Debug showing free came and running outside as well free cam lets you place your bug were you want then drop it
I show outside and lot new views in the demo
In this give good clues how they did the rendering
Free cam hold start and A
I was able to figure out press some other combo to drop your bug were you look
set to 720p 60fps to see real speed not 480 you only get 24fps

I can try to run a recovery program on the computer I used to dump the hard drive.
Does anyone recommend a windows recovery program?
What I did to check for deleted files was mount the hard drive over my network to my Mac. Then I made a iso using smart disk image maker. Then I scanned the iso using disk drill media recovery.
I am uploading the iso and the files I recovered. Will Post the link as soon as it’s ready!
If you have Tune Up Utilities installed in your PC (AVG) you can try first the function of recover eliminated files
Option 2: If this is not succesful I recommend you : "Recover it" you can download it as a free software in the web
Option 3: If that is not succesful try a software called "Acronis", if you have problems to find anyone post it, i got them all
Good luck!

The founder of Red Lemon Studios, Andy Campbell, came across my Tweet about the Simpsons demo! Here's what he said:
"Oh my! Not seen that for 20 years! We had a great coder who had developed an amazing cell shading engine for DC. I knew Fox pretty well, so this was a demo we created and I pitched to them. We were never commissioned, so this was technically never an official title in development"
"This was a trip down memory lane. The tech was great, developed by a guy call Rich Evans, great coder. Bug Squad concept came from Jamie Grant if I remember. A great art team built the models. The tech was also pitched as a production tool for the show itself. No game made though"
Mystery solved!

Of course it never looked like a videogame project, but a game engine showcase. Even the bug looks like a placeholder from their other project, BLOWUP.
Calling this cel shading is stretch things quite a bit, to say the least. This is just plain shading with an outline. I'd say Jet Grind Radio was the first real-time cel shaded illumination (it came out one month after this demo).

More info on BlowUp from Andy:
"Spark was Red Lemons concept dept. Blowup was a puzzle platformer game whe you controlled a character who would blow or suck a ball or balls over a level. Can’t remember make this into a demo though, just concept. Amazing find!"
