I think they didnt even wanted to make a game with aliens in it since you don’t even fight the aliens at any point not even at the end. And the other things you collect are balloons and exit signes.
There are several layers of nostalgia going on here...NES games, coming home after school to watch old 90s Simpsons reruns before starting homework, and watching AVGN way the hell back in 2007 reminiscing about old Simpsons games. I thought most Simpsons games were pretty lame, but most of my friends owned at least one of them (most likely given to us for Christmas by a well-meaning uncle) and those memories will live on forever. Can't believe these videos are going on 10 years old now...
Bart is against the world in Bart Vs The World because HE wanted to destroy the world, because he didn't want the Space Mutants to destroy it. He's destroying the world through a shitty game.
Simpsons Wrestling, Simpsons Skateboarding and Bart's Nightmare are the 3 worst simpsons games ever, while Hit & Run, Road Rage and The Simpsons Game are the best simpsons games
I played the GBA version, and i had my fun with it, but i did not feel like unlocking everything, so i just got the password that says i hit the $1,000,000 mark
1.Why are you telling me to kill myself because I don't swear 2.Don't say cuss, say swear. It's better 3.I live on Earth 4.I didn't whine about swearing, I quoted him. Re-read the comment 5.No you didn't.
Hit & Run is my by far my favorite. The Simpsons Game was also pretty good, but really short. Put in some good video game references and you got a sandvich full of awesomeness!
The thing I like about the Space Mutants game is prank calling Moe. I love when Bart prank calls Moe's Tavern. Jaques Strappe, I.M. Adope, Stu Piddidiott, Oliver Closeoff, and Isabelle Ringing. LMBO 🤣🤣 I also love when Homer says "D'oh!"
I can't believe the Simpsons has been around for six generations of game consoles. And they're still going! Like November 2013, newest episode is on hulu!
I had Bart VS the world as a kid - I loved it, really really did - though I still agree with everything the nerd said about it (except the big with maggie at the start - climb up the pole, nerd!!) and that later level DID get VERY VERY carried away!! - But thank FUCK I didn't have Bart VS the Space Mutants!! - Jesus Christ, as a kid I HEARD about it, where I lived wasn't very video-game-news-like, so I had to go from word-and-mouth - all I heard was the name of the game. I was like "Versus the SPACE MUTANTS?! - Awww... that sounds WAY better than the one I got!!" - But... naw. Ahh-naw. I'm glad I had what I had. You can keep your weird "Vs space mutants but-every-boss-is-human-for-no-reason" game.
This series is an integral part of the Net. I wish I had released some of my reviews on TH-cam back in the day for posterity, but I uploaded them to several similar video sites, all of which are now defunct. I was barely able to archive them all, and there are probably some I haven't been able to archive. Sad times.
ConsoleWarSucks I agree. It runs with no issue on any machine today (at least one running windows 7) I find the graphics to be okay and they work but they're not exactly appealing to most and don't scream "The Simpsons"
Grump Taco Not to this day. If you said they were heavily stylized, then they aren't too bad, but in reality they were 'eh' at the time and pretty shit now. It wouldn't stop me from playing it, though.
I'm guessing we've all figured out that Bart's sprites for his shorts at some points during the gameplay of Bart vs the Space Mutants were purple instead of blue, meaning those aliens could easily have taken them as well. Talk about eating his shorts.
I hate when people say something like "Oh man Dexter's Lab should have been on air longer!" and then turn around and complain about the Simpsons and Spongebob still being around, and that "Only the old episodes were any good." My family and I still watch the Simpsons together and find it funny, and I occasionally find new episodes of Spongebob funny here and there.
Yeah man Im with you, even though ive got my own hypocrisies like with bands. Ill catch myself saying it wa better before. Hard habbit to get rid of. But i agree with you, we often speak before experiencing. Simpsons is still on thats proof enough they haven't completely lost the touch.
I agree but to be honest I don't enjoy much simpsons any more. I think I've just watched it for so long that the show no longer surprises me any more. So the writers have to keep coming up with new ways to throw people off guard while still retaining classic elements. But...it just doesn't interest me much any more. I do dislike hypocrisy like when you describe, though.
I can agree on The Simpsons, but honestly Spongebob Squarepants ended in 2004 when Derek Drymon and Stephen Hillenburg bailed and I do not laugh at all at that show anymore since.
Shows change over time, and so do people’s opinions. I don’t think it’s hypocrisy to wish that one thing existed more and for another thing to exist less. Is it hypocrisy to wish you ate more potato chips and less french fries? People want more of what they want and less of what they don’t want. And if that’s hypocrisy, then I’m not sure what isn’t.
I been watching ur videos, really takes me back. All the frustration and hell I'd put myself through as a kid trying to beat these games. Love ur work, thank u
I think had I been born 15 years earlier, I wouldn't be a gamer at this age. I think it really appealed to a different desire and sort back then in many ways. I live the games I had when I was little, n64 mostly, but I'm glad gaming is as it is now, as much as some people whine about it. The depth and variety is what makes it so great for me. And as for Merv Griffin, the guys a real cool customer, he puts the Nash in Nashville, and the pow in Kung pow chicken.
See , I grew up with the sixth generation consoles , and I feel the same! Haha. People who whine are just nostalgic for the handful of actual classic games that were good on older consoles , because in reality , most consoles had a library of shit games , as they do now. All that's changed is that we have better graphics , games like Dark Souls with ridiculously deep stories with the better graphics aiding it , and Fallout with huge open world environments , games with hundreds of hours you can put into them , all aided by the technological enhancements of the now...
I am glad about what gaming was - look at Dragon Age for example. In origins you could wear any armor and any weapon provided you have the strenght, regardless of class. There was crossbows too. In new inquisition you can not wear light armor as warrior (unless its made of special material) Wow that is variety! And removing crossbows (xept Bianca) and blood mages really adds to variety! And this is happening with almost every franchise - degradation. Dont get me wrong, i like Inquisition, new graphics is nice, but could not you have new graphics without removing content?? That is bullshit. BF 1942 have submarines. BF4 have 1 sub that is just prop and you cant enter it. Yay! But hey, at least we can ruin your immersion by giving you DLC with GLADOS eye in Skyrim!
***** But that's the potentially awesome thing about modern gaming. It's developed in such a way that there can be something for everyone. You want platformers? There are platformers. You want CRPGs? There are CRPGs. You want JRPGs? There are tons. You want Zelda clones? Fighting games? Tactical games? You want a specific niche of any of the above? You can probably find it. I mean, sure, the shelves are lined with CoD and GTA clones, but even the consoles have downloadable games, making shelf shares virtually irrelevant. And hell, there's a cottage industry in servicing old consoles and cartridges. Even if you really have a hankering for Jekyll and Hyde on the NES, you can probably get it. What a glorious age in gaming!
I had as a child that "The Simpsons" NES-game and I don't know how to play it. What this video taught me? Life is not no fuckin' Rainbow land icing sugar, damn it!

Simpsons Wrestling, Simpsons Skateboarding and Bart's Nightmare are the 3 worst simpsons games ever, while Hit & Run, Road Rage and The Simpsons Game are the best simpsons games
Jason Doucet I enjoyed Wrestling onPS1, but the graphics were terrible, even by Playstation standards.
FilmFlaw thats the worst part about the game, it could have been a decent game if it werent for the poor graphics
FilmFlaw I don't like the new sports games. they focus more on the graphics.
IMAWIZARD45 and most of the sports games these days are the same games as the previous year but with minor graphic improvements (ex: Madden NFL)
how dare you not put the arcade game on this list
Has anyone played Simpsons Road Rage? I remember playing that. It was fun.

I played the GBA version, and i had my fun with it, but i did not feel like unlocking everything, so i just got the password that says i hit the $1,000,000 mark

The shorts eating sound effects keep me coming back.
I love that these old videos still hold up just as well as they did when they were made

As it’s now 21 years old I would love to see the Nerd review The Simpsons Hit and Run, Road Rage too. They’re old enough now to be retro/nostalgic.
the end when the nerd ate his shorts is hilarious

ok
I hope he didn’t eat any shitstains.
When he switches the game and says eat my shorts is the funniest part.
2:34 Wow! Bart’s really packing a punch (or a stomp); the ball flies into outer space 🤯!
I haven't played it in years, but Bart vs the World was one of my favorite games as a kid. I never realized how bad it was
Me 2
It's fucking hard and the controls along with going through platforms sucks ass
2 hits and you're dead: so it's ghosts n goblins with a Simpson's skin.
Speaking of Bart Simpson video games, I'd like to see the AVGN do an episode on Bart's Nightmare and Virtual Bart!
They should make Virtual Bart on Virtual Boy.
Jark Spore AHHH!!! NOOOO!!
Indeed!
The NC did the former.
So who else got this in their recommended? Finally, a TH-cam algorithm that I can follow.
Hit & Run is my by far my favorite. The Simpsons Game was also pretty good, but really short. Put in some good video game references and you got a sandvich full of awesomeness!

I can't believe this episode came out the same year as the Simpsons Movie. Both seem like two weeks ago
These were considered as Disney based games now. “The Simpsons” games are all Disney games now, because the show is now on Disney+.
