Sep 30, 2013  How to get The Simpsons Hit and Run working on Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 (32 / 64 bit) Post Updated 21st Aug 2017 for Windows 8/8.1 and 10 users:) OK, for the past few days I've been troubleshooting this issue and I found the perfect fix for both Windows XP Professional/Home Edition, Windows Vista, 7, 8, 8.1 and 10 (both 32 bit. The Simpsons: Hit & Run is a 2003 action-adventure game developed by Radical Entertainment and published by Vivendi Universal Games.It is based on the American animated sitcom The Simpsons, and is the twenty-second installment in the Simpsons series of video games.

The Simpsons have been through it all. Identified early on as the worst family in television, they're now hailed by many Christian groups as the ideal family. Go figure, huh? One thing The Simpsons franchise lacks, however, is a decent video game. Make no mistake, there have been numerous attempts over the years, but none have really been able to combine a decent game along with The Simpsons license ' until now, that is. The Simpsons: Hit and Run is the best Simpsons game to date, but does it hold appeal for everyone?

At first glance, The The Simpsons: Hit and Run looks like a Grand Theft Auto 3 clone, and in many ways it is. Take away the excess violence and hookers, and you'll have The Simpsons: Hit and Run. It's an unlinear, free-roaming, missions-based game with an interactive environment in the Simpsons world. Unfortunately, not everyone likes The Simpsons (I don't know any, but I trust they're out there), and because of that, there are two camps here.

**Simpsons FansThis is the game you've been waiting fourteen long years for. The free-roaming environments and GTA-inspired gameplay works really well in The Simpsons: Hit and Run. More importantly, it complements the humor of The Simpsons incredibly well. Just about every character from The Simpsons makes an appearance in some form or another, whether they're playable characters or just pedestrians on the streets. The humor of the show is completely intact in Hit and Run; from the hilarious one-line quips to the more subtle jokes you'll find around town, you'll be laughing throughout the entire game. The graphics and audio also complement The Simpsons license really well. It feels like a Simpsons episode, and is probably the main selling point for any Simpsons fan.

Everyone Else
Chances are you'll see through the wonderfully created Simpsons' world and notice the flawed gameplay. While the world in The Simpsons: Hit and Run is interactive and very funny, the core gameplay is far too repetitive. In total, there are about five or six different type of missions and by the third or fourth level, things start getting monotonous. Granted, if you're a fan, you'll probably laugh it up too much to notice. Not everyone can appreciate the humor of the Simpsons though, and for you few, The Simpsons: Hit and Run will be a bit flat.

The Simpsons: Hit and Run is the first Simpsons game to take full advantage of the Simpsons license, combining fun and addictive gameplay with the witty (and sometimes juvenile) humor of The Simpsons. Still, it won't be for everyone. The bottom line: if you can't appreciate the show's humor, there's not much for you in The Simpsons: Hit and Run. But then again' who doesn't like the Simpsons?

This is a sub-page of The Simpsons: Hit & Run.

Unused HUD Icons

HUD Icons that are not used.

• Sit 'N' Rotate Room icon. Was supposed to be used for Kinky Frinky originally, because the Hover Car was meant to start at this location. In the final version, it's been changed to start at the park.

• Legitimate Businessman's Social Club icon. The only mission which would make sense to drive here is Level 5's second mission, '...and Baby makes 8'. However, when you finish Mission 1, it ends with you arriving at the social club.

• Springfield Central Monorail Station icon. The station is in both Level 2 and 5, but in both these levels, you never have to drive here in any of the missions other than Level 5's 'Never Trust a Snake'. When you get there though, the game tells you to pick up all the litter in downtown.

• Springfield Nuclear Power Plant parking lot icon. Obviously meant for the missions where you have to drive to the power plant like 'There's Something About Monty', but the final version uses an icon of the Power Plant building.

• Tomacco icon. Was supposed to be for Level 1's bonus mission, but in the final, a basket of tomaccoes is used.

• The early radar seen in the IGN's sizzle reel and a few screenshots. Many mods of the game replaces the used one with this one.

• Part of the early radar.

• Part of an early map display.

• The Wasp Camera has its own radar icon, which isn't used for some reason.

• These numbers were intended for races before it was replaced by mission siles.

Cards

• A different version of the collector card screen.

• The early collector card tab.

• An unused card with a text background.

• An unused yellow card, likely related to the alternate collector card screen.

• An unused red card.

• An darkened version of the red card.

Mission Loading

• Early loading screen for Level 1.

• Monochrome early loading screen for Level 2. Unusually, an image of Marge reading a gaming magazine is seen. This in fact could be a reference to the mission 'Bonestorm Storm' in Level 1, and Bart's determination to get a copy of Bonestorm 2 in Level 2.

Misc. Graphics

Art that is not seen in the game at all.

• An earlier version of the logo, used in the PS2, GameCube and Xbox menus, but not the Windows version.

• Exploding screen. This is supposed to be used for when Scratchy blows up in the loading screen for a level, but since the game automatically loads a level when the cable runs out, it cannot be seen at all.

• Angel Kang, was for the credits.

• Angel Kodos, also was for the credits.

• A price tag. Originally intended for buying clothes or cars instead of yellow text saying the price.

• Credits picture showing a theatre with the Simpsons in it, not used.

• Movie tickets. Intended for the scrapbook.

• A talk wave, most likely used in the Bart tutorials.

• A headset, most likely used in the sound settings.

• Extra stars for the bonus game. The highest star count is 4, so these ones go unused.

Textures

Various textures that don't appear in the game.

• An earlier version of the Buzz Cola vending machines. It's interesting to note that the final texture does not include the Buzz Cola logo, which is part of a seperate mesh. This texture is located in the files for L3/L6 and is used for the side of some racks holding tyres outside the gas station. While it is technically not unused, it is impossible to see the full texture ingame.
