I grew up with the Simpsons and love the execution of this game. I'll probably miss it, but it is time for it to find a new home (I'm looking to replace it with a Stern Jurassic Park LE). I'm the second owner and bought it 9 years ago and wanted a HUO example of the game (the sales receipt to the original owner from January 2004 is included among the documentation). It is very clean (witness the inside of the cabinet, inside of the lockdown bar, even the back of the game, etc). I've only done a few mods to it: a Color DMD, 5.0 code update, NVRAM, and a Tournament button with Cliffy's relocation kit, plus the tournament topper (the topper was not actually installed, though, but mounting hardware is included). Just going over the game to take pics for this sale reminded me of how nearly pristine this game is. The glass slides in and out smoothly, the playfield raises like it did when new without scraping the inside edges, the back glass removes and the speaker panel slots right in like it should. I've owned plenty of machines in the past where much of this wasn't the case, although granted they were probably routed games, rather than HUO examples.

Everything looks great on the game. It has no wear to speak of. I installed flipper and start button protectors when I first bought the game, which you have to look very closely to even notice. It's rare to find a TSPP like this with no wear around the start button or flipper buttons. I would estimate that I've put ~500 games on it in 9 years of ownership. I don't know this for sure, since the game was in the 2023 state championship tournament for NJ, and I believe it was unfortunately reset to factory defaults by the folks running the tournament, which reset both the game-play count and high scores.

I'm asking $7500 for it. I'd consider a trade for a Jurassic Park LE. Maybe even for a FunHouse LE.

If you're not local, setting up shipping is the responsibility of the buyer, but I can pack the game nicely, and even help with getting a shipping quote. I have shipped 20+ pins over the years, many of which were rare and valuable games, and I go overboard with packing them to do my best to ensure that they arrive in the same condition that they leave me in.

Please reach out with any questions.

Thanks,
Mark
