subject: The Simpsons Pinball Machine Is Here [print this page] Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Maggie, and a host of other familiar characters have been enchanting (and alarming) television audiences for 20 years, and it is the longest-running primetime animated series in television history. It has even earned its own Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and has received 18 Emmy's, a Peabody, 16 Annie Awards, and a Golden Glove nomination. Thankfully, there doesn't seem to be any sign of this cultural phenomenon coming to an end any time in the near future.
As with many other popular television shows throughout the years, The Simpsons has spawned a host of merchandise, from clothing to posters to games. One game in particular stands out from the rest: The Simpsons Pinball Party, released by Stern Pinball Inc. (the only manufacturer of pinball machines in the world today) in 2003. This is the second Simpsons pinball machine, the first being "The Simpsons", introduced in 1990 by Data East Pinball, Stern's predecessor.
