Summary

For the fourth time, the Talking Simpsons crew takes over Retronauts to explore the long legacy of Simpsons games. This week, they shine the spotlight on Virtual Bart, which applied the then-burgeoning hype over virtual reality to The Simpsons with mixed results (at best). On this episode of Retronauts Micro, join Bob Mackey, Henry Gilbert, and Chris Antista as they ask the tough questions like "Why is Bart a pig for some reason?" and "Why is Bart a baby for some reason?" Note: none of these questions actually have answers.

1:02.2	And since we did Virtual, I'm sorry, we did Bart's Nightmare about a year ago. I decided,
1:06.0	let's do Virtual Bar, and boy, I think I made a mistake.
1:10.0	I made a huge mistake. The same as live on the Simpsons.
1:13.8	All right.
1:15.4	But this one's, uh, this one's weird.
1:17.4	It's weird. It's weird.
