Play Simpsons, The - Bart vs. the Space Mutants (Europe) Online

Bart vs. the Space Mutants came out for the NES in 1991, developed by Imagineering Inc. It was one of many licensed games from that era, trying to capture the show's humor on the console. The Simpsons was huge at the time, so a game starring Bart felt inevitable, even if the execution was often rough around the edges.

You control Bart Simpson, running through levels like the mall and Krustyland to stop an alien invasion. Your main goal is to find and spray paint purple objects, which the aliens are using for their disguise. You also collect items like cherry bombs and rocket fireworks to deal with enemies or clear obstacles. The platforming is stiff, the jumps require precision, and some objectives are confusing without a guide. It's a game that demands patience, but finally completing a tricky section gives a real sense of relief.
