20 Cult-Classics Trapped On Old Consoles

1. The Simpsons: Hit & Run

Who would’ve guessed this was at the number 1 spot? But honestly, what other game is talked about as much as The Simpsons: Hit & Run? This game continuously makes headlines. Any time there’s a shred of a rumour about a remaster, it goes straight to the top of any gaming website, and fan remakes get talked about nonstop.

People can’t talk about this game enough, and 20+ years later, it’s bewildering that this game is still trapped on old systems. It’s almost like we’re a queue of kids waiting by an ice cream truck with £60 in our hands, and the ice cream person is saying, “You’re not having any ice cream”. Mate, that’s £60 in my hand, what do you mean, no ice cream? 

The reason we haven’t seen this game reappear for over 20 years? You guessed it, rights issues. The old reliable. But with another Simpsons movie on the horizon, I can't think of a better time to capitalise on this than bringing out a remaster of Hit & Run. Or just shadow drop it tomorrow, or today, I don't mind, I'm not picky.
