The Simpsons: Hit & Run

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 game follows the Simpson family and their friend Apu Nahasapeemapetilon, who witness many strange incidents that occur in Springfield; security cameras, mysterious vans, crop circles, and a "new and improved" flavor of the popular soft drink Buzz Cola that causes insanity. Taking matters into their own hands, they discover numerous shocking secrets, and soon realize these incidents are part of a larger alien conspiracy, caused by Kang and Kodos. The gameplay largely focuses on exploration and missions; players often race enemies and interact with supporting characters on timed quests. The game also features many elements found in role-playing games, such as explorable worlds and side tasks.

Since its release, the game has developed a dedicated cult following, and an active modding community, including a group known as the "Donut Team," who've made Lucas' Mod Launcher (https://donutteam.com/releases/view/lucas-mod-launcher), which helps the game run on modern hardware (besides launching mods), and the Donut Mod (https://donutteam.com/releases/view/donut-mod-4), which tweaks and adds extra content to the game.
