    Tom B. Heidt had both Home Alone and Bartman Meets Radioavtice Man commemorating him. They were both released in December '92. He worked on both games, although he seemingly died July 27th of '92.

    the reason ha 2 shares a jump sound with the nes simpsons games despite different developers is because all of them were farmed out to the same contractor, Imageneering Inc, which ironicly was run by former activision staff.

    The beginning of this episode always cracked me up. The first part was from a collaboration he did with another show that didn’t have foul language, hence “crappy” and “poop”. Then once the credits roll, he immediately lets us know we’re watching an AVGN episode by naming the N-E-FUCKIN’-S. 😂

    I know this is old news, but the 2 companies mentioned are completely wrong.
    Acclaim and THQ were publishers to their respected games. Both Bart vs. the Space Mutants and Home Alone 2 were developed for the NES (and SNES for Home Alone) by Imageering, a former in-house studio of Absolute Entertainment. Imageering was known for developing many games for 3rd party publisher, including Acclaim and THQ.

    Publishers and developers are usually not the same in the video game world, and that holds true here. This was, in fact, made by the company that did the _Bart vs..._ games.

    The reason why the games has the same sound is a long story, but THQ was founded by the same Guy who founded LJN and LJN was bought 1987 by acclaim and I believe THQ still had some assets from LJN and used them. Also, the dead developer who’s name you see in the in memory of message was a developer from Acclaim and LJN who died earlier that year.
    I think that story is better than the game.
