This is a fantastic article, Vald. I'm not even a fan of the game, but this article actually cleared a few things up for me and I might even attempt it again.
Keep pumping them out!

Two updates in one year? I don't think the website can handle that kind of work load.

same here.
only issue is that you recycled an image on the Bartman section, and you should have the simpsons wiki link open up in a new page instead of taking you to the page itself.
other than that, i enjoyed the article. thank you

The instruction manual spelled it "Blinkie". I'll look into it. The manual makes some other mistakes.

Oops, pretty sure there's a 6th image for the Bartman section and I didn't add it in right.

I neglected to point this out before, but Sqishee is spelled as precedes.
I know there's a thread for this, but this is simply more efficient.

And so, the corrector has become the correctee. Angels will sing of your downfall, JPrime :O
As for the article, I really liked it. It feels like a friend telling you how to survive a game you can't quite get to the end by yourself. It's a helpful guide (I can only assume, I have no desire to actually play that game), but it's also informal and takes stabs at the game and people you both know

| To date, there have been over twenty video game titles published that are based off of The Simpsons, and with the notable exception of the original Simpsons Arcade Game by Konami, they've all been varying degrees of terrible. Maybe not quite as terrible as having a picture of Hitler on the front page of your website for almost a year, but still pretty awful. |
Burn!
Also, it's been more than a year as of this article's publication.

It's not the first thing you see though.
I took it to mean: visible when you load the site, which it's not, unless you're running some shite resolution.

Speaking of which, the site is now four articles overdue for older ones getting moved to later pages.

There is a positively delicious Easter egg of pun in the article. Can you find it?

I like it. It was one of those games I rented as a kid, but could never understand what I was doing. Every shitty Youtube AVGN knock-off just plays the game for ten minutes, rattles off swears, and quits. I've always been curious about it when I see it mentioned, so it was nice to get some info on the game.

So here's to you Mrs. Robinson. People love you more- oh, nevermind. |

Does anybody on the Earth have enough credits for those two super locked articles yet?

I played this game a lot as a kid and I remember it being very difficult, but I stuck with it over the years. It definitely is one of the better Simpsons games ever made and simply a creative game in it's own right.
I agree with Vald that it's one of the hidden gems of the SNES.

After those two first, bad, NES games, I didn't bother with any Simpsons games for a while. So, I never played this game. Looks interesting.
I remember marginally enjoying the Hit & Run game on the PC, though.

Never played the game, so this was quite an interesting read. Nicely done, Vald!
