      Har a lot of fun with this back in the day. I thought it was very creative. Back then ya got a game and you played it enough to figure out out.. you didnt have every game at your. disposal. Drives me nuts how feeling critical they are.. especially knowing they have played so many games that ya gotta figure out.. like Mike loves zelda and when that came out if you didn't have Nintendo power or whatever you'd never in a million years know where the secret caves were and where to put a bomb to open up an area.. yet it's the best game of all time. Haha come on guys. Just play the game and if you need some tips get online and see what you have to do since you dont have a manual.

All in all skills were shown here.

    Fun fact: The programmer for Bart's Nightmare, Bill Williams, called the game "Bill's Nightmare" because he hated working on it so much.
    I wonder how much control he had over this game. I know that Alley Cat and Mind Walker and Necromancer, games he developed, mixed different gameplay styles together, kinda like how this game does. But those games had good play control and mechanics, and this doesn't.

      Only this time, all the effort that went in to creating that game from scratch, were done entirely by a single guy within the confines of a trap house(a run-down inner city projects' apartment complex) which the locals have taken to calling said trap house, Fucholand!

    This is one of my favorite Simpsons games. The difficulty and confusion level cemented its place in my brain as a game that I needed to replay as an adult and complete. Mission accomplished btw, after 10 years.

    Seasons 3-8 will ALWAYS be regarded as the proverbial "golden years" among Simpsons die hards. Other seasons had their moments for sure, but the overall quality, cleverness, creativeness, quotability, and simply memorability will NEVER be as strong as those 6 seasons. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

    Owned this game from release and back then, games were few and far between. The cryptic nature .. regarding everything .. and randomness really gave this game ridiculous replay value. The mini games were by far the best part, Bartzilla and I&S being my favorite.

    I actually never beat it all the way... I was in the same “this looks cool... but it’s so hard!”
    I’m gonna have to go back and watch Mike’s play through for the ending now!
    Also I was gonna say “if you play it long enough you get all the secrets” but then you showed me the bubblegum YOU CAN CONTROL?! Mind blown even after all these years!
    Love your vids! Thanks for all you guys all do!

    One day, the cartridge wouldn't work, so I asked my grandmother to fix it. She accomplished this by "cleaning it out" with her long, yellow toenails.
