>>did Crash of the Titans have an extra year? There was kind of a long preproduction figuring that game out, so I think it had 18 months. All our other Crash games were made in 12 months, which is completely insane. It might sound like a lot of time, but picture this: - Finish last year's game augus...

>>Other than the cellphone idea, how much content was removed or vetoed by The Simpsons team? Not a lot. This was our second Simpsons game so we learned a lot from mistakes we made on the first game. One really odd thing about games is you cannot (or could not at that time) reference real world busi...

I can also add what was NOT a challenge: to a person, we were all massive Simpsons fans. We delighted in digging through the shows (on VHS tapes, natch!) to find one more reference or visual gag. One of our design goals was that whatever your favourite Simpsons episode, you would be able to find at...

>>Hmm....Question.....How about L3 M2? "Clueless" Has 3 unused Chases, why did you not completed mission?(I mean "Finish Milhouse locations" etc.) Hmm, can't remember that. I'm guessing they were just earlier iterations on the mission that got dropped. We iterated on missions a lot.

>>Also is it true that um level 7 was planned to be all levels togheter? I don't think so, the game does not have "city-loading DVD streaming tech" like GTA so that would not have been practical.

>>What does the .MFK file extension/ programming language even stand for? You got me there, no idea, can't remember at all. "Mission something something" as Homer would say. Jake might want to email Cary B about that if they are still in contact. If I recall correctly Cary was the programmer of the...
