The Complete History Of Video Games On "The Simpsons"

Pachinko
Episode: "The Canine Mutiny"
Original Air Date: Apr. 13, 1997
Also Appears In: N/A
Genre: Japanese sensory overload
Complex Says: Before you say it—yes, we know pachinko's not exactly a video game in the classic sense of the word. But it's way more qualified than Whack-a-Mole or Skee-Ball. Besides, we have a soft spot for The Simpsons' perennially weird (and quasi-racist) take on Asian culture. YOU A WINNA, HA HA HA! YOU A WINNA, HA HA HA! It's no Mr. Sparkle commercial, but it'll do in a pinch.

Lee Travino's putting challenge? How could you miss that?

It was Lee Carvello's Putting Challenge, and yes, that's a glaring omission.

Gentlemen, there was no video of Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge—but if you got to the end of the list, you'd see that the game was included on the mater list.

Complex list are always retarded and not researched very well. Leaving out Lee Carvello's Putting Challenge is standard Complex.
