  The Simpsons (arcade game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Simpsons is an arcade game produced by Konami in 1991.
Although the game is one of many beat 'em up produced after Final Fight, it contained many innovations, including the option for two players to team up and attack enemies in tandem, with the exact attack differing slightly depending on which two characters were being used.
The game featured two occurrences of a minigame between two of the levels, in which players competed against each other to be the first to finish a task (inflating a balloon shaped like their character in the first game, waking up their character in the second).

Vivendi Universal Games, the publisher of recent Simpsons games, announced shortly after the release of The Simpsons Hit and Run that there was a sequel in the works.

It seems that this game was made before the first season was finished (Or at least the people who worked on the game hadn't seen all of the episodes yet).

The Simpsons has been seen by many critics as one of the finest television shows ever; it was named the best television series of the 20th century by TIME magazine in 1998, and it made the top 10 on TV Guide's list of the greatest shows of all time in 2002.
This was the first and one of the few times The Simpsons have strayed from their traditional 2D animation, and the longest, as other moments consisted of live action couch gags or short claymation or CGI television and film parodies.
The most well-regarded Simpsons game is The Simpsons: Hit and Run, which incorporated the free-roaming environment made popular by the Grand Theft Auto series as well as the involvement of The Simpsons writing staff, creating an authentic, interactive Springfield that was praised by critics and the fanbase alike.
