This game shows that density and hidden details in mapS are better than one big map with nothing much to do in half of it. Great video, that audio mic quality is making me jealous.

[@anthonya.jumelles7103]

My favorite example of that is the signs you see that say "Don't eat beef" and then you keep driving and a little bit later you see a sign that says "Eat deer". The game is jampacked with tiny details that help it breathe.

[@frizzyrascal1493]

@@MGrey-qb5xz The map isn't that bad...the City area is fun but there should have been a 2nd one in the west/east of the map Paleto Bay and Sandy Shores have no real purpose after the story is finished. Hope GTA 6 won't follow the bigger the better trend further. A map as big as GTA V but with a much bigger urban area.

As a kid who was obsessed with early Simpsons, the amount of easter eggs and references in this game was amazing. All the cars and costumes being straight from the show was perfect as well. Great vid 👍

[@jj9599]

My only exposure of hit and run was at the hospital ( was in and out of hospital for my chronic illness), they had a starlight console system with a ps2 and a gamecube inside. I used to sit for hours on that thing to distract me from the long stays in hospital, thats why this game is so near and dear to my heart.

"SImpson's themed toybox" was exactly how I played it as a kid. Aside from doing all the missions I'd often just play around and explore the world or act out some nonsense plot in my mind using the game. I really loved it

In the UK, Simpsons Hit and Run has the record for being the second longest game in history to remain consistantly in the Top 20 charts... Over three years. Second only to Robocop on the ZX Spectrum/Amstrad/C64 of all things. DId Radical also do the much hated SImpsons Skateboarding? They really loved jumping on the popularity bandwagon back then!

[@minimme]

Actually Skateboarding was made by a company named The Code Monkeys - I think Radical were a little too competent to release that game! haha

I didn’t get new games often when I was a kid so when my parents got me Hit and Run as a treat for being good at the dentist when I had some teeth taken out, I felt like the luckiest kid in the world. They even let me have the rest of the day off school to play it! Next day I went into school and there was a popular kid saying he had the game and he was talking about all these features that I knew weren’t in it so I called him out on it and he was proper embarrassed. Hit and Run will always be one of my childhood favourites. I replay it once a year. The atmosphere is palpable! The music (which you criminally didn’t mention!) is insanely catchy and fits the tone so well. And that gameplay is so fast and crazy addicting. Every time I replay it I end up blitzing the whole thing and getting 100% in a couple days. It’s that damn good

[@Colou]

Fun fact: The show's writers didn't actually write the dialog for this game at all, that was just a marketing ploy. Instead, it was written almost entirely by a guy called Chris Mitchell who worked at Radical Entertainment. Arguably he did a better job than the _actual_ writers.

[@thefinnishchamp]

It was a GTA clone at a time when that was very unique for a kids game. Nowadays open worlds are common (even in kids games with stuff like Lego) but back then it was really cool. Also Simpsons were hugely popular

As a Kiwi who is rounding out his third year living in Canada, I got an abnormally great sense of joy from the phrase "mucking around" that you dropped at 40 seconds. Thank you for the nostalgic blast :)

[@lewis8552]

I never completed this game as a kid because of the last mission, only level that wasn't skippable I think. When I went back to it completed it first try, I was dreading that level for my whole playthrough getting PTSD flashbacks to missing the alien ship by like a second and remembering the pure frustration I was having as a kid. Being able to complete it so much easily when I was older rubbed salt into the wound, no joy, just disappointment in child me.
