From a joke video game to real and playable

Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge is a sports game app heavily inspired by an episode of the renowned cartoon series, The Simpsons. The game was first introduced in an episode of the series, titled Marge Be Not Proud, wherein the characters described it as a boring ass game. However, the comically depicted golf game app made such an impact on the viewers that developer Aaron Demeter turn it into a reality. Now, fans of the show can experience playing the game in real life.

A ridiculously boring but entertaining game

In The Simpson, Bart received Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge as a Christmas gift from Marge. It is already described as a bit of a downfall since Bart wanted the Bonestorm game, which unfortunately is sold out. The episode described the game as a deliberately terrible golf game. Bart tried to make it exciting by using the power drive setting for a putt and sent the ball flying to the parking lot. However, in the end, it does not measure up tp Bart's idea of fun, and he got bored with it.

Its game core mechanics in real-life is not far from what the series had shown. You will have to putt the golf ball withLee Carvallo making suggestions for your swing. At the same time, the input is also relatively simple. You will only need to select choices and insert some numbers to swing. Usually, Carvallo will always suggest going for the Feather Touch.

From pixelated game art design to fun character dialogues, this fan-made recreation totally nails everything. No wonder it also got the attention of Bill Oakley—The Simpsons writer. He even posted the game on his personal Twitter account and encouraged all Simpsons fans to check out and play the joke game’s first and only the playable version in real life.
