Making Bartman the protagonist of a video game was a no-brainer, and Imagineers seems to have figured it out. Filled with the show’s trademark humor, potentially creating goofiness, and with even more creativity, The Simpsons: Bartman Meets Radioactive Man was bound to be a hit.
At least things are off to a good start. From some great-looking cutscenes to a decent opening level full of tricky platforming, I had a good sense of what was to come. However, NES-style difficulty really ramps up. Remember those blind jumps in Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania? Well, they’re here. Furthermore, there is no password system. In other words, when you die, you’re done. It got off to a good start, but fell short of our high expectations and those of our readers.

The Simpsons: Night of the Living Treehouse of Horror is certainly a great-looking late Gameboy Color title, but if you’ve played other 2D side-scrolling Simpsons games, you’ll want to know what this game has to offer. I already know. This is a real shame, because the Treehouse of Horror theme deserves better.
Let’s start with the good ones. level. Each character gets its own level with different style and sense of terror. Marge confronts the zombies, and one of Homer’s donut-lovers turns him into a vampire his hunter.But even though he licks the paint, he is very a bit level difference. The stages reuse assets and stick to similar level layouts, so while the theme might appeal to you, you’ll quickly get bored of it. It doesn’t help that the Boy Color title of this game is pretty frustrating, as what should have been a perfect Halloween game turned into a bit of a handheld horror show for him.

A Simpsons game full of different playstyles sounds good on paper, but Virtual Bart has some pretty big obstacles that keep it from being fun.
It’s a fun game, let’s give it a go. Bart as the lead was a perfect choice, with each game’s funny setup and his trademark sarcasm and jokes giving us laughs. Patience is tested when a molasses escapes the factory like a trip through molasses. Especially when the game is that hard and difficult, there is no real reward other than novelty and humor.

Trying to join the many other cracking platformers that came to the Game Boy in the early 1990s, Bart Simpson’s Escape From Camp Deadly superficially resembles its Super Mario Land-esque brethren, I am disappointed. By frustratingly arbitrary difficulty and lack of originality.
Sent to a summer camp run by Ironfist Burns and filled with bullies, Bart and Lisa try to escape unscathed and make it to safety. The game has some good platforming ideas with different Simpsons-inspired weapons that Bart can wield against his enemies, but it’s somewhat uninspiring compared to other platformers of the time. It doesn’t help that the game actually bears little resemblance to the TV show. Yes, Bart, Lisa, and a handful of other Springfield residents show up here and there, but the TV There are few links to previous seasons.

Released almost immediately after The Simpsons: Bart vs the Space Mutants, this title was a more standard platformer. And while it doesn’t reinvent the wheel in level design, The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World comes with improved controls, which is a huge bonus if you’ve played the early Simpsons games. In addition to this, the simplicity of the game made it an overall more enjoyable experience.
Bart vs. the World does another important thing right. A globe-trotting level structure introduces more references to The Simpsons TV show than ever before. You can also face off against Mr. Burns’ extended family. This game may not be a classic by any means, but unlike some other games with the show’s name, it at least felt like a part of The Simpsons universe.

The Simpsons: Bart vs the Space Mutants was the first proper attempt to create a platformer set in The Simpsons universe, rather than a standard side-scrolling game that happens to feature Simpsons characters. As Bart, you can take on a wave of aliens that have taken over Springfield.
To foil their plans, you must complete an objective on each level (removing purple items, popping balloons, good old anti-alien stuff).Result is moderately It’s a capable platformer, but when the game was first released in 1991, it featured controls that were so unwieldy that few could make it past preliminary levels.

Not to be confused with The Simpsons: Itchy & Scratchy in Miniature Golf Madness. The Itchy & Scratchy Game simpsonsSpace TV characters. Of course not.
Unlike golf-themed games, The Itchy & Scratchy Game is much closer to a platformer. You play as Itchy and must stop the oncoming Scratchy hoard by using axes, shurikens, swords, and a whole host of similar OTT options to dispose of them in classically terrifying ways. After dispatching a predetermined number of cat antagonists, you have to take on the boss version to complete the level before doing something very similar in the next location. but it captures some of the mind-numbing violence of the popular Springfield skit for no reason.

One of the best Simpsons games on the NES, Krusty’s Fun House takes one of the show’s most iconic characters and knows how to make the most of the source material. Krusty is more than a simple platformer, you must navigate maze-like levels, solve puzzles, collect rats, guide them through stages, and exterminate them. Yeah, it’s like Lemmings, but it’s trying to do the opposite.
Of course, you yourself are not safe, but armed with your trusty pies, you can make your way past the enemy, total your own clown. Even if it’s a little easier for this generation, it can be quite addicting. Still, for a different kind of Simpsons game, Krusty’s Fun House is a decent outing.

It has less to do with The Simpsons and (you guessed it) more to do with Jack and the Beanstalk. The Simpsons: Bart and the Beanstalk uses the popular TV series to retell the classic fairy tale with an awkwardly accurate platform to boot from. Play every plot beat in Climb the Beanstalk, Escape from the Giants, but only this time, with a Simpsons character. That’s a cool addition… right?
Perhaps if this weren’t for a return to the frustratingly cumbersome formula Simpsons fans had to put up with in previous games. It gives it a beautiful and unique aesthetic. After all, a chance to see the best of Springfield in the world outside of ourselves is always a treat.

Kind of a weird crossover between The Simpsons and Knockout Game Show american gladiator, The Simpsons: Bart vs. Juggernaut, is based on a series of mini-games in which Bart competes in gladiator-style competition. Mini-game challenge levels and requirements range from a shoving contest at Moe’s Tavern to a game similar to basketball but with electrified floor tiles. Oh.
As a small collection of games, Bart vs. The Juggernauts is well put together. Some mini-games are more fun than others, but each mini-game offers a sufficient level of brief entertainment for the game’s relatively short playing time. All the challenges based on different Simpsons characters have lots of fun references to enjoy in this above average Simpsons game.
