Game Information
|
Touch of Death is a video arcade game, seen at the Noiseland Video Arcade and at the Zip Zap and 'Za Pizza Arcade.
Description
Touch of Death is a fighting game. Evidently, it is a more mature game as the title screen has the word "death" written in dripping blood and underneath the title can be seen what appears to be the Grim Reaper.
History
When Bart signed up for karate lessons, he used the money for the lessons to play Touch of Death instead. He later bragged that "Touch of Death" was a move he had learned during his lessons, and threatened to use it on Lisa. The deception backfired (and Bart was caught out) when Dolph, Jimbo and Kearney stole Lisa's saxophone and played keep-away with it. Lisa then sicced Bart on the bullies, warning them that he knew karate. Not really having any karate skills, Bart was at a loss and ended up being stuffed through a basketball hoop.
Behind the Laughter
- Touch of Death is a parody of arcade fighting games in general, most likely of the Street Fighter series.
- Although the game's premise and gameplay bear a strong resemblance to the Mortal Kombat series, it cannot specifically be a parody of that franchise, as Touch of Death first appeared on The Simpsons in 1990 and the first Mortal Kombat game didn't come out until 1992.
