Play Simpsons, The - Bart's Nightmare (USA, Europe) Online

Bart's Nightmare came out in 1992 for the Sega Genesis, published by Acclaim Entertainment. It was one of many licensed games from that era, built around the chaotic energy of The Simpsons. The game doesn't follow a typical story; instead, it drops you right into Bart's bizarre, homework-fueled hallucinations.

You control Bart as he runs through Springfield, trying to collect pages of his scattered essay. The main goal is to retrieve all the pages before time runs out. You jump into floating portals that transport you to different mini-games, like a side-scrolling segment where you fend off attacking birds with a slingshot, or a Gauntlet-style level where you battle through a monster-filled school. The pacing is frantic, and the difficulty can be unforgiving, with instant deaths and limited chances. It feels like a messy, unpredictable dive into Bart's imagination.
