1997 was a special year in gaming. Final Fantasy 7, Fallout, Diablo, Grand Theft Auto, and...Virtual Springfield!
We gush about this wonderful walking simulator set in the town of Springfield, discuss whether it counts as a "cozy game," dismiss the arguments that it's not actually a game, and more as we break down this massive and often overlooked gem.
Plus we discuss the landscape of The Simpsons in 1997 including the infamous Simpsons House Giveaway!
