Description:
You find yourself in a strange place, a town square surrounded by buildings that are oddly familiar. As you turn around, you realize that you are face to face with the bronzed image of founding father Jebediah Springfield. This is no ordinary town, this is Springfield, USA...Virtual style. Welcome to the home of Moe's Tavern, Krustylu Studios, the Aztec Theatre and, oh yes, the Simpsons. Law and order as you know it no longer apply, you are a Springfieldian now. Enjoy the patronage of Apu Nahasapeemapetilon's Kwik-E-Mart, or the solitude of the Public Library. Discover that membership has its privileges at the Stonecutter's Lodge, or on a visit to C. Montgomery Burns Executive Wash Room. That is, if you are resourceful enough to find the keys to do so... As a virtual tax paying citizen you should enjoy the opportunity to check in on Mayor "Diamond" Joe Quimby, or visit Seymour Skinner and the staff at the Elementary School. The Elm Street Arcade offers a variety of games for you to waste your not so hard-earned virtual money. Whereas the Aztec Theatre offers quality family fare in the form of the latest McBain movie, but beware of airborne sugary sweets. From the safety of Bart's Treehouse, exercise your right to soak passers-by with a barrage of water balloons. Or, while visiting Homer's office at work, waste some time, and consume countless donuts, working the control panels in Sector 7G. Designed in close cooperation with Simpsons creator Matt Groening, "The Simpsons: Virtual Springfield", recreates the environment of the Simpsons using the incredible voice talents of the entire regular cast of the smash-hit Fox TV series, as well as some special guest stars. You will experience first hand a tongue-lashing from Mr. Burns, or gain valuable food for thought from Homer and the family. The streets of Springfield have been meticulously recreated in three dimensions, allowing you to amble right up to Moe's Tavern, or to boldly explore every nook and cranny of the Simpson House (not forgetting to rummage through their mail before you enter). Once inside one of the interior interactive locations, the two dimensional world of the Simpsons is lovingly recreated. Thumb through Homer and Marge's Yearbook, search in Bart's closet, or under his bed...if you dare!

Hello fellow humans!
Bartholomew J. Simpsons here, with a very important secret:
Space Mutants are Invading Springfield!
That's right, man! A buncha slimy, horrible totally gross and putrid monsters are taking over the bodies of people who live here and they wanna build a weapon that's gonna take over the entire planet!
Pretty cool, huh?
Anyway, yours truly is the only one who can see 'em 'cause of my X-ray glasses - so it's up to me to stop 'em! I've gotta spraypaint things, get radical on my skateboard, use my trusty slingshot, and in general behave like a nuisance, man. Plus, with evil dudes like Nelson the bully and Sideshow Bob getting in my way, it's a good thing I've got the rest of the Simpsons to help me out! So if you're a decent person, a patriot, and somebody who cares about this sorry planet, you'll do the right thing.
Save the Earth! BUY THIS GAME!
Thanks, man.

The Game of Life - Simpsons Edition, puts the "fun" in dysfunctional! Will you get an education or a cool tatoo? Maybe you'll invent the Flaming Moe, drive the monorail or raise tomacco. Just beware of all-syrup super-Squishees, Quetzlzacatengo peppers and the exotic wiles of Princess Kashmir. Make your mark on Whacking Day and you might retire to Monty Burn's Manor!
From the press release;
Featuring the outrageous humor of America's favorite animated family, the co-branded Game of Life: The Simpsons Edition seamlessly incorporates Simpsons characters and environments. For instance, the Teacher Salary/Career Card reads "You get the special benefits for this career, but not the salary. That figures." Players can also opt to purchase a Heavenly Tract House described as a "clean, well-maintained, splendiddly home". In addition, the playing board references some of the most popular Simpsons episodes and themes, at one turn instructing players to sleep in and miss their college graduation, and at another informing them of an unwanted visit from sisters-in-law. That's life, Simpsons-style!

So, did the kids tear open their holiday gifts and they threw away the instructions with the gift wrap in the holiday rush? Do you have this game but are missing the instructions? Hasbro has put the instructions online! They can be found on the Hasbro web site in PDF format here!

For 2 - 6 Players

Unlike many of The Simpson Trivia games, there's no need for Simpson expertise to play and enjoy this game. Game includes (and we quote, from reverse of the box); "1 lame gameboard, 1 dumb spinner, 400 ridiculous questions on 20 stupid cards, $140.00 of worthless fake money, 60 non-dietary junk food tokens, 30 loser character cards, 6 even more loser-like pawns, [and] confusing instructions. What were you expecting anyway?"

From Amazon: Losers of the world, unite! In the Simpson's Loser Takes All Game, players travel around the board and ask themselves some of life's most important questions. "Can I flip my eyelids up?" "Have I ever photocopied a body part?" Here's the catch: another player has to predict what your answer will be. If your answers are different, you lose a Character card. And in this game, that's a good thing. If the two answers match, the other player gets to lose a Character card. The player with the least amount of points accumulated from Junk Food Tokens, Fake Money, and Character cards, is the loser--and wins the game. Homer would be so proud!

With seven different games playing simultaneously on one board, each with its own set of rules. The Simpson board game is an hilariously funny, fast paced, non-stop action board game!
You never know where you will be sent, you could find yourself clocking into the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant of taking part in a Springfield Elementary School field trip. You may visit the Kwik-E-Mart, take Principal Skinner's IQ Test, perform Karaoke at Moe's Tavern or even be elected Mayor, giving you control over all the other players!
At the centre of the board and the centre of the action is The Simpsons front family room. As you perform assorted tasks and stunts, you are issued tokens, you deposit these on the front room carpet. When the carpet is full, the game is over and the winner is the player with the most tokens!
A great fun family game of tactics, luck and performing ability!

Chief Wiggum finds wealthy industrialist Charles Montgomery Burns dead, and it looks like foul play in Springfield. In a typical display of incompetence, Wiggum rounds up six likely suspects: Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Krusty the Clown and Waylon Smithers and gives them 24 hours to clear their names in a real life game of Clue. The fingered suspects try to figure out who killed Mr. Burns, where the crime occurred and what weapon was used. Was it Bart Simpson as Professor Plum in the Kwik-E-Mart with the Poisoned Donut? Or was it Krusty the Clown as Colonel Mustard in Barney's Bowl-A-Rama with the Plutonium Rod?
Suspects: Homer Simpson as Mr. Green, Marge Simpson as Mrs. Peacock, Bart Simpson as Professor Plum, Lisa Simpson as Miss Scarlet, Krusty the Clown as Colonel Mustard, Waylon Smithers as Mrs. White.
Weapons (in Pewter): Poisoned Donut, Necklace, Slingshot, Saxophone, Extend-O-Glove and Plutonium Rod.
Crime Scenes: Barney's Bowl-A-Rama, The Simpson House, Burn's Manor, Krustylu Studios, The Frying Dutchman, Springfield Retirement Castle, The Android's Dungeon, Nuclear Power Plant and the Kwik-E-Mart.

There are multiple editions of this game supplied in a cardboard box, described below, and one newer edition, in a tin, described above. The first one has pewter weapons and suspects. The second has six painted 3-D characters to use as tokens - Homer, Marge, Smithers, Krusty, Bart and Lisa. The first edition has "Ages 8 to adult" on the top left corner of the cover; the second has a broad yellow stripe along the bottom of the front cover with "Ages 8 to adult" on the lower left. The most obvious difference; the second edition says "2nd Edition" in an oval on the lower right corner of the front cover. The second edition was released originally by USAopoly but is now made by Parker Brothers / Hasbro.

Do you have this game but haven't a Clue as to where you've put the instructions? Questioning Miss Scarlet in the Lounge may prove interesting but may not yield the needed information. Fret no more! Hasbro has placed the instructions online. They can be found on the Hasbro web site in PDF format here!
