Even though Hit & Run is mostly a racing game at heart, many fans still latched onto the game. The Simpsons: Hit & Run was a popular title, combining the frantic racing action of Road Rage with the newfound ability to walk freely through sectioned areas of Springfield. RELATED: The Simpsons Comics Sent Bart Into His Own Spider-Verse To this very day, the two most acclaimed Simpsons games are The Simpsons: Road Rage and its immediate sequel: Hit & Run, both of which are akin to modern cult classics.
With as many crummy Simpsons games releasing all the time, it made the every-so-often decent game seem like a diamond in the rough. Many people remember the days of seeing games based on The Simpsons being released quite often, yet many also remember that most of them weren't very good at all. As it stands, now, The Simpsons' video game relevancy is entirely on mobile with The Simpsons: Tapped Out. Despite several Simpsons games released on older consoles, they've completely disappeared in recent years. The decades-spanning franchise has seen many video game adaptations over its lifespan, starting back on MS-DOS and Commodore 64 systems, eventually breaking through into the NES, Sega Genesis, and even consoles beyond. Out of any television show that has ever existed, none has had as much cross-media success as The Simpsons.
