What Virtual Bart is

Virtual Bart is a platform game developed by Sculptured Software and released in 1994. It was published by Acclaim Entertainment. It is available on Sega Mega Drive/Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Bart's reality goes virtual when he is strapped into Martin Prince's Virtual Reality experiment at the elementary school science fair. Each virtual reality program represents a stage in the game that Bart must play through in order to escape the machine before the programs crash. The game consists of three side-scrolling platform stages and three stages that take place from a rear view. Bart assumes the roles of a pig, dinosaur, and baby for the platform stages. He tosses tomatoes and eggs, slides down a water slide, and drives a motorcycle in a post-apocalyptic Springfield for the three remaining stages. They are all accessed by chance via a wheel-of-misfortune.
