Mark Flitman Collection#
Mark Flitman, video game producer, donated materials from throughout his career to the Video Game History Foundation. Among his collection was audio cassette tapes from the development of Virtual Bart.
These tapes not only have full uncut voiceover sessions with Dan Castellaneta and Nancy Cartwright, but also demo tracks by composer H. Kingsley Thurber, many of which are unlike anything heard in the final game.
