Brandon Murphy is a king for dumping the ROM and donating the files instead of just selling it to a collector for thousands. Rest in peace

[@wolfhaley1170]

This is how I feel about anyone who donates instead of selling to a private collector. Especially when it comes to gaming, things will just get lost in people's crappy collections just so they can sell it down the line for another person to keep it in their collection hidden away. It's gross and things like that need to be preserved!

[@scourgemeltface]

​@@wolfhaley1170nothing gross about a collection and if someone has a one of a kind rare item that other people want then their collection definitely isn't crappy. And collectors are preserving things, if it weren't for collectors 90 percent of all toys and games would end up in a landfill

[@Kass401]

for real man, i'm left feeling sad now!

[@cmayk]

I'm just sitting here, playing this video in the background and suddenly hear about a dude getting murdered and his apartment burned. Total whiplash

[@GamingSerb]

Apparently articles online of Angus Wallen saying he died, and a incident report around the same time implying he died from gambling some dudes radio so he got strangled while taking a deuce.

[@Klonkus]

No good deed

[@Benny-zw9lm]

RIP Brandon Murphy Look into his case online. I just found a thread on a gaming forum in which his mother posted about his passing. And found his memorial page via wayback. Really sad. Poor family.

[@jaymundo223]

Very sad to hear about the guy who helped bring raisins to the people rather than individual sale 💔

[@MINI_91]

The part with Bio Force Ape releasing a fart attack so powerful it corrupted the game combined with the screenshot of it...my sides went into orbit.

[@tobiwonkanogy2975]

chaotic story where every broken copy is just a red herring .

[@parkinsonwhite5116]

Maaaan I will never forget getting my PS2 on Christmas Day 2003, with a copy of Simpson’s Hit & Run. I fell in love with it immediately.

[@SporeRose]

It's insane how much time and effort goes into recovering lost media in any form.

[@ZeranZeran]

I wish I could thank the people that do this personally, but I think the best way is probably to just donate. Sounds silly, but one thing I'm most looking forward to when I work again is being able to afford to support good content creators. I love this channel, and they really do put so much work into their stuff. Same with all who find the lost media, get in contact with the designers, etc. It's a beautiful thing. Like a museum for our childhood nostalgia, and videogame enthusiasts around the world.

[@MegaZeta]

And pretty wretched how companies have convinced many people that selling cruddy revamps at full price is a form of "preservation", when it's usually used to block what needs to be preserved, e.g. _GTA Trilogy_ blocking access to the PC versions of those games, incredibly historically important, to anyone who hasn't bought them already.

[@Evilakuuuuu]

furst is the bessssttttt

[@feIon]

@@ZeranZeranyou don't have to thank them. just enjoy the media. it's why they chose to preserve it in the first place

[@RandalfElVikingo]

Looks better than a lot of trash VR from today.

[@MegaZeta]

@@RandalfElVikingo No, I assure you it absolutely does not. As the video explains, the rate was 15hz. Compared to even today's cheapo options for VR, it would "look" like a headache beam pointed at your eye.

@@MegaZeta I was talking about the design, looks better than those bulky headsets that hurt your neck.

[@lolocaust4967]

[@deftones8717]

Dude.. the amount of research this video must have required, with the level of depth and detail you went into, is seriously impressive. I just wanted to acknowledge how much work you must have put into this. Quality content!!

[@guiccosta04]

For real, I was about to say that Bio Force Ape's character animation was super smooth. Glad to know that it's one of its "selling" points (not that it was released ahah)

I sincerely enjoy the detective work that goes into these videos and tracking the games journey to being found

[@Jamesssssssssssssss]

That Sega VR headset looks kind of like something that was made today. The size is right, the headphones also look pretty similar to the ones we have built in now.

[@ARC60023]

I always find it fascinating how someone always manages to get their hands on early versions of games and even on cancelled projects. And most at the weirdest of places!

[@Quincy_Morris]

If the games are lost it means all the normal places have already been checked.

[@Sceptile-hw9uj]

Good video as always. I always listen/watch your videos whenever I am studying.

[@Tharir]

Always love to hear stories of what could have been. I remember spending so many hours on Hit and Run and would have loved to see a sequel. The things that could have been! Also, big gratulations to reaching your first subscriber goal!

[@sagacious03]

44:06 I wonder if that original document was hinting that Rare meant to make an adventure for Tooty, rather than just throwing her to the wayside for the rest of the whole franchise. Anyway, great video! Fascinating & informative! Thanks so much for uploading!

[@WhiteDragonTile]

Simpsons Hit&Run was such a fun game. It's a shame it never got a sequel or even remaster.

[@LadyBern]

I always remain shocked that there wasn't a hit and run 2 at least. They really understood the series and what would please the fans.

[@ZeranZeran]

I never played that game.. but literally every gamer I know has, and I've seen it being played so many times throughout my life, and even still. They could stand to make a boatload of money if they remastered it, and added more content. Would be really cool to see it become a PC game, and maybe a mobile game.. with NO IAP.

I wish game preservation was taken more seriously by developers, the AAA one's at least.

[@ZeranZeran]

Amen. I can't believe how many game devs just straight up.. did not care they lost all their work. If I spent time working on any game, I think I'd have a backup of everything at all times (secretly) and just quietly keep it for years after release. One day, years later when the laws die down, you could make millions of fans happy, and even breathe new life into an old series. It's beautiful. I wish they took it more seriously too. So amazed by what the people on this channel and across the web are capable of finding, the people they get in contact with, the interviews they set up, are really just so cool. Hey G4TV, This is what you should've been doing!

[@Etienne_H]

@@ZeranZeran The bigger issue is called licensing and copyright.. over years and many people involved it sprinkles all over the place and many dead roads, people who aren't reachable, died, companies that got acquired etc. So for indie devs it's actually easier.

[@DeaseNootz]

The fact you wish that at least AAA preservation was taken seriously and not everything else shows how seriously you want preservation to actually taken.

[@crazierr5468]

Man, a hit and run sequel could've really been interesting, considering it may have come out on the 7th gen consoles seeing the upgrades that would have come with it, that would have been dreamlike for young me.

[@jasonboldt5263]

Not usually a commenter, but I was made aware of this video from the DYKG update video from yesterday (7/30/23) and started bingeing a few videos. I couldn't believe how much love and passion went into The Simpsons: Hit and Run, and how massively influential that game was to me as a kid. It was one of the very first video games I ever played on my Xbox and it absolutely shaped the genre of games I love and seek. Even to this day, almost 20 years later, I still confidently feel that Hit and Run is my second favorite game of all time (second only to Risk of Rain 2). I eat up every bit of information DYKG can proclaim abut this game and I'm still devastated that we never got the sequel that the devs, evidently, really wanted to give us. Maybe someday, in this age of nostalgia that we live in, there may be some shred of hope for a proper sequel somewhere in the near or distant future... maybe...

[@markl5998]

[@Rokingofdance]

We need a hit and run 2 🥺🙏🏼💛

[@rickchop3887]

Bio force ape looks impressive , I feel like the game should have been released

[@adamtucker1896]

It unfortunately used 4 eeproms, where a large portion of the cartridge price came from, so if we give 20 dollars of the cost to the publisher/devs, and quality nes games costing around 60 dollars, it would need to be about 100 dollars per cart to be profitable, I'm not saying it's not an impressive and fun looking experience, just that it's more effective to make two different games with the same amount of chips, and sell them for 60 dollars each, I do lament they didn't try to bring it to the super nintendo though, hope this helps (eeproms are the big black integrated circuts inside your nes games, and even a huge game like Kirbys dreamland used two)

[@patrickbyrne5070]

@@adamtucker1896 it also looks like pretty boring level design. The 2 things it had going for it were the fluid n fast character movements and the crazy story/protagonist. But that enjoyment would only last so long…

[@MegaZeta]

_Bio Force Ape_ looks beautiful, but it probably would have bombed commercially. The adult Internet hobbyist of today might desire it. But the target market in 1991 of 8-to-10-year-olds, in the gap between _Donkey Kong_ and _Donkey Kong Country,_ wouldn't have turned up for a diaper-ape Famicom/NES game.

Thankfully all this tech has been mastered as of now. I DO want these modern games to face similar consequences to the point we can find them YEARS later and work them out, but each engine, console and game is so much bigger and complicated nowadays that I wonder how a "Gigaleak" would look of modern consoles.

[@jsteezus]

A gigaleak would contain half of a call of duty war zone map and some paid character skin data. We would be looking a Tera leaks or peta leaks to get a large number of modern games out there. And its extremely difficult for that much data to leak without someone noticing, nor is it easy/fast to send that much data over the internet.
