    wasn't really a cartoon-based game, but an add-on to Quake III. I just loved the [url=http://www.planetquake.com/polycount/info/qua ke3/homer/homer.shtml]Homer player model[/url] model that could be downloaded and used in the arena.

    I used to start a custom game with all Homers and watch the AI characters fight. Just watching 6 Homers jumping all over the place, yelling "Woo-Hoo", or "My legs ... I can't feel my legs", or doing the victory dance "I am evil Homer! I am evil Homer!" when taunting other characters just left me in tears I was laughing so hard.

    Wow, someone is going to get a huge raise for coming up with this extraordinarily imaginative concept. Let me get this straight: They want to take an animated TV series and... ok, I'm still trying to grasp this... they want to take the characters and put them into a video game? Imagine the possibilities!

    If this is anything like the Simpsons games, it's going to be friggin' awesome! Anyone who can take a comedy show that pokes fun at family and culture and turn it into a game where the characters run around bashing things is getting my hard-earned dough.
