Simpsons Themed Quake III Mod Features Spider-Pig, Homer, and Chopin

A Quake III modder has gone and given us what we never knew we needed: a perfectly detailed rendition of the Simpsons home in which to play Capture the Flag.

Have you ever wanted to see Montgomery Burns blast a hole in Homer Simpson's head with a shotgun in the middle of Moe's Tavern? Have you ever wanted to see it done using a game engine from 1999?

If you answered "yes" to the above questions, than you have YouTube user and Quake III modder breisgaubrasilianer [www.youtube.com/user/breisgaubrasilianer] to thank for his amazing Simpsons themed Quake III Capture the Flag level.

The Simpsons, a long-running cartoon about a dysfunctional family, is no stranger to videogames. In fact, there are enough Simpsons-themed games to warrant an entire Wikipedia page [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Simpsons_video_games] dedicated to listing them all, but the one genre of game that The Simpsons never touched was the first person shooter, perhaps due to society's issues with familicide.

Well, thanks to Quake III and breisgaubrasilianer, that gap has been filled.

I could have sworn I've seen that years ago. Are you sure this is news?

Might be a bit late to the party, but this is still totally awesome. I like how it keeps the feel of the cartoons despite being in 3D

Exactly what I though. That roof top full of tables next the the bowlarama? Rail gun spawns there, awesome high point for using it

I remember actually seeing this when I was trying to find so gameplay footage of Virtual Springfield for some research for a project I have long since forgotten about. It is a very cool little mod though, especially in a the attention to detail that just makes it feel like the cartoon. Whoever made it should be proud.

Probably saw that in the days when I was playing Q3, but I get the feeling the graphics have been updated on this map? It looks prettier (color-wise).

Now I want to start a Simpsons marathon (proud owner of seasons 1-9). I love the detail. It made me remember different episodes as the player walked around the house.

reminds me of the creativity that went into the countless counter-strike and half-life stages and my days as a regular to the Sector 7-G half-life server. Haven't seen that many stages like that in TF2. There are probably way more like this in other PC shooter games and despite that, this one is still really well detailed, the little details in this case.
