That was my gripe with the game, and this playthrough just highlights it - it's not intuitive. I had the same issue with the Addams Family NES game, the actions and items just didn't make sense.
These Simpson games were the ones I always wanted as a kid but never could afford to buy, after watching this video I am glad I never did as I would have rage quit .
My dad rented this at least 20 times for me. It took 17 weekends to beat level 1. I tried 3 more times and got to the museum a few times, but my platforming and damage control skills weren't good enough and I gave up after half a years worth of weekends indoors. Lol good times!
You're like the Bob Ross of video games, and not just because of the soothing voice. Making this game look fun, and even playable is definitely artistry. I might even say this is your masterpiece, so far. = ) Good stuff as always, my friend.
I'm not sure why it took so long for a channel like this to become a thing but I am so happy it did. This is the channel I and I think many others have been waiting for. Once the UA-cam algorithm figures this out this channel is gonna blow up ,and rightfully so. Keep churning them out with great quality my man.
Man, you not only are killin it at these games, but you make it look easy AND teach it easily. Keep up the great work we'll all keep watching! Thanks for the entertainment!
This is so much nostalgia! This game is so hard for me and my friend that when I finally finished it when he wasn't around he didn't believe me and I had to finish it again in front of him 😂
Apparently I’m not the only one who had the experience of beating it and not being believed. Thankfully I was able to convince my friend after describing the ending in detail.
As a kid, I got pretty good at beating level 1. That said, after watching this video I realized that I did actually manage to beat level 2 at least once. However, level 3 was where I gave up. Probably from pure frustration.
I managed it. Only took a few days of trying. I was live streaming so some people did tell me a few tips like shooting the E in Kwik-E-mart but for the most part I had to manage it alone. Mostly its just the outrageous platforming omg! to see him use platforms in avoid some of the most horrendous bits like in stage 2 over the cement is disheartening to say the least :D. Many failed attempts on thaat and the Museum stage. still even without infinite life spamming which i wasnt aware of, the Carni level can get aa healthy dose of lives
So Bart collects radioactive uranium isotope rods with his bare hands without dying, but he has a hard time dealing with freshly laid concrete? Good stuff!
Ummmmm., bartman can pick them up. That's not bart at all... two wayyyyy different people bro... That's like putting Clark Kent against superman, or... idk, Bruce Wayne vs batman. There's just no comparison between the two.
Remember this game fondly from decades ago! Thank you for such a comprehensive runthrough. LOADS of secrets I never knew about. Three questions if I may: - 1) I vaguely remember one of the 45% discount shops holding a secret - you hold up for 5 secs in a doorway. Think it's like the bin where there's hats inside. Have I remembered correctly or did I dream this? 2) What happens when you jump off the diving board into the water on the hour? 3) Is there a way to spawn Marge at the elevators? Vaguely remember something, but can't remember.
The museum was the furthest I ever got in the game. I died on the cock heads across the pond. I only ever did that one once sadly. I used to lose a lot of lives on the shopping mall and I almost always lost on it Krusty Land with the bag pipes and such.
I never made it past the museum either. I would die pretty early on so much of that level I had never seen before. I always wondered how to get the items from the enclosed cases too.
@@UCanBeatVideoGames same thing i would always get stuck at the first platforming section. bart vs the world was much easier i think i ended up beating it the first time i rented it.
If you want to revisit this game, there are a lot of easter eggs hidden by the developers. 1 on stage 1 (Jump where the grass meets the sky to the right of the bush, push down shown at @8:44), several on stage 2 (several complicated trash cans, remove boot boss's hat with X-Ray specs on, lots of references to "Henry Wills" who probably made the level), several on stage 3 (codes/sequences to input at the games), and 1 on stage 4 (jump max height 6 times on the first dino spine @35:24). You can find all the info on the TCRF article on this game.
I know it that. The mall aint no joke jumping over that quick sand or wet cement i guess 😂. Had me flipping out with a lot of curse words behind it. Quietly though so my parents couldn't hear me.
Thank you, magical talking dog, but this is the first time I've had serious doubt about my ability to beat a video game on this channel. After years of trying as a kid, I'm pretty sure I'd fail getting pat level 3 over and over again.
My 1st and last console and game combo my parents ever bought me. Never got to beat this damn game. Watching you breeze through, fills my nostalgic memory! Keep it up dude
This entire game is cryptic b.s. No wonder I remember taking it back to the video store early when I was younger. What 12 year old would know to jump on garbage cans x amount of times or 90% of the other stuff in this game. Thank you for the video because it's the only time I've ever seen anything beyond Level 1
This is probably the best video (of this type) I've ever seen on youtube. That was a great walkthrough. I've beaten Bart vs The Space Mutants many years ago when it came out and I thought I knew the game pretty well and all the secrets but you still found a ton of stuff to share that I never knew about in the game. Great video and I'm super excited to check out some of your other content if this is indicative of the quality.
This was such a joy to watch, I can admit I never got past the first level and to just see what happens for the duration of the game was well worth the watch. Thank you for this
Oh man, this game used to kill me back in the day. I wanted to like it so much, but I never got past a few certain points in the day. Thanks for the pro-level strategy!
This is hands down thee most cryptic game ever how I the hell could anyone figure this out? This has been my new favorite channel thank you so much for all of the walk throughs. I hope your channel grows through the roof. I wish you streamed live.
I am so glad I found this channel. I really appreciate the intros that give a bit of history. Content allows me to see the games I love to completion better than a speed runner or Let's Play....subscribed!
It is not that hard. I beat it as a kid. It took me a year because of some of the insanely hard jumps in the museum level, after that it is smooth sailing.
@@LUCKO2022 ...took you a year???? And you dont call thar hard??? I was like 13 yrs old and other things to do...like watch Batman animated series. Lol
@@LUCKO2022 The game itself isnt that hard but one level that gave me a hard time was the mall. Once i passed that it was some easy to beat it. Once i beat it just didnt want go back an do that mall part anymore when i was a kid. 😂 i accomplished what i wanted an beat it just not gone go back an do it again.
I completely forgot about this game. This was another one that drove me nuts as a kid, especially the controls. Your videos keep getting better and better, I’m completely hooked. Also, I know I said I’d stop making requests, but after watching your channel, I keep thinking of new ones - I’d also love to get your take on Bayou Billy. To this day, that’s one of the only NES games I owned that I still haven’t beaten. That aside, another awesome video. Keep up the great work!
I knew you could spray-paint some things, I thought it was a fun little feature for Bart... I had no clue that was the goal of the level. Guess I never bothered reading the dialogue. I got a little farther in Bart vs the World, almost beat Virtual Bart, did beat Bart's Nightmare, never played Bartman or Krusty's Funhouse... am I missing any?
Gamepro Magazine had helpe me out a lot for the NES games. And also that game show Video Power in the early 90s was the shit for giving out cheat codes.
I recognize many of these games from my youth and in general I have no interest in going back to beat them. That said, I find your combination of brief history/context at the beginning of your videos along with a casual commentary playthrough to be very nice to watch. Its interesting to learn about the history of these games and I like that you don't care if you get hit or make a mistake as you play. Very chill channel.
I played the crap out of this back in '91. Only ever made it to the Museum. Wish U Can Beat Video Games had been around. I had no idea there were so many extra lives to be had. Thanks for the great vid!
14:35 This is where most people rage quit. I'm surprised how much effort was put into what is almost universally reviled as a typical rushed licensed game.
My man.... You've opened my eyes to a game I've been playing for nearly 30 years!! Not just this video, but your others too. Allow me to bow to you, good sir!
I asked my parents for this because I thought it was the arcade game, I was super disappointed at the time but the game quickly became one of my favorite nes games, even with the crazy difficulty at the end hah
I finally beat this game! This was #8 for me using your guides. Thanks for all the help, I had everything down really good, but struggled with the dinosaur. Once I figured out that I could wait on his head until he fired, jump down and jump back up it was easier. Thanks for the tremendous guide! Might try Faxanadu next, never really played it but looks interesting!
Back in the day, video game magazines would have strategy guides for games like this. You just had to buy it or borrow it from someone who had it. I bought and still have a bunch of video game magazine treasury-type books with a guide for this, TMNT 2, Castlevania 3, etc
This game only ever had two levels as far as I was concerned. I never saw more than 25% of this game, until now. You're crossing off so many things off my bucket list that I didn't know I needed closure on, lol
Newer played this one but my parents got me the sequel “vs the world” and man was it hard for an eight years old boy. Hopefully you’ll get to the sequel someday Either was, great video as always 👍
I owned both "vs the World" had a couple super tedious levels especially the North Pole stages. Both had some difficult platforming. The Hollywood area at the end had some hard levels too.
huh, never played this one, and only faintly remember hearing about it. And yet this was still a fun watch. Anyhow, I am a recent subscriber and think you do a fantastic job. You combine the best parts of a walkthrough, a game guide and a retro review, and the pacing of all three somehow really works. You're naturally funny, and you're genuine in your appreciation for these games. I look forward to more of your content. Sorry for all the gushing. Some humble recommendations from my own NES library to consider for the future: Pro Wrestling, Astyanax, Faxanadu, Deja Vu, Castlevania 3. Thanks!
I want to try this game again. I had no idea there were so many secrets. Its impossible to know half of them.. I hated this game as a kid for how stupidly hard it was but this guide gives me hope.
Wow, I never made it as far as level 2 boss. I never knew there was so much more game. Like others had mentioned, this was a rage quit title came out when I was 11. You make such great content. I am happy to have stumbled on you. Been watching a lot of your back catalog. You have a world class way of presenting.
This seems like one of those games that if you didn't know how to get the extra hidden lives and coins, or a walkthrough to tell you what to do on level 1... you'd never beat it
Trial and error. I eventually managed to complete this one years ago, but others I struggled with. I think it was dependent on what games you owned and could invest the most time into. Or traded with friends for.
2:08: I know what you are thinking, and YES, that guy starring in "They Live" IS none other then late pro wrestling legend, and icon of trash talking and ass kicking, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper!
I just wanted to say that I'm loving your channel. And not out of nostalgia -- I'm in my mid forties, but sadly I never had a video game console when I was growing up. No, I'm loving it because the gameplay is fun, your commentary is extremely chill and nice, and the expertise you demonstrate is simply mind-blowing. Keep it up! (And... Maybe... Do some Super Nintendo games too? Pretty please?)
I hated these cryptic NES games as a kid. They were designed to just sell strategy guides. "So here we're going to jump on this trashcan 14 times". lol
I beat this when it launched but I was stuck on the final level for hours. My first and only time, I called the nintendo counselors and they did t know what to do. I could hear him flipping pages in a book or magazine. I never thought Maggie would have the final rod
they were probably like “whoa, uh… no one else ever made it this far before. uhh hang on…” either that or they were told “this costs $3.99 a minute, so keep them on the line for a while before you give them any answers” lol
This game used to scare me as a kid! The aliens peaking from behind the TV were so creepy! And the odd sounds from the theme song didn't help either! Never got past the 1st level, so thanks for uploading this! SUBSCRIBED!
I was playing this last week on my original NES and forgot how damn hard this game is. 😂 Thanks for the video…brought back memories of me beating it back in 1991 as a kid.
This was one of those okay games that could have been great. Controls was 1 limiting factor. The second is the lack of information. The first few times I played this game I had zero clue what I needed to do. You can also tell where the creativity was dialed back in order to finish a game. The first level you are buying different items to remove purple in several different ways. From cheery bombs, to rockets to scare off birds. Covering items with towels and many more ways to clear goals. Level 2 is collect hats. Level 3 is collect balloons. Level 4 is Exit signs. Level 5 is radioactive rods. Most of the secrets are fairly obscure. Why would anyone jump on a single garbage can more than 30 times? It's not a bad game, but the frustrating platforming cancels out any fun you may have had.
You go from Wizards and Warriors to Bart vs The Space Mutants? That's the biggest difficulty spike ever. Haha. You're a monster. Keep up the good work man. Loving these.
I owned this game and played it relentlessly for years. On a good day the farthest I could get was the carnival. This one’s up there with Battletoads for difficulty! Another great upload.
I owned this game, mastered the first level, but it seemed like after that the levels were just super hard platforming. Not like the first level at all.
Nice work, man! I rented this game as a kid and had no idea what to do or where to go. Watching you showcase all the nuance was very entertaining, and makes me want to try it again!
@@burntyper Okay guy just because someone was a kid during the Nintendo classic days doesn't mean you know the tips and tricks to these games. I was part of that gaming era myself.
Your intro always gets me all hyped lol I know what to expect yet it doesn't matter. Then when you all like "what if I told you......" I'm like "TELL ME!!!" 😆 oh and that intro song is on my top favorite Channel intro songs haha.
Never finished the second level we had this game a pirate famicom game, dude thx for this videos I’m drinking myself to sleep today and watching this, your dedication is unbelievable, I have the following request you should do double dragon 2 or 3 solo, no coop
I never thought I would live to see the day someone makes this game make sense, and look easy to boot. What a time to be alive.
I agree !!
Moon pies
Yes!
That was my gripe with the game, and this playthrough just highlights it - it's not intuitive. I had the same issue with the Addams Family NES game, the actions and items just didn't make sense.
i was always able to make it to the end as a kid but the nuke plant almost messed me up til i was an adult lol
These Simpson games were the ones I always wanted as a kid but never could afford to buy, after watching this video I am glad I never did as I would have rage quit .
Wait... The end of this game isn't rage quitting on level 1?
Lol I literally never seen level 2 till now and this was one of the NES games i played the most
My dad rented this at least 20 times for me. It took 17 weekends to beat level 1. I tried 3 more times and got to the museum a few times, but my platforming and damage control skills weren't good enough and I gave up after half a years worth of weekends indoors. Lol good times!
Never made it to level two
This game is happy end. :)
haha, I know, right?
You're like the Bob Ross of video games, and not just because of the soothing voice.
Making this game look fun, and even playable is definitely artistry. I might even say this is your masterpiece, so far. = )
Good stuff as always, my friend.
Patman qc already deemed himself the bob Ross of video games as he has it at the beginning of every video.
I feel that!
@@one7decimal2eight that's not really a thing you get to decide for yourself.
It's cos he has a pube head

Watching this channel is like my new Saturday morning cartoons.
Good call
Love that! Thank you!!
I agree, prefect blend of nostalgia and education on classic stuff we grew up with!
Nice.
Yeah, i look forward to Saturdays at 7am (los Angeles). Settle down with coffee and donuts and watch these on the big screen
Man, you not only are killin it at these games, but you make it look easy AND teach it easily.

Reminds me of me and my friend. He was so good at it. A genius I thought. I was real bad. Interesting game. The memories!
There was no way possible to beat this game without a guide. Forget beat, passing level 1 is a miracle
As a kid, I got pretty good at beating level 1. That said, after watching this video I realized that I did actually manage to beat level 2 at least once. However, level 3 was where I gave up. Probably from pure frustration.

So Bart collects radioactive uranium isotope rods with his bare hands without dying, but he has a hard time dealing with freshly laid concrete? Good stuff!
You can't pick and choose your strength and weaknesses.
He's a Simpson, radiation is like mother's milk to him.
He'll die in a few months lol
Ummmmm., bartman can pick them up. That's not bart at all... two wayyyyy different people bro... That's like putting Clark Kent against superman, or... idk, Bruce Wayne vs batman. There's just no comparison between the two.
Logic don't exist when it comes to video games.
What a ridiculously cryptic game. Once you know all of the secrets it doesn't seem so bad but still. Insanity.
Remember this game fondly from decades ago! Thank you for such a comprehensive runthrough. LOADS of secrets I never knew about. Three questions if I may: -
1) I vaguely remember one of the 45% discount shops holding a secret - you hold up for 5 secs in a doorway. Think it's like the bin where there's hats inside. Have I remembered correctly or did I dream this?
2) What happens when you jump off the diving board into the water on the hour?
3) Is there a way to spawn Marge at the elevators? Vaguely remember something, but can't remember.
Love this game!!!! Brings back memories of simplicity in life! Never could get past the museum
The museum was the furthest I ever got in the game. I died on the cock heads across the pond. I only ever did that one once sadly. I used to lose a lot of lives on the shopping mall and I almost always lost on it Krusty Land with the bag pipes and such.

You're crossing off so many things off my bucket list that I didn't know I needed closure on, lol
Newer played this one but my parents got me the sequel “vs the world” and man was it hard for an eight years old boy.
Hopefully you’ll get to the sequel someday
Either was, great video as always 👍
I owned both "vs the World" had a couple super tedious levels especially the North Pole stages. Both had some difficult platforming. The Hollywood area at the end had some hard levels too.
I agree the controls and the no continues made the game too hard. Great job with the channels
I was about to request this game.
Like: Roger Rabit and Cool World.
@Tashiro Sato
Already know that, so??
Do you have thing for humans meeting cartoons
@@haileyshannon7548 hmm no...
huh, never played this one, and only faintly remember hearing about it. And yet this was still a fun watch.
Anyhow, I am a recent subscriber and think you do a fantastic job. You combine the best parts of a walkthrough, a game guide and a retro review, and the pacing of all three somehow really works. You're naturally funny, and you're genuine in your appreciation for these games. I look forward to more of your content. Sorry for all the gushing.
Some humble recommendations from my own NES library to consider for the future: Pro Wrestling, Astyanax, Faxanadu, Deja Vu, Castlevania 3. Thanks!
What if I told you I'm 100% on board and ready for this episode, and what if I told you I'm looking forward to everything else you put out?
All-right!
I want to try this game again. I had no idea there were so many secrets. Its impossible to know half of them.. I hated this game as a kid for how stupidly hard it was but this guide gives me hope.
The bad endings if Bart lose we’re hilarious. If you lost on the last level it was two robot Homers as the ultimate destroyer
Wow, I never made it as far as level 2 boss. I never knew there was so much more game. Like others had mentioned, this was a rage quit title came out when I was 11. You make such great content. I am happy to have stumbled on you. Been watching a lot of your back catalog. You have a world class way of presenting.
the only good Simpson's game in the 90's was the arcade beat'em up,then later hit and run and the Simpson's game on Xbox 360
I'm like one of the 8 people who enjoyed the Genesis version of Bart's Nightmare. At least the Bartman and Itchy and Scratchy levels
I just added a sound bar above the TV in my toolbox at work and was enjoying this game. Awesome to see this on recommended
This seems like one of those games that if you didn't know how to get the extra hidden lives and coins, or a walkthrough to tell you what to do on level 1... you'd never beat it
Trial and error. I eventually managed to complete this one years ago, but others I struggled with. I think it was dependent on what games you owned and could invest the most time into. Or traded with friends for.
And once again...your guide helped me to beat this very hard and very cool game of my childhood!! Great video and perfect tutorial as usual! Thanks!!
2:08: I know what you are thinking, and YES, that guy starring in "They Live" IS none other then late pro wrestling legend, and icon of trash talking and ass kicking, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper!
OMG it totally is!
'I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick a**... and I'm all out of bubblegum.'
and the guy he fights with in the alley does the voice of the president on rick and morty
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Don't forget Keith "Captain Anderson" David is also in "They Live!"
@@endykun Funny he sounded and looked more like Julius from Saints Row.
GUARDIAN LEGEND. Top tier but still underated. Exactly what will keep this channel growing.
I remember calling the Nintendo Hotline for help with the Dinosaur boss
I bet they got a lot of calls about that one! "Hey Bill, its another kid about that Dinosaur in the Simpsons"
I thought everyone back in the old days purchased the Nintendo power magazine for hints and tricks and tips
I just wanted to say that I'm loving your channel. And not out of nostalgia -- I'm in my mid forties, but sadly I never had a video game console when I was growing up. No, I'm loving it because the gameplay is fun, your commentary is extremely chill and nice, and the expertise you demonstrate is simply mind-blowing. Keep it up!
(And... Maybe... Do some Super Nintendo games too? Pretty please?)
I hated these cryptic NES games as a kid. They were designed to just sell strategy guides.
"So here we're going to jump on this trashcan 14 times". lol
This demo and explanation could not have been better 👍👍
You should do a video on Zombies Ate My Neighbors since it's being rereleased on modern consoles!
This reminds me of those "Game Tips & Tricks" books from my childhood. I love this channel
I beat this when it launched but I was stuck on the final level for hours. My first and only time, I called the nintendo counselors and they did t know what to do. I could hear him flipping pages in a book or magazine. I never thought Maggie would have the final rod
they were probably like “whoa, uh… no one else ever made it this far before. uhh hang on…”
either that or they were told “this costs $3.99 a minute, so keep them on the line for a while before you give them any answers” lol
What were they flipping through Nintendo power magazine
This game used to scare me as a kid! The aliens peaking from behind the TV were so creepy! And the odd sounds from the theme song didn't help either! Never got past the 1st level, so thanks for uploading this! SUBSCRIBED!
Why is UA-cam recommending this now?
Idk but I missed this one
I was playing this last week on my original NES and forgot how damn hard this game is. 😂 Thanks for the video…brought back memories of me beating it back in 1991 as a kid.
This was one of those okay games that could have been great. Controls was 1 limiting factor. The second is the lack of information. The first few times I played this game I had zero clue what I needed to do. You can also tell where the creativity was dialed back in order to finish a game. The first level you are buying different items to remove purple in several different ways. From cheery bombs, to rockets to scare off birds. Covering items with towels and many more ways to clear goals. Level 2 is collect hats. Level 3 is collect balloons. Level 4 is Exit signs. Level 5 is radioactive rods. Most of the secrets are fairly obscure. Why would anyone jump on a single garbage can more than 30 times? It's not a bad game, but the frustrating platforming cancels out any fun you may have had.
Just wanted to say that I love the channel and it's a great idea! I love watching the old games I used to play as a kid get beaten once and for all.
I remember begging my mom for this game.
It kicked my ass.
I feel that! As a kid I don't think I ever got past the mall!
You go from Wizards and Warriors to Bart vs The Space Mutants? That's the biggest difficulty spike ever. Haha. You're a monster.
Keep up the good work man. Loving these.
Thanks Jamie! Wizards and Warriors sort of cleansed my palette, and got me ready to do another hard one
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Hah. That makes a lot of sense. Best new channel going buddy.
Kinda curious if you'd ever do Escape From Camp Deadly, or other game boy games
They are fairly easy, though
I owned this game and played it relentlessly for years. On a good day the farthest I could get was the carnival. This one’s up there with Battletoads for difficulty! Another great upload.
I owned this game, mastered the first level, but it seemed like after that the levels were just super hard platforming. Not like the first level at all.
I know the mall is the second level with that hard ass platforming.
This game was hard and quit as a kid
Nice work, man! I rented this game as a kid and had no idea what to do or where to go. Watching you showcase all the nuance was very entertaining, and makes me want to try it again!
Hardest working dog on youtube is back!
🐕 Thanks!!
I remember spending hours every day in this game. I think the furthest we ever got was level 3. Absolutely LOVE your videos!!
How do you know all this stuff with all these games?
He lived the nes era. Plus faqs
Magic
If you play a game many, many, many times, you're bound to find every finite detail it has.
@@burntyper Okay guy just because someone was a kid during the Nintendo classic days doesn't mean you know the tips and tricks to these games. I was part of that gaming era myself.
Nintendo Power or any video game magazine from the early 90s probably had entire sections devoted to this game
Love your videos. Thanks for making them :)
I hated this game as a kid. Expectations were high especially since the Simpsons arcade game was already released
Sad thing is visually and controls-wise there's a solid package there. It just needed way better direction
Me and my buddies used to play this game, but we never made it past the first level ever, thanks for scratching that itch 👍👍
Speaking of "A boy and his blob" I'd love for someone to explain to me how TF to play that game lol
ive seen both a walkthru and a speed run of that game and i still cant figure it out lol
Its definitely on my list!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames other 2 ninja gaiden games and Fester's Quest also!
I’ve been waiting my whole life to finish this game, It’s been a long
Long long long time. Breaking out my NES now!
As Freddy Quimby once said, “I’m going to enjoy this!”
Dope variation on a play through, the commentary makes it. Good shit.
Thanks, Stephen!!
I think I got to the second level maybe once or twice as a kid... This game was so bad at telling you what to do
How did it take me so long to find this channel. This is awesome!
Your intro always gets me all hyped lol I know what to expect yet it doesn't matter. Then when you all like "what if I told you......" I'm like "TELL ME!!!" 😆 oh and that intro song is on my top favorite Channel intro songs haha.
Never finished the second level we had this game a pirate famicom game, dude thx for this videos I’m drinking myself to sleep today and watching this, your dedication is unbelievable, I have the following request you should do double dragon 2 or 3 solo, no coop
Looks like I know what game #8 is now! Always wanted to beat this but never had the strategies required. Thanks again!
You got this, John! I'm sure you can beat this one based on what else you've completed!
@@UCanBeatVideoGames Thanks for the positive energy, you made it look easy :) I will get it, just not as gracefully I'm sure!
