The Simpsons (Xbox, EA)

Debug OptionsWhat about my options?

General Differences#

Watch on YouTube

• Almost everything is incomplete and the player can't switch characters yet.
• The only cutscene is played on boot: Bart does a "Living Room Olympics" pole vault onto the couch, breaking it in the process, after which Homer comes in and is upset about the couch being broken. This scene (particularly the audio) is taken straight from Season 3 Episode 24 ("Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?"), and was likely meant as a cutscene test.

Gameplay Differences#

To do: See if you can play as any other characters through digging in the code. See if Bart can do anything besides what's listed.

The loading screen before the cutscene is taken from James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing, which uses the id Tech 3 engine, of which this build shares.

Bart#

• Bart can turn the TV on and off by pressing Y. The TV shows a looping animation of Itchy and Scratchy beating each other with mallets with no other sound than the iconic Itchy and Scratchy Show theme song.
  • Similarly, he can also play and stop a record player. The record played is a jazz version of the Simpsons theme song.
• Moving Bart into a wall plays a rather loud banging noise regardless of which surface it is.
• Bart can do somersaults, make faces during his idle animation.
• Bart can perform a jump fly glitch if you press A + X.
• Bart can swing on bars in the backyard, as well as stand on the piano in the house to make noise.
• Bart can get dizzy when running in circles for too long.
• Bart's animation while running is almost similar to his running animation in Hit & Run.

Lisa#

Seen in the opening cutscene, but is only a static image rather than a proper model.

Homer#

Homer wearing a tie appears in the cutscene, as well as on the roof grilling.

Unused Graphics#

There are a number of leftover graphics from James Bond 007: Everything or Nothing, due to being built on the same engine.
