    I downloaded this game when it was new on my first smartphone. The game was closed, my phone was in my pocket, and I was walking around the house at night. Suddenly, I hear a gruff male voice screaming, “Hey! Hey! Come back! What are you doing!?” Or something to that effect. It scared the absolute shit out of me and my (now) wife… It was Homer. I have no clue how/why the game was allowed to make sound when it was closed and my phone was in rest mode. Maybe I didn’t understand permissions back then, but I hold a grudge, so good riddance.

    Played on and off for all 12 years, I think I originally downloaded it on my Itouch lol – really a fun game for fans but was desperate for some performance upgrades by the end (let me zoom out more!)

    I also liked that all of the player data was client side so it was super easy to hack in premium currency and missed items, probably the only reason I played as long as I did.

    I have put more time into this than I care to admit. Gonna miss it

  6. Was thinking the other day when it would be shut down, have been playing it daily for years.

    Goodbye, bedtime and getting up ritual.
