
