00:29 - In retrospect, I kinda feel that I should've said seasons 9 and 10 rather than 8 and 9. While I do think season 8 isn't quite as good as previous seasons, I still love that season, and it contains some of my favourite episodes. In fact, despite the drop in quality, I include seasons 8 to 10 as part of The Simpsons' 'golden age'.
ANYWAY, we're not here to talk about the series. This is the quintessential Simpsons game. And if you're a Simpsons fan and are still yet to play it, just ask yourself, are you really a Simpsons fan? Really?! This game is filled to the brim with references galore. Almost all of the vehicles are derived from episodes of the show, and the driving controls are surprisingly satisfying. But for me, this game's biggest appeal is its map of the town. As Homer, Bart, Lisa, Marge and Apu, you can roam the streets of Springfield and kick as many innocent pedestrians as you like with only the fear of a $50 fine. Where have you had a better offer than that?!
Thanks to Jacob Lippincott, Alice Mansell and Shanie Tolley for this request - this game was one of my most highly requested, and your requests were the most recent, although I am aware other viewers have recommended it before too, so apologies if you didn't get a mention today! Hope you all enjoyed!
