Was at my mom's house for an early T-giving dinner and was going through my old comic books. I found a box that had stacks of old video gaming magazines from the early to mid '90s.
One of the 1990 issues of GamePro has reviews for both Bart Vs. The Space Mutants as well as the NES version of Dragon's Lair. As many know, these are two of the most hated games of the era, because of their mind blowing difficulty and just plain poor quality.
Bart received solid 5's across the board with only one 4 when it came to graphics. What a joke! That game is utter dog waste. They're a little more reasonable when it comes to Dragon's Lair, but it still gets all 4's and 5's. They said that while the control and timing is frustrating, it's also "half the fun!"
Were these magazines paid by the game companies to peddle their crap games or what? That's the only explanation in my mind.
