Podcasts about bart's nightmare

The game is cursed... but it comes with a free frogurt!

Coming off of our Simpson's extravaganza, we turn our attention to the other two games which give us less to talk about, but are more fun to play than Bart's Nightmare. We talk about the first bowling game on the SNES; the simply titled Super Bowling. It's fine, if you like bowling and really want to do it exclusively on the Super NES. Then we talk about Phalanx, which is another freaking horizontally-scrolling shooter. Does it do anything to elevate itself above all the other shooters on the system? Listen and find out! And yes, OF COURSE, we talk about that cover!

Okay, okay, I know what you're thinking. "The Turtles game had to share it's space with other games, but you dedicated an episode exclusively to this trash?" Yeah, kinda. It's because we really love talking about the Simpsons and this was a great excuse to discuss the wonderful Simpson's arcade game that came out the year before. Also, Bart's Nightmare isn't trash. It's actually six games of varying quality that average out to be trash, so we do have a lot of ground to cover. We hope you'll enjoy this episode anyway.

**Game talk starts around 13:45**   When I launched this podcast, my idea was for my guests and I to reminisce about the games we played as kids. Both good games, and bad. It's taken 63 episodes, but we're dipping into the really bad end of the pool. Worse than Power Rangers. Worse than Bart's Nightmare or Boy and his Blob. Hell, this is worse than the last fifteen years of The Simpsons. Today, we're talking Virtual Bart.   This was one off the few Simpsons video games I never owned as a kid. We rented it a couple of times, and I wanted to like it. I mean, it was The Simpsons! But I never got into it. I can look past the faults of most Simpsons games because I loved the show so much, but this game sucks. Half of the mini games are borderline unplayable. The controls are hot garbage. A few cameos by various characters from the show aren't nearly enough to salvage this piece of crap.    You play as Bart (obviously), and he gets strapped into a VR machine at a scene fair. The opening cutscene is actually the best part of the game. The machine then turns into a gameshow style wheel. The player stops it, and whatever image Bart's head stops on decides what mini-game you play. I have no idea what happens if you finish all the levels, because I can't beat most of them.    We'll explain what they all are this week. Listen to this podcast and move on. If you want The Simpsons to ruin your day, just watch one of the modern episodes of the show. They're all way better than Virtual Bart.    I hate this game. My buddy Chris is my guest this week, and we have a couple beers while we tell you why it sucks on this episode of 'Remember The Game?'. Enjoy the podcast, and then try to forget this game. 

Everyone knows that most video games based on The Simpsons, sucked.  But, everyone played video games based on The Simpsons.   I know I did. I think I've played every Simpsons video game ever made, except for The Simpsons Skateboarding and The Simpsons Wrestling. It didn't matter how big of fan you were, one look at the back of those CD cases was enough to realize these games were real life versions of Lee Carvallo's Putting Challenge. But I played the rest of them. I owned a lot of them, too. Including The Simpsons: Bart's Nightmare.    For the record, I loves me some Simpsons. Admittedly, I'm one of the old school fans that doesn't care for the last fifteen years of the show. But in it's glory days, I was flat-out obsessed with the show. I watched a couple hours of it every day. My parents knew it, too. And they knew that Santa would look like a hero if he could combine my love of The Simpsons with my love of video games. Christmas morning, a Simpsons game found it's way into our house more often than not.    I'm sure we'll do episodes of this show about some of those other games down the road. Today, we're talking Bart's Nightmare. I had it for the SNES, and I actually really liked it. I think the plot of the game isn't terrible. Bart falls asleep doing his homework, and you have to go through his dreams/nightmares to get the 8 pages of his homework back before he wakes up, which happens when you get a game over. The more pages you collect, the better grade Bart gets on his paper.   OK. Maybe it is terrible. But I liked it. I still do. It has issues, and they're the same issues that plague almost every Simpsons video game. The controls (at times), are awful. It's hard as balls. Frankly, it's a stupid game. But they nail some of the cameos and references to the show, and that's why I liked playing these games as a kid.    I never beat it, but I didn't care. I have great memories of fighting Homer Kong, flying through the sky as Bartman, and popping bubblegum on Principal Skinner's head. I like this game. My buddy Darren does too. He joins me on the podcast this week, and we finally dive into the urine-soaked hellhole that is the world of Simpsons video games on Remember The Game?   And I know, I could have said peepee-soaked heck hole. 

In this, the 53rd episode of Pods in the Key of Springfield / the ninth episode of the Eat My Shorts subseries / the third episode in our newly christened 'Control Pods in the Key of Springfield' on-going...thing, we jump back into videogames (and talk about Shrek for a bit, naturally). This week we look at Krusty's Super Fun House - which is like Lemmings, but not as good - and Bart's Nightmare, which is actually kind of legitimately interesting. It's good! Come listen!email: podsinthekeyofspringfield@gmail.com

The Simpsons might have gotten off on the wrong foot with 8-bit consoles, but Our Favorite Family's 16-bit debut was... kinda better? On our latest Talking Simpsons crossover episode, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and Chris Antista as the crew gives Bart's Nightmare the Retronauts treatment.

In this episode, Earl and Jurek drink Bart Simpson shots while learning the horrifying truth about Bart's Nightmare for the SNES.

Klubben tar sig an Simpsons-spelet Bart's Nightmare till SNES. Vidare pratas det om stridande djur från Hasbro, nämligen Battle Beasts - de små actionfigurerna som ursprungligen var en underlinje till Transformers.
