You know something sad? Phil Hartman died during season 10, in 1998, and with him died one of my favorite Simpsons characters: Troy McClure. Hartman's work on the show never failed to make me laugh, and A Fish Called Selma is definitely one of my favorite episodes of the series, especially the Planet of the Apes: The Musical scene. It's been over a decade since there was a Troy McClure appearance on the show...it saddens me that it's been running this long without him.

Damn, I miss Phil Hartman.

I know right? I read that retrospective months ago and have been keeping my eye upon for Hit & Run at a reasonable price ever since. Sounds amazing.

The newest simpsons game is a real thrill for any fan of the show. They actually built Springfield as a sandbox enviroment. It is totally faithful to the show and fun to just run around in. Love that game

also- you really can't beat simpsons arcade game. The local bowling ally had that and virtua on. It got all of my childhood quarters.

I also can't believe I've played two of the earliest Simpsons Game Boy games...oh wow, I'd totally forgotten about Camp Deadly and The Juggernauts games.

yeah I'm trying to track down most of the GB games. They really knocked out a ton of different genres.

aren't you thinking of Hit & Run? The newest game is The Simpsons game, which I thought was a platformer.
