My guess is that it was rights related, because Acclaim did every home console game of the Simpsons. So maybe Konami couldn't release a Simpsons game even if they wanted.

The reason that Krusty's Fun House doesn't feel like a Simpsons game is because it's actually a game called Rat Trap (for Amiga). They just put a Simpsons-stamp on it and changed the sprites.

I actually loved Bart's Nightmare and Virtual Bart as a kid, partly because of blind love of Simpsons products, partly from being too young to be able to accurately gauge quality, but mostly for the main reason that I *still* find them fascinating to this day -- they're just so *fucking weird*. I agree that we all just wanted a port of the arcade game more than anything and I'll never understand why we didn't get that to go hand-in-hand with the awesome Turtles in Time port as an all-time classic, but the bizarreness and humor really fit the older seasons of the Simpsons in those games and they offered a lot of variety, at least. And some games were honestly fun I think, like the tomato-tossing game in Virtual Bart, I loved that crap.

Actually. in the really early Simpson seasons, Homer did care somewhat about Bart's grades...but yeah, in later seasons, he mostly doesn't care.

I remember reading about Bart's Nightmare in an old Nintendo Power. Notably the disease-type levels; looking at the pictures with their supplied cardboard 3D glasses. I can't recall if those 3D glasses were for that issue specifically, but due to how magazines are printed, they still gave a 3D effect for pretty much all publications.

I grew up with Bart's Nightmare and it's a lot better then you think - once you understand the mechanics of each stage it's a lot of fun (but it is not intuitive at all.) For instance there are three or four attacks in the Bartzilla stage, not just two - it's actually a really fun stage - but it will take some playing to figure it out. It's still a flawed game (the Indiana Jones stage is brutal) but it's good - it just has a learning curve.

barts nightmare is great!

Bart's Nightmare looks horrible on the surface but is subtly genius. The insane difficulty, chaos, unorthodox dream-like flow between experiences, inevitable failure, fresh ideas, Bart's fear of rejection from his family, the surreal reflection of Bart's energetic mind all come together to tell a powerful story that only a videogame can. Yes it is crazy hard, but like any good game that doesn't hold your hand, it is meant to be worked towards and the result is deeply rewarding, even though you can never truly win in Bart's midnight purgatory.

I loved Bart's Nightmare, played it through a few times. Back in tyre day, you got used to bad controllers. It looks amazing, was challenging, and that's it.

Bart's Nightmare is actually a Great game when u know what to do. I remember only being able to pass like 3 of the stages as a child, then I got it for my collection a few yeaes ago and I can actually beat this weirdly great game... Just a hint, use R button to avoid Maggie's pacifier hit on Indy stage... lol XD

Bart's Nightmare was the best of the lot and had a lot of content, it makes a lot more sense after reading the manual and playing a bit. Compared to most licensed games it was pretty passable, decent value and not too hard or easy. It didn't hold up well next to most first-party Nintendo titles, though.

Si para "Bart's nightmare" fue la segunda parte de "indiana bart" la más dificil (por lo que leo en el 90% de los comentarios), prueben para "Virtual Bart" el nivel de "lanzar huevos" (la de los tomates todos los amigos lograban pasarla) ese si era un verdadero reto. En cuanto al nivel de "water slide" que mencionas (Aquí se le conocía como "el tobogán" XDXDXD) su truco para elegir el camino correcto era ver en la linea de recorrido el color que tenía, con eso elegías el túnel correcto y nunca te topabas con el trasero de Homer y solo tenías que preocuparte por esquivar obstáculos en la bajada. Grandes recuerdos del "vicio" con la familia amarilla. Saludos desde la cuarentena.

I've got a bit of nostalgic fondness for Krusty's Super Funhouse and Bart's Nightmare (and a little for Virtual Bart but never owned it). Spent a lot of time trying to beat those games and have waffled back and forth on re-adding them to my game collection. But yeah they problems with the games are pretty apparent. Can't believe you didn't mention the ridiculously hard Indiana Bart section in Bart's Nightmare. What a pain in the ass. I could beat Bartzilla, the swimming stage, Bartman and Itchy & Scratchy but Indiana Bart just was beyond my reach.

I have to say Bart’s Nightmare was more enjoyable once you get the hang of it. Virtual Bart was a very challenging game that took a lot of skill. I loved both of them but Bart’s nightmare was more of the game to play. In my eyes. As for the other two, I can’t really say cause I’ve never played them. I didn’t even know there was an itchy and scratchy game.

I played the Simpson's arcade game at the bowling alley. On the way home I told my dad that's what I wanted for my birthday, that game on the SNES! Boy was I naive, but shit, they ported Turtles in Time, didn't they? I had no reason to believe this game wasn't available on the SNES, too. He came home with Bart vs. The Space Mutants for NES and I literally cried because it was so different and terrible. My mom had mercy and went out and bought Krusty's Super Fun House, and while it was a good game I had fun with, it still didn't soothe my misery.

Great episode. Love Krusty's Super Fun-house played that a ton as a kid. As for the rest I couldn't agree more. Also we soooooo deserved a port of the Simpsons Arcade Game!

I rented barts nightmare once and had no idea what to do lol .

I was fortunate enough to get Krustys super fun house for my birthday right after we got our snes, and I still will pop it in to play it. It's an immensely fun game

After playing TMNT IV and it being one of my favorite SNES games, I remember renting Bart's Nightmare and Virtual Bart from the video store on two separate occasions and both times expecting them to be The Simpson's Arcade.

Bro barts nightmare is the shit. What do you mean "its weird"? Hes having a dream lol. How normal are your dreams

Damn, we all had at least 2 of those games back in the early 90s. For instance, my dad got me Krusty's Super Fun House... but when i was like 4 years old!! and, of course, i just ran around the level, realized it wasn't a sidescroller like super mario world and got bored of it instantly. Then, one or two years later, i got Bart's Nightmare for christmas and I actually liked it because it was bart doing fun stuff. I mean, I never beat it, but whatever, it was cool. Nice video, would've like to hear your opinion on each bart's nightmare mini-game, but it think it would've been too much.

What a waste of a great license. All these games should have been classics.

This makes me glad that I steered clear of all Simpsons games except for the arcade beat 'em up.

A+ Worker & Parasite reference. That bit is still one of my all-time fav Simpsons jokes.

I kid you not.. I was taking a shit when this was released. Are you psychic? This is perfect.

I'm still holding out for a survival horror game where you're Bart trying to run from Sideshow Bob.

Bart's Nightmare is a classic. How dare you.

I played a bunch of Krusty’s super fun house on the mega drive. Its a lot of fun. It’s like Lemmings and a platformer gave birth to a licensed Simpsons game.

Disgaree with your Barts Nightmare review. I used to play it as a kid and found it easy enough to navigate and fun too.

Anybody else used to love the tomato and egg throwing mini game in Virtual Bart? In fact I remember playing this a lot as a kid, mostly because I grew up with old school Simpsons. The game probably hasn’t held up, barely holding up in 1995 I suppose.

"Alright, I wanna thank you. And, you have a great rest of your day."

wow itchy and scratchy game sounds cool that was my favorite part of Barts Nightmare

Bart Nightmare and Mario RPG was majority of what I played at grandmas house. I had Krusty fun house too and hated it as a child. Id pick it up here and there but I spent so many hours on Barts Nightmare never put enough time in it to beat it nor able to fully understand what the hell is going on. Good memories though. The door with itcy and scratchy was great.

Bart's nighmare was BY FAR the best Simpsons game on the console... SNES DRUNK was obviously terrible at it. It was not easy, for SURE, but well worth it.

In the minority here but I had lots more fun playing Virtual Bart than Bart's Nightmare. Once you got used to each minigame's learning curve the end of each level became so rewarding.

I rented Virtual Bart a lot as a kid. Fun fact: it was the first Simpsons game where the show's cast actually recorded new, original lines for.

The simpsons arcade game was one of my favorite games as a kid. I wasted so many quarters on it back in the day. I wonder if it was ever ported?

Barts Nightmare is great.

It took me years, but I have finally beaten Bart's Nightmare. If there is any advice I'd give, the whole game is dependent on memorization, especially for the Temple stages. Plus the final boss of the 2nd Itchy and Scratchy level is where you can get the most points. Spend some time shooting at the fire thingies coming out to increase your score, which will have you end up with an A plus.

As a child, I remember I got the Krusty's Fun House and Bart's Nighmare. Those were two of the few games I was never able to complete. I was never able to pass from the third level in Krusty and never able to get that damn last homework page from the indiana mini game xD

Barts nightmare was freaking awesome

I'm biased here in saying Bart Nightmare is good. I played it compulsively when I rented it from Blockbuster to get a B- final score.

I remember them just releasing tons of Simpson’s games on many ports but all we wanted was the arcade game

virtual bart suuuucks so bad, i got this for an easter present as a kid and i traded it away immediately.

Loved Barts Nightmare when it came out

Barts nightmare should be in your hardest snes games list. That sh*t is frustrating!

What are u talking about bro, Barts nightmare is awesome. The feel, the art and everything is awesome, really unique and cool. Never finished it but lived replaying it nonetheless

Bart's Nightmare is one of those games i got at a young age and blunt forced my way through. It is decent when you know what to do. Virtual Bart is ungodly difficult on the SNES and I have never beaten it.

Did you show the BARTMAN stage from Genesis? I had BART’S NIGHTMARE and beat it more than once but was never chased by a storm cloud or had Krusty Ballons. It wasn’t a bad game, just could’ve been better,

I didn’t mind Bart’s nightmare could be nostalgia glasses from Playing it as a kid though

The battletoads arcade game was great too. I cannot say the same for the other games on consoles.

I loved Bart's nightmare as a kid

The arcade game got ported to MS-DOS and the Commodore64, of all things. I never understood why it didn't get an SNES port.

I remember when I was a kid and I have rented pretty much everything already at my videostore so I gave the Krusty game a try but I kind of expected it to suck. To my surprise it was pretty good ! The puzzle mechanic is different from most puzzle games and it was pretty fun. It probably was another game that they slapped the simpsons over it, so it didnt really matter that it was a simpsons game.

Bart vs the world kind of adventure game would have worked too.

You forgot mention Corporal punishment, in Krusty's funhouse.

Love ya SnesDrunk but u did Barts Nightmare so dirty. Its janky as all hell very true, but it is so complex and challenging. There is an absolute ton of tricks and strategies to learn. The game plays a lot with "Dream Logic", things that are bad when used in different ways are actually beneficial. As a kid yeah this game screwed us all over but as an adult this game really is something special and 100% unique. You really feel a great sense of accomplishment when you finally get Bart that A+!

Krusty's Super Fun House gets hard as fuck after the first area. I think I was only ever able to make it to the third or fourth out of five. Great game as far as the challanging puzzles go. Bart's Nightmare is hard and has a lot of different game modes. The grade you get on your homework is tied to your score though so you can actually grind up your score without actually beating anything, lol.

Oh yes, The Simpsons Arcade Game. My dream PCB to purchase. Dreams, dreams, dreams.......

I was surprised Bart's Nightmare got trashed. Just about everyone I knew was playing it. Personally I only liked the Bartman stage, and that was due to the music more than anything. Used to seek out the blue door for it.
