America's well loved family would be dropping by "Minecraft" as 4J Studios just launched "The Simpsons Skin Pack" on Feb. 27th. But that's not all, two bright developers had also launched a recreated "Zelda" simulation game.
"The Simpsons" would be moving from Springfield to the world of "Minecraft" with the latest skin pack released by 4J Studios for Xbox One and Xbox 360. The skin pack, priced at US$2.99, would include all of the members of the Simpsons family (Homer, Marge, Lisa, Bart and Maggie). They would also be joined by some characters from Springfield Elementary School (Principal Seymour Skinner, Mrs. Edna Krabappel, Groundskeeper Willie, Otto Man, Milhouse Van Houten, Nelson Muntz, Jimbo Jones, Ralph Wiggum, Martin Prince, Kearney, Dolph, Wendell, Database, Uter, Janey Powell, Superintendent Gary Chalmers, Mr. Dewey Largo, Sherri and Terri). For the gamers and fans on the look out for Moe and the duff drinkers, they won't be seeing those characters in the game. Not even the nuclear power plant owner and GOP member Charles Montgomery "Monty" Burns, with his loyal aid Waylon Joseph Smithers, Jr., would not be included in the skin pack. Then again, there's so much gamers could do with all the 24 "Simpsons" characters in the set.
"Minecraft" developers have been on a roll since last month releasing television series and film based skins for the game. Last month, 4J Studios released the "Star Wars Classic" and "Star Wars Rebels" skin packs in anticipation of the next "Star Wars" movie. Interestingly, the "Star Wars Rebels" skin pack came a bit cheaper compared to "The Simpsons;" could it be that Homer's arsenal of donuts was able to deflect the force?
Meanwhile, a pair of "Minecraft" whiz were able to recreate a dungeon of "The Legend of Zelda" in "Minecraft. That would be a game within a game, folks. The design was completely awesome and mind blowing to say the least. For gamers who would be ready to have their brains racked, they could check the layout as well as the explanation of the creators at their Imgur posts or check them at Reddit through the user names "Senselesswander" and "Thejonwithnoh."
For the two pixel geniuses, the secret to their creation were command blocks. Bet that's not as simple as it sounds. In fact, bet that explanation could even make Homer go "D'oh!"
