A History of “The Simpsons” in Video Games
The Simpsons: Virtual Springfield
Developer: Digital Evolution
Publisher: Fox Interactive
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS
Release Date: 1997
1997 saw the release of the first 3D animated Simpsons game. The first-person adventure, Virtual Springfield allows the player to explore the town including locations like the Kwik-E-Mart, Springfield Elementary, and the Simpson’s house. The goal is to collect a full set of player cards while interacting with the characters of Springfield and unlocking new areas. There is also a collection of mini-games including the in-show game Slugfest that appeared on the episode “Moaning Lisa”. Development of the game also helped to realize the construction of a real-life replica of the Simpsons house which was given away in a contest in 1997. The game received average reception being toted as detailed and referential enough for fans of the show, but not worth it for a casual fan.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
