Licensed IPs will often copy immensely popular games for their own games, and The Simpsons: Hit & Run was no exception, being released in the heydays of both licensed 3D games and Grand Theft Auto clones. But cashgrab shovelware this is not, for this game is often considered one of the best Simpsons games and GTA clones ever made. It put a unique spin on the GTA clone formula while staying extremely faithful to its source material—it's practically a playable episode of the show when it was at its best. Even over two decades after its release, the game maintains a fanbase and modding community.
There's a whole lot of content to be found within the game's files, such as unused models, graphics, music, dialogue, and even traces towards scrapped levels. There's also references to earlier content that was left in at the last minute, which can be accessed via cheats.
