Play Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly (USA, Europe) Online

Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly came out in 1991 for the Game Boy, developed by Imagineering Inc. It was one of those early handheld platformers that tried to capture the show's humor in a small, portable format. You could tell it was made when developers were still figuring out how to translate bigger console experiences to the limited hardware.

You control Bart as he tries to escape from a miserable summer camp. The game plays out screen by screen; you jump across platforms, avoid counselors and wildlife, and use your slingshot to hit targets or stun enemies. You collect items like firecrackers and spray paint to unlock new areas or cause distractions. The pacing is uneven, with some frustrating jumps and cheap enemy placements, but there's a certain charm in its simplicity. It feels like a rough but earnest attempt to put Bart's rebellious spirit into a game.
