  • The Simpsons TV show has a proud history of highly quotable moments, lovable characters, and a disturbing number of documented jaundice cases . However, much like its later seasons, not everything about the iconic yellow family is... good. Take for example the sprawling roster of officially licensed Simpsons video games - let's just say not every Simpsons game can be Hit & Run, okay? This is Every Simpsons Game Ranked From WORST To BEST.

      I was surprised to see 'Virtual Springfield' ranked at #5.
      I worked on that game back in the 90's. All of us at the studio had lots of fun working on it, but many of us were skeptical that it would do well, not actually being a real "game", it's really just an interactive collection of early Simpsons trivia. The studio that developed it for Fox Interactive that I worked for, went out of business shortly before the game was finished.
      Maybe we had too much fun making the game.
      A little technical trivia... One of the first "cel shaders" was made for that game. We built the entire city of Springfield in 3D Studio version 4, (an ms-dos based application before it became 3DSMAX on windows). Then we pre-rendered segments along every block, up and down every sidewalk, and saved them as gifs. The whole game engine is essentially just many gifs stitched together at intersections.
      I spent several hours a day, watching scenes of an episode in order to study the buildings in the city and re-create them in that 3D program. It was tricky, because, being a cartoon, many of the houses and buildings in the tv show do not look completely the same shape from all sides. Thus, are difficult to build in actual 3D. The Simpson house totally did not match up from front and back views, we had to fix that for the game. same for a lot of other buildings.
      I miss the 90's....

    • @TheDutchGhost
      @TheDutchGhost Před 4 lety +8

      @@peterbelanger4094 Virtual Springfield probably scored so high because it focused on trying to recreate the Simpsons' world rather than being some random genre game with the Simpsons license slapped on to it.
      That was one of the main drawback of 90s license games or even in general today.
      Some licenses work very well with some genres such as action movies with FPS for example but too many games became uninspired platform titles that were perhaps okay at the time but no competition to original IP competitors.
      Personally I always felt the Simpsons would have worked best as some kind of adventure game, each of the family members have their own little adventure and it all coming together at the end of the game in big finale.
      What do you miss about the 90's?

      Okay, side-by-side comparison time:
      Gameplay: SHAR has responsive driving physics, more arcade-like than realistic though I don't think that's a bad thing, and passable platforming considering that it's not principally a platformer. TSG has platforming that's no better than SHAR's, with little else to back it up. SHAR wins.
      Level design: SHAR's big open worlds to explore, versus TSG's linear levels with extra invisible walls, TSG just feels like a game where the designers have an idea of exactly what you ought to do and are trying to stop you doing anything else. In addition, TSG's wonky physics means that puzzle solutions that really look like they ought to work don't, often because of those invisible walls. I don't like trying to work out what the devs were thinking when their ideas are so poorly conveyed. SHAR wins and it's not even close.
      Story: both are wacky, irreverent slices of Simpsons, they have the sort of plots a Simpsons game should have. This one's a tie.
      Humour: this one's mostly a matter of taste, but for me TSG's self-referential humour gets pretty saturated. I particularly get annoyed by the "cliches" which the game points out about how bad it is - a better game could get away with it, but this one is just pointing out its own already-obvious flaws. SHAR's humour is more balanced, there are lots of different types of jokes, rather than a bunch of variations on one theme. I also prefer jokes to be incidental things in levels (eg the random comments by run-over pedestrians in SHAR) rather than drawn-out cutscenes.
      Visuals: I've gotta give this to TSG, I do really like its cel-shaded art style and IMO is the game's best attribute. SHAR looks fine for its era, but not especially interesting.
      Soundtrack: the biggest landslide for SHAR out of all the categories. I can't even remember any of TSG's music, whereas SHAR's totally slaps. I believe Danny Elfman composed for SHAR but not TSG, and you can tell.
      Overall, SHAR wins by four to one, with one tie.

    Just as a note: the Simpsons pinball table I'm familiar with, Simpsons Pinball Party by Stern, is actually one of the most well-regarded modern-style pinball tables of all time. Like, it's almost WILDLY deep, hard as nails, and really fun to play, too. It feels a little silly to consider it on the level of Tiger handhelds, as it would probably rank pretty high had y'all included it.

    Basically, for a Simpsons experience you only need 2 of these: Hit & Run and The Simpsons Game.
    All the side-scrollers feel more like Simpsons-themed games. Whereas these two give you the feeling of inhabiting The Simpsons universe.

    • @torstenscholz6243
      @torstenscholz6243 Před 8 měsíci +1

      True. These two are the only ones that were actually designed to be Simpsons games and really carry the charm and humor of the show - while the other ones are just video games that have the Simpsons as characters.

      I agree, Camp Deadly is definitely underrated. Yes, it's sometimes very challenging and unforgiving and has a few flaws, but once you get used to it, it's quite fun to play, and the graphics and controls are quite impressive for a 1991 Game Boy title.

    Hit and Run being at the top certainly not a surprise I don't think. I haven't played much of the Arcade game at number 2, but I think the few times I've been to the arcades it certainly seemed like a good game. Simpsons Road Rage, man my best friend got the game one time and we played it into the ground. I cannot believe how much we played it and I did not even like it. Somehow the game just eventually grew on us and sort of laugh at the idea that we played it as much as we did. We haven't really played it since. I was wanting to pull my hair out at how much we played it(in a day and plus more) considering Metal Gear Solid 2 was the newest game to come out pretty much. Can you imagine we were playing The Simpsons Road Rage over MGS2? My best friend just had to want to play it, because it involved vehicles and it involved The Simpsons. That was pretty much the whole reason behind it. Great times.
