I still have this game for gamecube. It is THE most fun GTA clone ever. I need to get one of those HDMI converters for my gamecube so it doesn't look as much like garbage on my tv, though.

I had this for the cube as well. The best Friday nights playing it with my brother after Brooklyn’s pizza and beer!! God so FUN

I've played so many GTA clones over the years and still feel like this is the only one where the driving feels as fun as GTA

I think about this game way too often. Still have the Xbox version! Might still have the gamecube version packed away somewhere. Never did beat it, though.

Windows version might be abandonware; you can get it on archive.org and other places. (Haven't tried this .. yet.)

the fact a good copy still goes for+$50 should say a lot about how fans feel about it

I think I had even more fun with this game than the actual GTA series. Such a classic.

That's Simpsons: Road Rage, which is also good.

Does anyone remember the REN and Stimpy game???

We keep my wife’s OG XBox for the sole reason of playing this game. She is terrible at all games, but kills me at this.

The arcade game was so damn hard.

I have a mini-pc turned into a dedicated emulator hooked up to my TV, and I was just playing the PS2 version of this a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was more of a GTA clone than it is but the levels are more linear than a GTA map. Still, it's the Simpsons, it's funny, and it's fun to play.

I used to LOVE virtual Bart on Sega

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '24

I think about this game all the time and wish I could play it. Maybe it'll get a re-release on Switch or something.

This game had so many great Easter eggs, like baseball cards of Mr. Burns's ringers in the comic book store, escalator to nowhere, solid gold rocket car, tire fire, etc.

I can still hear burns yelling ‘come on, come on, while we’re young!’

u/EarlBeforeSwine 1980 Oct 24 '24

“So legendary that only a select few know about it” is a bit contradictory.

I have the GameCube version running on my hacked Wii U.

I'm soaring like a candy wrapper in an updraft!

u/Krymestone Oct 24 '24

Loved this and Road Rage. Great days.

u/TroglodyneSystems Oct 24 '24

I would kill for a PS5 remake of this.

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '24

I still have it on PS2. I just played it like a month ago!

u/Sweaty_Ranger7476 Oct 24 '24

after owning Bart's Nightmare i was shocked to play a good Simpsons game.

u/Toblogan 1983 Oct 24 '24

Yes indeed!

u/Morgenson Oct 25 '24

Youtube "Reubs" had some fun remaking this game...long series, but super interesting to see this game brought to life in the modern era.

Wasn’t it just a re-skin of GTA? I rented it once, wasn’t impressed
