This is an amazing pinball machine. Though it hovers near the top 10 on most all lists I believe this pin is underrated. Take out all the people who have 50 or less plays on the machine and I believe it would be near the top 5 of every list.
The rules of this game are what really set it apart, it has a very deep and complex rule set. Combine that with a variety of modes, tons of shots, good toys but great mini play field you have an excellent pin that you want to play over and over.
There is nothing like stacking 2 or 3 game modes, then stacking a multiball, then stacking another multiball in conjunction with 2x scoring while going for double, triple, sixtuple or super jackpots!
One downside would be that due to budget restraints they could only hire 3 voice actors. While you have voices from Homer, Bart, Apu, Willie, Grandpa and others you are missing Marge, Lisa, Mr. Burns, Millhouse etc. Doesn't take away from the game, but it could have been that much better.
