Talk:List of The Simpsons video games

Listing
Could someone please do a list, or even better, a table, including all the Simpsons games? It wouldn't be so hard. Currently the article is worthless if you want to find a The Simpsons Game fast. You could probably have a table including name, year of release, systems released to and developer. Ran4 18:16, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

EA games
so do EA now the have the rights to the simpson games?

Door game
I recall that there was a (most definitely unofficial and unlicensed) Simpsons BBS door game. Does anyone have any information on that? 204.69.40.7 18:29, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Simpsons video games.jpg
Image:Simpsons video games.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Unofficial games
Mr Scorpion0422, either don't revert adding unofficial games or clearly state that NO unofficial games are allowed in this list. Give some RULE and follow it. This is an article in encyclopedia, not your sandbox. Alone Coder (talk) 16:45, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * This is an encyclopedia, not a chance to promote fan-made games that get less than 100 google hits. The fact that it is called "List of The Simpsons video games" (NOT "List of video games featuring characters from The Simpsons) and the fact that the lead says "The Simpsons video games are a line of official video games that use the characters from the animated television show The Simpsons" are more than enough and I am pretty sure that MOST people would get the idea that the list only includes official games. -- Scorpion 0422  16:47, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. Alone Coder (talk) 18:12, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Mr Alone Coder, Scorpion is completely right, and I suggest you read Notability. -- The Le ft orium  17:03, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Notability is about article topics, not list entries. Would you ask for notability for every word in, say, List of English words containing Q not followed by U? Alone Coder (talk) 18:12, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes. There is a notability inclusion criteria for that list, it needs to be in a major English language dictionary. -- Scorpion 0422  19:48, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The titles I've included were in a major software database. Moreover, entries of this list are not supposed to be in anything major. Alone Coder (talk) 18:28, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Removal of sourced content
Why was Bart Simpsons Cupcake Crisis reverted without any explanation? It was sourced and relevant. The game is a video game and it relates to the Simpsons. I can't see a problem with including it. -Thibbs (talk) 23:05, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think it looked fine and should be re-added. Gary King  ( talk ) 23:09, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

It's most likely not an official game because there have only been 22 official ones (hence why the original name of The Simpsons Game was Simpsons 22). This list is only for official games. -- Scorpion 0422  23:14, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * What do you mean by "official"? -Thibbs (talk) 23:17, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Officially licensed by the show. -- Scorpion 0422  23:24, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * What makes you think Bart Simpsons Cupcake Crisis wasn't? I assume Acclaim would have been sued if it was making unlicensed use of copyrighted material. -Thibbs (talk) 23:26, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, well I've replaced it seeing as though it appears to me to be "official." I added two references to show that it's not just some fan-created game as I see from the above discussion that this is a concern for you (I think that's a legitimate restriction to the list, by the way, for what it's worth). One of the references I used is the text that is written on the game itself. Anyway, I hope this satisfies you. -Thibbs (talk) 01:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * If Cupcake is an official game, then maybe one of the other items in the list are not official? Gary King  ( talk ) 02:05, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * (outdent) I don't think the fact that The Simpsons Game was allegedly called Simpsons 22 before production is proof that only 21 "official" games had come before. It's quite conceivable to me that the 22 stands for something else or that they didn't count the "official" handhelds or any number of other reasons. If we're to use this Simpsons 22 theory as proof then we'll need some sources otherwise it's just FRINGE -Thibbs (talk) 02:20, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Allegedly? You think I would make that up?  And wait a second, if we're counting handhelds, why are you picking and choosing? There have been over a dozen handheld devices released, and including them is opening a bad can of worms. The list should be limited to console games. --  Scorpion 0422  02:59, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I don't think you made it up. I think that you alleged it without a source. Please calm down. Your source appears to be of borderline reliability and it certainly doesn't support your view that the game was called Simpsons XXII in reference to the (only) 21 "official" games that came before it. If you would like to add more handhelds then feel free to. Just remember to include proper citations. -Thibbs (talk) 03:28, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
