Colorful, animated, kooky...FOX's notorious yellow family inhabits Stern Pinball's latest: THE SIMPSONS KOOKY CARNIVAL, a coin roll-down redemption game for one player. Intentionally designed with a very small footprint and easy service in mind, THE SIMPSONS KOOKY CARNIVAL includes several mechanical features for the coin to roll into, including a 3-D Homer-Head that holds a coin-accepting donut in his mouth, Bart on a skateboard protecting the entrance to the Screamatorium and Comic Book Guy sitting in a dunk tank taunting the player to dunk him by rolling a coin into his bucket. Each of the characters represent a different letter. Homer is W, Bart is I, and Comic Book Guy is N. Spell WIN and the player receives the Kooky Bonus Award.

The software for THE SIMPSONS KOOKY CARNIVAL was designed to get the most tickets into the players' hands while still rewarding the operator. It not only features original dialogue performed by the show's voice actors but includes more dialogue than any other redemption game on the market. It also includes THE SIMPSONS theme song, as well as many authentic carnival sounds.

Gary Stern states, "By utilizing a title we also licensed for pinball, we have much more art, speech and title knowledge from the pinball than one would do for a redemption game alone. We end up with a really fun filled game."
