A line of video games have been made based on The Simpsons' and its characters, particularly the eponymous family, due to the show's popularity. To date, 24 games have been developed and published by numerous video game companies. Although the first association of the Simpsons in gaming began with an LCD game titled Bart Simpson's Cupcake Crisis, The Simpsons: The Arcade Game by Konami released in Arcade and DOS was the first video game for the franchise.
Simpsons video games have spanned all sorts of video game genres and systems, including The Simpsons: Hit & Run, The Simpsons Road Rage, The Simpsons Skateboarding, The Simpsons: Virtual Springfield, Bart vs. The Juggernauts and Krusty's Fun House. The recent generation has been somewhat more well-received by the general public, starting with The Simpsons Road Rage (based on Crazy Taxi): There have been two Simpsons pinball games; one released after the first season, and the other still available.
Vivendi Universal Games, the publisher of recent Simpsons games, announced shortly after the release of The Simpsons: Hit & Run that there was a sequel in the works. However, no news or any development has been announced since then. The plans by Vivendi to create a sequel were no doubt cancelled when Arts Electronic Arts announced in November 2005, that they would purchase the exclusive licensing rights to publish future Simpsons video game titles, including a potential tie-in to the upcoming Simpsons feature film, as Electronic Arts has successfully overseen many film-to-video game projects.of The Simpsons video games#cite note-0 [1]
