Another Easter egg you may not have known about in Bart's room -- If you go behind Bart's bed, there's the photo of Homer dancing with the stripper from that same episode. If I remember correctly, you need to be in the exact position when you press the action button, similar to the Krusty doll.

"Whenever Marge or her shadow is on screen, all the viewers should be asking 'Where's "Marge!!"?'"

A Simpsons point and click adventure game does sound pretty fun, but I think the closest we ever got to that would be Virtual Springfield, and that was more like some kind of first person exploration game

I absolutely LOVE how there's a top ten high score leaderboard on a single player home computer game.  As if they think you're going to play and beat this more than 10 times.  It really is just the final insult.

3:47 so those weird shadows of homer and marge are almost shot-for-shot from the 2nd verse of the 'do the bartman' music video

The box art alone is the reason why I rented these games I ended up HATING PLAYING WITH A BURNING PASSION! But the artwork is something  I would get a poster of just for the love of the art and style

3:20 the massive boxes were sooo good. Loved hitting the PC stores and looking at all the boxes.

I was born in 1981 and a friend of mine had this on his family computer when it came out and until I found footage of it on YouTube a few years back, I’d wondered if I’d imagined it existing at all

I'm surprised they never made a point and click Simpsons game. Seems a natural genre for TV shows that rely on comedic dialog and slapstick. Think Day of the Tentacle but with The Simpsons.

I just found out this game existed and it kinda blew my mind that I entirely missed a retro Simpsons game this detailed. You have the best video detailing it that I can find.

I think the opening "Go to your room" / Homer & Marge shadows are references or scenes from 'Do the Bartman' 🤔

That Homer & Marge silhouette is straight out of the “Do the Bartman” video.

3:45 The artwork was traced from the music video for Do the Bartman, and the context is that... well, Bart was being sent to his room for putting mothballs in the beef stew.

Your channel is a gift!

Good vid. Subbed. May the algorithm bless this channel

I could see this being called a "point and click" game in the sense that it's a connected series of screens you move around like in a graphical adventure. Back then those two terms were kinda interchangeable.

Watching you play, it's a wonder I got through it and managed to write a walkthrough for it back in the day. But I do remember filling out a notebook (I couldn't write notes on the PC because Windows 98 would swap to DOS mode to launch the game). So I might've just been writing down precise strategies for each screen.

Glad to see you're going strong. Don't let low views discourage you.

Recently came across this channel and have been really liking these Simpsons deep dives. Going into the history, the time for context and even the console itself is very much appreciated and adds a lot to the video. I strongly appreciate that unlike a lot of gaming channels, you're not screaming or yelling out forced, obscene jokes. You also point out a lot of the good in these games, which is fantastic. Overall, these are great quality and you have a great understanding of games while keeping the era in mind and not trying to compare 'this game came out in 1980 so it's not as good as this from 2020'.

Only advice I'd give is when you mention the sound or music, maybe play a sample or up the audio. It's often times very hard or impossible to actually hear the game (which when you're talking, is perfect. But when you mention the audio we can't quite hear it to know what you are talking about specifically).
Looking forward to seeing more from you, Simpsons games (or licensed in general, actually) are very interesting when you go into the history/culture around that era and how they got made

Really loving this series, always an immediate watch when I see it in my subscribers list.  Didn't know about this game, so it was interesting to see.  Looking forward to the next one!
