RETRO REBOOT - The Simpsons Bart's Nightmare (SNES/Sega Genesis)

I have yet to tamper in the rabbit hole that is the Simpsons video games. Mostly because the good lot of them are pretty annoying platform games to revisit, boasting some very outdated controls, even for their time. Bart's Nightmare, however, stands out to me.

RETRO REBOOT - Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time (Nintendo 64)

The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past is one of the closest things to video game perfection I believe that has ever existed in the medium.
