10 Video Game Moments So Difficult They Were Just Unfair

Bart Simpson vs The Space Mutants relies on pixel-perfect jumps between moving platforms, meaning that you will die many times unless your precision and timing is impeccable.

Annoyingly, precise jumping isn't just limited to platforms. In games like Sonic or Mario, you defeat baddies by jumping on them. Although enemies are defeated the same way in this game, you have to land on them juuuuuuust right or you lose health.

In each level, Bart has to collect a number of specific items e.g. Level 2 is hats, Level 3 is balloons, Level 4 is signs, and Level 5 is rods.

However, the objective of Level 1 is different; you need to turn every pink object red. The most common method is to spray pink objects with a red paint can but some methods are surprisingly complicated.

For example, you have to use a coin on a payphone to prank Moe. Moe will get so angry, he will run out of his bar, which is your opportunity to spray his pink apron red. That seems like a lot of strategy for a game designed for very young kids, which is why most players never got further than the first level.
