Amateur. Just kidding, I love you being the weird ports/licenced games channel. It's a hidden gem.
@@MrGamelover23 🙄🤷
Hahahaha; np dude !
People should watch Jerma985's S:H&R playthrough of over 10 hours STRAIGHT. It is a descent into madness at the last mission!

“Licensed game connoisseur” he says with questionable pride
That's why we love him.
what a shameful title
I think he is still questioning his entire channel tbh
Simpsons and that one king kong game are the only licensed games I liked ^^
and alien isolation.
@@Iguana5kgodfather 2 is a pretty decent game
Driving through Mr Burns' mansion in the rocket car was the best feeling
When I was a kid, my brother used to tell me it was Hersheypark. I still don’t know why to this day.
crunchy because of the backyard, hersheypark had the chessboard
BAD VIBES I honestly feel like it was just him fucking with me for the sake of fucking with me, but regardless I appreciate the reply.
Mr burns mansion
Rocket car
Pick one
Maaaaann the fucking rocket car
It's a sad day for generic characters everywhere
BirdsofDestiny it’s a reference turdburger
Do do do do duo duooooo
@@birdsofdestiny6816 Ok outdated meme.
@@birdsofdestiny6816 There's more to that meme than just typing "ok boomer," it has to actually fit the situation, otherwise it's just nonsense.
So that's what he said
"Moe Moe Moe, shouldn't the weapons defend people who actually have loved ones?"
"Yea, yea i guess so"
Ruthless
Poor moe, I'm sad his midget girlfriend broke up with him, he was so happy in that episode.
CoreisusBand (Like Toys-R-Us but with CORE) "Well, time to comb my hair before the zombies get here.... ugh my life stinks"
"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
Yeah i made marge dump homer and made her work at the kwik mart and park her car at the trailer park and walks into krusty burger after working at the kwik mart
@@Early2000sPs2games holy shit I used to do stuff like this too 😂😂 I had homer in a different house. I made him go to work everyday and drove as if I were obeying traffic laws.
"Everything feels qoutable"
I don't know why but "GET ONTO THE ROAD AND OFF OF THE SIDWALK" in the exact cadence and accent has been burned into the back of my brain for the last 13 years
Eeeyah getta your face outta mah face
Which is funny, because he actually says "OFF THE ROAD AND ONTO THE SIDEWALK!"
@@TenshiCat thats literally the joke
@@angreedarmor1396 how'd you like a newspaper upside ya head
I have some quotes ingrained into my brain too - Bart saying "I'll never lose these love handles" (which always comes up whenever I'm trying to do any sort of exercise), Homer saying "It was like that when I got here!", and Apu saying "Who put this here? It makes no sense" are some that come to mind right now
EDIT: Also - "I'm a lean, mean, vindaloo machine!" and Homer's equivalent "I'm a lean mean speed thingy!"
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.
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.
Reminds me of the Yakuza games
gta 5 comes to mind,what are boring fucking open world with nothing to do in it.
M.Grey I agree, GTA IV felt so much more lived in. I much prefer those 3 islands than the big open nothing that GTA Vs map is
@@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.
6:00 "The amount of main story platforming missions can be counted on one hand."
Does that hand only have four fingers because it's The Simpsons?
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 👍
“Everything that the character yells is really quotable”
Comic book guy: “ooh thanks alo-....”
I AM SO SICK OF THIS HAPPENING
"Spines don't bend that way!"
“How would you like a newspaper upside your head?”
AWWW I WANTED A PEANUT
“Breaker breaker, this is Bart Simpson requesting one pimp ride ASAP.”
I still to this day say "The vibrations are tickling my feet" whenever I hit a rumble-strip on the road.
This, Battle for bikini bottom and Chamber of secrets were like the trinity of licensed ps2 games
Flying around the grounds of Hogwarts in Chamber of Secrets blew my young mind.
Absolutely agreed.
I'd say replace Chamber of Secrets with LotR.
@@anthonya.jumelles7103 LOTR was great too, they just don't make em like they used to
Spider Man 2, don't forget that
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.
Starlight consoles were a life saver
That's a very cool story! Hope you are doing allright at the moment, wish you all the best :)
Sims 2 DS when
PLEASE OH MY GOD I love that game
UBADESHNAR!!!
I remember playing the PSP version, but I got stuck at the end, due to a game bug. I later on send the game to Gamestop for money/store credit. I had previously played Sims Busted Out on a Nokia N-gage in a shop or restaurant in Berlin, 2004.
Oh no...
maybe if you got some manners... smh
"... you just master it pretty quickly"

Is that the guy who got angry at a children’s game ON STREAM?
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!
Actually Skateboarding was made by a company named The Code Monkeys - I think Radical were a little too competent to release that game! haha
@@minimme Oh I know Code Monkeys, They destroyed their company thinking The Gizmondo would be the future of gaming.
Also, have you seen Doc Hollywood yet? 😆
Hi im in uk too, level 3 is nostalgic
Nice to see you here Larry, love your videos.
Over 3 years on Top 20? Why they didn';t made another???
"Eat asphalt, asphalt eaters"
Also, I really enjoy the music in this game. The lvl1 and lvl2 ones really stuck with me.
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
*mmm, forbidden minimme*
"I'm scared and disoriented!!"
Man I can hear that shrill voice and I havent played it in years.
Augh! Why is this happening!?
This game still has a really strong speedrunning scene.
And a modding scene that's been making a pretty big boom as of recent
Danny Sweeney yeah the modding group if anyone is interested is called "The Donut Team" The speedrunning is also good fun, and I myself have even gotten into it recently :)
Yeah even I've speedran it and I don't speedrun shit, the only other exception is bloodborne
And re conneing the ps2 sence to play this again
I was somehow thinking meanwhile watching this video that this game is one of those speedrunning type of games and here is your comment :D
I loved this game but some of the missions were so frustrating i've never dropped more f bombs.
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
“The simpsons were hugely popular” who are you explaining that to? A five year old? Lol
I really wish they would make this game backwards compatible on Xbox One
I would love to see that too!
Mordo I heard the new Xbox Gen, the Xbox Series X will support backwards compatibility for all three previous Xbox gens, so that’ll definitely be the Xbox to play this amazing game on
ExtremeYTGaming SKATE 2 SKATE 2 SKATE 2
It plays on the 360 if you still have one
I thought they remastered it
Simpsons: Springfield Andreas
Loved kzone when I was a kid. Lots of nostalgia with this game as a magazine cover
Uploaded 33 seconds ago. I have arrived not a moment too soon.
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.
The last time I was this early The Simpsons was still funny
"I'm a lean, mean, speed thingy"
Wait, this isn't feet. Didn't people ask to see feet this year?
feet comments are all going through to my spam filter now lol
Someone pleas make a Wikifeet profile of minime
Maybe Quentin Tarantino, but not minimme!
‘It’s a sad day for generic characters everywhere.’
A friend of mine in elementary school turned me onto this game. Shit was a blast and played extremely well.
**Mentions K-Zone**
Oh God, it’s been 7 years since the last time I bought a K-zone magazine...
Clippygoat Only 7 years? You young buck. I remember buying the very first issue back in 2000 along with Disney Adventures magazine (which I was already collecting). It's probably been 16-17 years since my last K-Zone.
Ayy, Ii remember K-Zone! Since Aussie and New Zealand have a close relationship, we had K-Zone too. I remember entering a TMNT board game pack competition, and I won. It took like a year to arrive, and I honestly forgot about it. But on that day when it did arrive, I saw this big box outside my front door, when coming home from school, and I was so surprised that II won the competition. It was the first and last thing I've ever won to this day.
I had a ton of K-Zone magazines, they're all in the bin now
Great video and Happy New Year, Minimme!
Really looking forward to your Driver 2 review.
I think what I like most about this video is that it's not from someone who played this as a kid and is gushing like most videos on Hit and Run (guilty as charged...). It's a look through fresh eyes. I'm just happy those of us who are nostalgic for it aren't wrong haha
Loved that game back then, this truly needs a remaster
I'd love to see a review of the Starsky & Hutch game on Ps2.
I bought it recently for this reason! Just need to get lightguns going haha
@@minimme Sweet! Looking forward to it.
Wait. The Starsky and Hutch game had lightgun sections?
Dude you just opened up a generation of memories in the back of my head Holy shit
Ah yiss.
I discovered this channel about a week ago, and it's easily one of my favourites
remember when jerma died playing this
THIS GAME SHOULD BE REMADE WHO IS WITH ME
YESSSSSIRRER SPAGHETTIO
Nah. It’s already been made just fine.
So much so that if you were to make it again, you’d almost certainly piss people off. Through a change of graphics, controls or general PC pandering.
Just leave it alone, please 🙏
A remaster would be a more propper treatment.
"Hmmm, minimme, must get buzz minimme."
I remember finding your channel 5 years ago when you reviewed Driver 3 (one of my childhood games). It feels like things are coming full circle with your review of The Simpsons Game and Hit and Run (another games I grew up playing). Your reviews are great and it's great to have seen your growth over the years.
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 :)
dude i love all your freakin videos keep it up much love❤️❤️
I remember when my mum got it for me for Christmas. I spend the whole day playing it
I did some work for K-Zone! That was a long time ago
I and My brother were stuck in the final mission for months but when we passed it, was absolutely GLORIOUS
as much as I hate hearing my fav game as a kid isn't as good as I remember, your reviews are very detailed and extremely accurate. Love the channel!
Great game lots of fun I still enjoy playing it! I do love the fact that you can go into Mr. Burns Mansion and tear it apart.
0:20 Good old K-Zone, we got those in KiwiLand too, as with most Aussie things.
WHAT A LOVELY UPLOAD FOR MY BIRTHDAY thank u minimme
I’ll never forget the Friday afternoon in October 2003 that I got off school and walked to the local video store with my dad on the way home and rented this on the PS2 for the weekend.
Moral of the story: Games don't have to be a Sweatfest to be rewarding.
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.
Awesome review of one of the most awesome games ever. Never owned it as a kid but played it a lot and explored all the levels at my buddies houses back in the day. Own a couple copies of it now
You got a new subscriber purely for appealing to my Australian nostalgic sensibilities with K-Zone Magazine - thx fr the memories
I was not prepared for the nostalgia hit that came when you brought up K-Zone. Oh my goodness that takes me back.
Just found your channel and love these retro game reviews man. I've been looking for this kind of content for a while and here you are! You should play through the Harry Potter games, I'm doing that at the moment and it's amazing how different to each other they all are. A review of the old Toy Story 2 PS1/N64 game would be awesome too.
Pretty sure I played this game so much that my Xbox DVD Drive eventually gave up the ghost...
Honestly top game of my childhood, well and Fable.
Top Video
'gave up the ghost'. i think my pig whistles!
One of my favorite gta clones
I grew up with it, I always loved it. The fact you could drive about any car and unlock so many things made my little mind go nuts.
I remember K-Zone! I never bought them, but I remember seeing them a lot at supermarket checkouts with the other magazines like the garden ones.
I remember having an xbox magazine disc that had a save file for Simpsons Hit and Run that unlocked every level and every car in the game, you could also drive all the special vehicles from the phone booth in any level too.
wow I jumped around that monorail often but never thought it was an actual vehicle
New Zealand got Kzone too. I loved it as a child. Great Times.
pretty sure we just got the aussie version
Woohoo! I feel like a candy wrapper floating in an updraft !
The only thing this was missing is things catching on fire for no reason after you hit them.
As A kid I was stuck on the last mission taking grandpa to the plant, On PC a few years back I completed it first time.
I wish they did a remastered version of this
Oh wow, I entered that same K-Zone competition too! Needless to say I did not win. I ended up picking Hit and Run when it came out on Platinum and it was really quite hard to find (think toilet paper in 2020). Now that I brought the PS2 out of the box my better half, also a massive Simpsons fan, is finally getting her first chance to play this game for the first time - I'm insanely jealous.
The one game that seriously needs a HD remake from the ground up 😁 I love this game. First game I owned on Playstation 2 and still own to this day ❤
Yes Peter. I've never actually played the game as a kid, too, so it's good to see a fresh review on it
Yea, I played through this for the first time last year and its been fun to slowly work my way through it in bursts. It's always hilarious to play and I can see why this was such a big game while I was growing up.
I first found out about this game in the 3rd grade when a friend told me about it in class, he mentioned you could steal cars and jump a volcano(the flaming tire pile) and that blew my mind I was such a big simpsons fan. The next week I went to GameStop and they had one copy for the GameCube and the game is now part of my top 5 most favorite games of all time and I still have the same copy that I bought 11 years ago. 😄😄😄
I remember playing Roadrage on the Gamebot Advanced SP and I remember getting mad at the snow plow part. Sooooo long ago.
I have this game on my original xbox and it's pretty good! Glad you played it!
This, Road Rage, and Simpson's Skateboarding had been my favorite games at the time.
I love your voice.. and i found your channel after i watched that hilarious colonel Sanders video on shrooms lmao
Another good video
Wow dude you are like super talented. New subscriber! Please keep killing it!
First video of 2020. Let's go boys.
K zone!!! Hahahaha that's a throwback, I only ever used to buy them for the novelty toys they used to come with
The first meta jokes I remember ever hearing were from Bruce Campbell in the tutorials of the Raimi Spider-Man games. Ironic that it started with a Marvel character who wasn't Deadpool.
That last level with granpa and the barrel IS the source of all my issues.
Great review this is one of my favorite games it was nice to hear your thoughts.
dude, your videos are great
I remember playing this at my friends house on their PS2 when I went over there!
The sunset level by the beach with Bart is my favorite level
Great video, there is a option in the game if you fail a Misson 5 times you can skip it and carry on with the story lol
The Canyonero and Mr. Plow were my favorite vehicles.
5:02 "Not only did GTA prove how fun police chases can be..." That's a strange way of spelling Driver :P
I like the story a lot, at least the concepts of it and how it impacts the setting. Over the course of the game, as the story becomes more complex and chaotic and relating to treehouse of horror, the levels progress through the time of day, beginning in the morning with homer, and book ending once again with homer at midnight in a true treehouse of horror level. If you listen closely, the Homer 2 theme is just the "Homer's Day" theme from Homer 1 and Marge, except sped up and played with horror type instruments like the Theremin, electric guitar, and coconut shells. This progression through the time of day is so great, and even if people dislike the alien plot for being boring, surely the setting changes is something they enjoy. Hit and Run is so nearly perfect, I just wish they had more time to finish Homer 2, polished up the rest of the missions in the game to make progression better, and if there weren't a lot of rewrites throughout development, it could have been made a lot better. I really hope the Donut Team remakes Homer 2 soon. It's my favorite level in the game, but those missions need to be fixed. I love how hard the last mission is, so I'd like that to stay the same, but there should be more levels throughout the game that have cars with that kind of wonky driving. Also the last 3 missions shouldn't be the same mission again. ALSO there's a bug in the final mission that makes the mission harder than it should be, instead of adding time, the mission resets the time once you escape the alien sedan, making it better for you to not run away from it as soon as possible. It's little things like that that make Homer 2 so buggy. I remember clipping out of that level so much.
I love this guy’s videos. Binge watching them. :D
We got K Zone in New Zealand too. Nostalgia!
I still have my pc copy. Beat it recently, and while I didn't love it as much as when I was a kid, it really does have it's own charm.
One of my fondest memories of playing this game was waiting to see of those coins would despawn after a certain amount of time. It took longer than expected.
That pun is too good to be relegated to the description !
K-zone was in New Zealand to I still have my entire collection including the one with the hit and run competition
Bro
