That’s the one! Soccer theme was polarizing in 1994 too, though I happen to love the theme, as well as the design! Been wanting to own this game for awhile.

That was awesome. Best one of … those I’ve seen.

I didn’t do a great job of documenting the process, but there are roughly two years of scattered photos in various stages on my Twitter. One day I’ll make a YouTube video about it!

Thanks a lot! It’s slowly getting dialed in and is aaallmost at the point where it plays like a commercial game! Also - gonna hit you with that new Homer script tonight!

Haha. That door didn’t see it coming. Will install ladder at window!

Ah yes I love this one! This song’s been stuck in my head for 35 years. (There’s a video on YouTube where someone tries to figure out the bizarre time signature of this tune)

Haha, thanks Iris! It’s a project that makes my child-self proud :)

This is very true, and I’m well aware of the danger I’ve created. But the joke was too hard to pass up (plus I need to shave and I lost my charger.)

Hahaha. In my rule I shall be kind to my fellow creatives!

Haha I totally used that exact GIF as reference 😆

Thanks! It took two years, and was such a foreign undertaking to me that I didn’t have the capacity to thoroughly document it. I did take some photos along the way though, and plan to put together a video about it on my channel sometime soon-ish!

Agreed - I had never dug into the EM machines either!
comment in response to post
I hope so too!

Thanks so much. You’re bang on: I’m at just under 2 years right now. And still at least several more months to iron out the gameplay and get the software to a respectable place!

Haha indeed! Tried to capture that spirit, without copying any part of it specifically. Crazy fact though too: despite my pinball fandom, I somehow have never actually seen a Simpsons Pinball party IRL!
comment in response to post
Thanks! Whole family came together to play it for its first time :)
comment in response to post
Thanks! I’ll be making a proper video about it, yup!
comment in response to post
If it helps lift your spirits a little, your videos have helped me understand electronics over the years, and played an active and critical role in allowing me to build a homemade pinball machine. To put it simply: couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you.

Thanks!! I am just under 2 years into the project now, with still more to go. I kept work slow and steady, as to not burn myself out (I did get fatigued once, and took a month away from it). This is easily the biggest undertaking I’ve ever taken on, so pacing was important!

Thanks so much!
