So Who's Left? Characters That Have Yet to Appear in Tapped Out...

Doesn't Birch Barlow have a radio show on KBBL?

    Speaking of exes, how about an appearance by one of Marge's former beaus? Considering how in this past year Tapped Out has featured a large amount of meta-humor about being inside an app game, the arrival of a software billionaire would fit right in. Perhaps his level could feature him starting an EA-like company and creating his own app games, only to have him lose everything due to hacker. He would come packaged with his mansion.


    Did I call it, or what?

    Anyway, I was really enjoying reading the feedback on this thread, and I started thinking: what about the obscure characters? There are a couple of characters who only appeared once, who only got one or two scenes, that I would dig seeing added to this game anyway.

    He only appeared in the Season 17 episode "The Girl Who Slept Too Little," but the character has fascinated me nonetheless. He'd be an excellent addition during a Halloween event; he could have tasks digging graves at both cemeteries. And I'd love to hear about the apparent feud between him and his cousin Willy.

    The House of Evil Shopkeeper
    I'm not giving up on this. We have the shop, so why not the shopkeeper?

    Dr. Colossus
    He's made several cameos in the series, and the allure of adding a supervillain to the game's cast is too good to pass up. What it, at some point, we had a superhero update (much like they did recently in FGQFS)? Think about the possibilities: Bartman, Pieman, the Collector, Fruit Bat Man, Stretch Dude and Clobber Girl, etc. Colossus would fit in just fine. Also, if Skull Mountain isn't added, maybe he could get a few quests in Scorpio's mountain lair?

    We have the Khlav Kalash stand, but no one to run it. I'd love to see this guy selling Crab Juice in my town!

    Same deal -- we have the Devil Donuts stand and the Cool Brown House, but no one to work or live there. I'd like to see him return.
  • We can't forget the currently most annoying npc

  • I think the most likely characters to be added in the near future are:

    Level:
    Helen Lovejoy
    Jessica Lovejoy

    Level (Maybe 50):
    Cookie Kwan
    Lindsey Naegle
    w/ Red Blazer Realty

    This would be a great opportunity for a landmark level update with a large land expansion. Possibly an entire 2nd "West Side" map.

    Misc:
    Sarah Wiggum
    Lunchlady Doris
    Jacqueline Bouvier
    * Krustofski (I think this will be contingent who dies in the season premier)


    Next most likely to turn up soonish:

    Level:
    Benjamin
    Doug
    Gary
    w/ Springfield University
    Springfield A&M University Pig

    Level:
    Lance Murdock
    Daredevil Bart Costume
    w/Springfield Gorge
    Truckasaurus

    Level:
    Radioactive Man
    Fallout Boy Costume for Milhouse
    Dr. Colossus

    Misc:
    Ruth Powers
    Mrs. Muntz
    Judge Constance Harm w/ Houseboat


    Eventually:

    Misc:
    Jebediah Springfield
    Larry Burns
    Laddie
    Llewellyn Sinclair
    Wendell
    Lewis
    Hamm
    Janey
    Allison Taylor
    Ms. Pommelhorst
    Plopper/Spider Pig
    Principal Dondelinger
    Herb Powell

    Level:
    7 Duffs
    w/ Duff Gardens addition to Krustyland


    Wishful thinking but feasible:

    Misc:
    Gil
    Sideshow Bob
    Laura Powers

    Level:
    Maggie
    Baby Gerald

    Any Phil Hartman characters:
    Troy McClure
    Lionel Hutz
    Lyle Lanley

    Matt Groening has REPEATEDLY said they retired all of those characters out of respect so I think it's very unlikely we'll ever see them because of that alone. But you never know...
  • I think it is possible that we could get Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz since they still appear in the Simpsons comics but yea it is wishful thinking we'll just have to wait and see
