The Simpsons Game is once again playable on modern platforms. First released in 2007 as a tie-in with The Simpsons Movie, The Simpsons Game differs greatly from the much more challenging Simpsons: Hit and Run. The Simpsons Game followed multiple members of the titular family through a series of bizarre platforming levels.
Since then, The Simpsons Game has remained largely stuck on the platforms it originally released for: Nintendo DS, PS2, 3, and Portable, as well as Wii, and Xbox 360. Now, though, thanks to fan efforts, you can play it for the very first time on PC.
Per Dark Side of Gaming, fans have completed a recompilation project for The Simpsons Game, making the original version playable on PC. This works similarly to other recent recompilation efforts, like the Zelda: The Wind Waker recomp project, or the recomp of Dante's Inferrno, taking the source code of The Simpsons Game and running it natively on PC without relying on emulation.
The recomp can be downloaded from YesterMester on GitHub. It's totally free in and of itself, but you'll have to have your own copy of The Simpsons Game to make it work; none of the game's actual content...
