With the Bartmania chapter of Simpsons tie-in games coming to an end as we approach the halfway point, what better time to look back at the (very few) spectacular and (several) mediocre-to-blatant-cash-grab Simpsons games of the early 90s. You know what that means...it's time for a tier list! That's right, we're officially ranking the best of the worst in this episode and looking back on our original predictions.

From Godzilla to Indiana Jones, fighting viruses in Bart's bloodstream to flying high as Bartman, Bart's Nightmare for the Sega Genesis and SNES has so much going for it.
