The Simpsons: Virtual Bart is one of the many Simpsons license games. It was released for the Super NES in 1994 by Acclaim. It was also released for Mega Drive/Genesis.
Like the former game, Bart's Nightmare, Virtual Bart had a very thin plot that was mainly an excuse to combine different types of gameplay. At a science fair, Bart wanders into a virtual reality exhibit and must pass all the levels to escape the machine. The levels include being turned into a pig, going down a waterslide, throwing tomatoes at students on the playground, riding a motorcycle in a post-apocalyptic Springfield, defeating cavemen as dinosaur Bart, and swinging from tree to tree as baby Bart.
It was the first Simpsons video game released to home consoles to feature recorded dialouge from the show's cast.
[edit] Reaction
The game received even less praise than Bart's Nightmare; for example, it got a score of 40% in Game Players magazine.
