This is one of those games that induces feelings of great joy and nostalgia. Hit and Run and Scarface: The World is Yours will always have special places in my heart

[@mashuu2301]

The game is just pure nostalgia classic. I love it. Altho i dont think i ever completed it.

The Addiction you had with The Simpsons: Hit & Run was almost the same thing I used to do as well when I play MANY games back in the day, I had fallen in love WAY much with the games I was playing before and made me really want to skip school or a bit without getting in trouble and without making my grades go down for that. It all started with my Dad that showed me a PS2 and had me trying it out. Tried it out, and I was really impressed on how enjoyable it would be. And the very first ever console video game I’ve ever played was ATV Offroad Fury 2 (PS2). Although I also had the same trouble with saving my games as well. I didn’t notice of getting a memory card either like you did, and it made me feel like after I’ve gotten a memory card for the first time, I wanted to learn more about playing games and have been doing it ever since. I’ve really wanted to stray away from the boring stuff and just continue playing games at home or anywhere else than school without ruining my school grades. I also got addicted to the games I played as well and I would now say I can never survive for the life of me without playing video games ever again. After years of playing and graduating school for good, I finally decided to share more of my video game passion to the world with my KZbin channel, where my KZbin channel is now RockBandCodyL15 where I posted way more Rock Band gaming videos that were more unique than anyone else’s from a long time ago. If I never had that much of a video game obsession, I would never grown this far up to today. Anyway, good story about how you were addicted to games in the first place when you were young. 😉❤️

Wish this game would get a remaster already 😢

Ikr

[@6.2_zeus]

Play it on emulator games and the graphics are a lot better👍🏼 just need a good pc. We’re never gonna get a remaster sadly. Because of the simpsons tapped out game. That still racks up cash for them.

[@ddddzzzz5426]

no you don't

[@kidkwipik4942]

@@6.2_zeus its a pity :/

[@kidkwipik4942]

@@ddddzzzz5426 let me rephrase i wish it would get a port to newer gen consoles. remaster would just be a way for them to cash out. Look at the battle for bikini bottom remaster, it was fun but its missing what made the original game special.

[@RealShadowfiend180x]

Surprisingly you was the first channel i found for simpsons hit and run im glad i stuck around brother ❤🙏

[@jelavan]

picked up a ps2 slim and started playing my copy of hit and run again. couldnt be more excited about it

[@WrestleArts]

Excellent video!! 👏💛 Thank you for all of the Simpsons Hit & Run content you've given us! 🙌 Looking forward to seeing what's next for the channel!

[@sizzurpmp3]

Wow man, just wow. The Average Johnny lore is deeper than i thought lol Thanks for sharing your past with us, holmes. Sometimes, it felt like we both were living the same life. What a time to grow up. The early to mid 2000s were awesome!

[@DeanyDoo]

im a bit late but you mentioned in the vid there isn't much reward for 100% completion but there is if u use the get all cars cheat after getting 100% completion then going to the phone booth and pressing F2 if you're on pc you get access to the mission cars like the black ferrini, bonestorm truck and some other ones : ) would be a good idea for a future vid too if you could rank them

[@geofle9661]

Great video! Also I’ve got some ideas for your channel. 1. You should do a easiest to hardest in wager races.2. You should do a top ten most annoying pedestrian cars.3. You should play the cops in Springfield mod!

[@AdamHinckley]

i came across your channel few years back, think it must have been at least 3/4 years now, I came across you because of the simpsons hit & run series, I miss them days, I know you don't do it anymore, but I loved what you have been were doing at the time, have you ever thought of playing the other simpsons games? like the simpsons game?

[@zshilt]

Hey man I love your hit and run videos! you made me replay it and trying for 100% have you ever considered for your next top 10 video on the traffic cars? Anyway keep up the good work respect.

[@DrakePlatinum]

I relate od with that memory card thing. It led me to becoming an efficient gamer and start to speed run a lot of ps2 games. Even after I got the card the habits never died.

[@benthecat4345]

There is the ultimate reward for getting 100%: the unlock all cars cheat which lets you use every vehicle in every level

[@TheAverageJonny]

very true 😅

[@unforgivenromantic]

I've been meaning to replay for actual years. Bought a copy for GameCube at the local comic shop back in 2019 and we'd been pulling the GameCube out for my niece to play Spyro and whatnot. I finally set it back up beginning of December and popped in Simpsons and the game is just as amazing as I remember. So thank you for these lists that got me nostalgic enough to break it back out again. Aside, it's pretty neat to see Jonny spelled like I do.

[@WrestleArts]

Hype! 🎉 What a game! 🔥😍

[@jessiegunther1079]

wish i found you sooner, your hit and run videos are amazing! I really miss this game. Did you know there's an exploit? Simce many missions are vehicle triggered, you can simple bypass by going on foot. Like for example with the firs mission in level 2, you can get into a vehicle way past Skinner's trigger point, thus escaping him right away. And the clothing/vehicle restrictions are only to start a mission. After that trigger, you can select any vehicle/clothing you like to do the actual mission.

[@Greendayrules089]

Remember the level where bart has to race snake

[@morganbrown8565]

True story as a challenge I tried to beat Krustys Limo to Squidport with the slow Cola Truck. Thanks to the AI messing up once I BARLEY beat it

[@bricegraham8256]

Such a great video. I feel the same way about you about this game.

[@davidmarecek1754]

I mean I agree with you. I got my copy in 2012/2013 and I still play this game, even though I did 100% numerous times.

[@TheAverageJonny]

addicting 🥴

[@mashuu2301]

I feel like there should be a channel called theaveragejackie for that jackchan adventures game

[@harrisonchristie6783]

For the next Simpsons Hit And Run video can you rank every mission in the game from worst to best including bonus missions?

[@Foxdidnothingwrong]

16:39 hey that's me

[@skypemee4040]

Hey man I have a question do you play gadget racers
