It was developed by Digital Evolution. Similar in format to first-person exploration games like <i><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myst" class="extiw" title="wikipedia:Myst">Myst</a></i>, <i>Virtual Springfield</i> allows one or two players to explore a 3D simulation of <a href="/wiki/Springfield" title="Springfield">Springfield</a>, the fictional town featured in the series. Many of the show's more familiar locations are present, including <a href="/wiki/Moe%27s_Tavern" title="Moe's Tavern">Moe's Tavern</a>, <a href="/wiki/Krustylu_Studios" title="Krustylu Studios">Krustylu Studios</a>, <a href="/wiki/Springfield_Elementary" class="mw-redirect" title="Springfield Elementary">Springfield Elementary</a>, and <a href="/wiki/742_Evergreen_Terrace" title="742 Evergreen Terrace">742 Evergreen Terrace</a>. Players can point and click to interact with characters and settings. The objective of the game is to unlock all secret areas within the map. </p> <div class="thumb tleft"><div class="thumbinner" style="width:202px;"><a href="/wiki/File:Virtual_Springfield_screenshot.jpg" class="image"><img alt="" src="https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/thumb/d/d3/Virtual_Springfield_screenshot.jpg/200px-Virtual_Springfield_screenshot.jpg" width="200" height="150" class="thumbimage" srcset="https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/thumb/d/d3/Virtual_Springfield_screenshot.jpg/300px-Virtual_Springfield_screenshot.jpg 1.5x, https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/d/d3/Virtual_Springfield_screenshot.jpg 2x" /></a> <div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><a href="/wiki/File:Virtual_Springfield_screenshot.jpg" class="internal" title="Enlarge"></a></div>A screenshot from the game</div></div></div> <p>The game has the nominal overall goal of collecting an entire set of character cards, but their hiding spots can be used more than once. In fact, there are several times as many cards as there are hiding places. Once all the character cards are collected, another card appears in the player's collection, giving the URL of a (now defunct) "secret website" featuring "<a href="/wiki/Professor_Frink" class="mw-redirect" title="Professor Frink">Frink</a>'s Matter Transporter" (a cheat that allows the player to jump to any featured location instantly) and <a href="/wiki/Otto" class="mw-redirect" title="Otto">Otto</a>'s map of the town, with directions of all the non-interactive locations in the game (<a href="/wiki/Gulp_%27n%27_Blow" class="mw-redirect" title="Gulp 'n' Blow">Gulp 'n' Blow</a>, <a href="/wiki/Herman%27s_Military_Antiques" title="Herman's Military Antiques">Herman's Military Antiques</a>, popsicle-stick skyscraper, etc.). </p><p>There are also several "secret items" to collect, which in turn are used to unlock secret areas. </p><p>The game features dialogue written and recorded by <i>The Simpsons</i> cast and writing staff. </p><p><br /> </p> <div id="toc"
