It only took twentyish years, but I'm stoked to see comprehensive coverage of Simpsons video games from folks like @bartofdarkness.bsky.social and @glitterjaw.bsky.social!
Whether you're showering them with praise or raking them over the coals, each one is our special little video game guy.

We're all tired of corporate overlords, aren't we?
Do what you gotta do etc. but I figured I could at least have a backup copy of the main video series over on Internet Archive, ad-free and unburdened by the hanging axe of copyright strikes.

#11 - Hey, I Was There!
This ongoing series is really just a self-indulgent excuse to play licensed games I worked on such as 50 Cent Bulletproof, Ice Age 2 The Meltdown, and Predator Concrete Jungle. Video game classics that we all remember fondly, right?!

#10 - Frankenstein
Just like I'd spent too much time researching works created by Americans, I was also spending too much time on things created by men. I picked Frankenstein by Mary Shelley as a work created by a woman and crashed into the more than 85 video games based on her landmark novel.

#10 - Dr. Slump
I'd been mired in American creations and needed to branch out. Perhaps Akira Toriyama? DBZ was intimidating so I instead decided to venture into his first big manga, Dr. Slump. I discovered a charming and very funny series that really woke me up to the greatness of Toriyama.

#9 - Gargoyles
Doubling down on the cartoon nostalgia by subscribing to Disney+ just so I could watch this show. It's a helluva cartoon and the second season in particular is a tour de force of weekday afternoon animation. The games are hit and mostly miss, but still intriguing.

#8 - Mighty Max
Another excuse to run through an old cartoon show that I never got to watch in full. There weren't many games based on the toy/cartoon franchise, and the few that released weren't all that great, and... I forgot where I was going with this. They exist?

#7 - The Collective
I kept coming across The Collective during my research. I discovered nearly their entire catalog was licensed games and thought that examining a single studio's output would be enlightening. Dunno if I achieved enlightenment, but the mix of games was fascinating.

#6 - Goosebumps
Another dip into the literary world and a fine excuse to go back and read all those Goosebumps books I skipped the moment I turned 13 and was too cool for them. Surprise, they're still hella fun to read. And there we *so* many video games based on those books.

#5 - Young Indiana Jones
I would never try to play every single Indiana Jones video game but a subset of games featuring the character as a child, sure. The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles was a short TV series from the mid-90s that explored why Indy lacked parental supervision.

#4 - King of the Hill
This was an exercise in wringing as much from a single video game as possible. King of the Hill for PC has the Lovercraftian quality of driving people mad when they look upon it and I expressed that madness by making video after video about it.

#3 - The Books of Dan Brown
It was time to branch out from television to the world of fine* literature. I'd always wanted to read Dan Brown's books and I did and I don't recommend you ever do this. But the movies are neat and there were more games than you can imagine based on those movies.

#2 - Star Trek Deep Space Nine
I enjoyed working on the Simpsons videos and thought, hey, there's other licensed games. It was only natural for me to move on Star Trek DS9 aka the best Star Trek show. There were only four games based on it but they run the gamut from platformer to adventure to RTS.

You might say this effort started back in 2002, and the YouTube channel exists just because I wanted a place to upload random Simpsons video game trailers and such. But the focused video creation began with this series in 2019.

Congrats to @simpsonstheory.bsky.social and @bartofdarkness.bsky.social for taking on the vast ocean of Simpsons stuff in Collecting the Simpsons! It's a thoughtful look at the history of the show and its mountains of merchandise. I recommend it.
