I know some could argue how this isn't technically a game. The Simpsons: Virtual Springfield still one of the finest video game adaptation of the show. Just may wanna lower your expectations down a bit. It's not a terrible Simpsons game by any means. But considering they played off the VR joke of the 90s. I felt this game truly delivered on that. You get to explore the town of Springfield. Many voice actors reprises their roles from the show. I don't know why a lot of best Simpsons games list not have this Simpsons game? There's a few mini games hidden around the town. It's almost as if you're in an episode of the show. Keep in mind, this predated The Simpsons: Road Rage by a few years. I felt with VR being huge in the gaming world today. This actually could sell well on GOG. Just make sure to include doesn't actually require an VR headset. Virtual Springfield was a rather unexpected licensed game of it's era. The closest thing to this was Beavis and Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity. A lot of Simpsons fans missed out on this Simpsons game. The world isn't ready to see one of the most eye opening 90s licensed games go into extinction. It was mind blowing how much this Simpsons game pulled off. You even go inside a few famous locations of the show. Most people knows about the famous Doom parody mini game. Virtual Springfield I strongly felt needs to return in the near future.
It is genuinely the finest Simpsons game ever made. As a game, it certainly isn't challenging, but what it has in spades is a sense of relaxation and fun - and the sense of being a true love letter to the show. The amount of funny in-jokes, secrets and references just made me smile when I would play it back in the day. I'd love people to be able to experience this hidden gem, especially as Simpsons games are kind of a thing of the past now. It's a great snapshot of a wonderful era when the show was the best thing going.
