Has any television show featured more memorable video game moments than The Simpsons? Lee Carvallo’s Putting Challenge, Bonestorm, and we can’t forget Death Kill City II: Death Kill Stories. Milhouse trying to enter Thrillhouse as his name, and only being able to fit in Thrillho. Ah… gold Jerry. Gold. Well, Complex has put together an amazing collection of all the video game moments on The Simpsons – including some I had completely forgotten about.
It’s just another example of the huge breadth and scale of The Simpsons in general. It’s also pretty interesting to see how games have been represented in the show as time and technology has progressed. I’ve just spent the last half hour looking through all these clips. It’s great stuff.

Provide evidence why not or I will just assume that The Simpsons predicts the future.

Monday, July 18, 2011 at 2:02 PMBecause Bonestorm was a fighting game more like Mortal Kombat, and not a first person shooter?
Fun fact: Bonestorm has become my go-to terminology for when I am referring to a lot of sex, e.g.: Compared to the romance options in Mass Effect 2, Dragon Age 2 is a veritable bonestorm.

Monday, July 18, 2011 at 2:22 PMAlso the Bonestorm commercial is clear evidence that The Simpsons’ writers studied their Sega commercials in the 90s
