I never got past that level even once on Genesis lol. And god I forgot about the Bart game until now. My parents forbade Simpsons anything, so played it at a friend's, like I was getting away with something. That was the one with the slide puzzle after level 1 right?
Maybe? I forget. I beat it 5-10 years ago on emulator with very generous save states and rewind, it gets WAY more bullshit, made me ignore Simpsons games for years after I first played the game (which I hear are also shitty), until Road Rage and The Simpsons Game, which were okay.
