Play The Simpsons - Bartman Meets Radioactive Man Online

I picked up The Simpsons: Bartman Meets Radioactive Man for the NES back in 1992, a game published by Acclaim Entertainment. It was one of those many licensed titles that filled the rental shelves, trying to capture the show's humor in 8-bit form. You play as Bart Simpson, who suits up as his superhero alter ego, Bartman, to save Radioactive Man after he gets trapped in a black hole prison by a group of villains.

You control Bartman through side-scrolling levels, moving screen by screen and punching enemies like the Itchy and Scratchy robots or Sideshow Bob. Your main goal is to reach the end of each stage, but you also need to collect all the pieces of Radioactive Man's costume that are hidden in blocks and enemies. The jumping can be really unforgiving, with precise timing needed to avoid falling into pits or getting hit. It feels like a typical NES action platformer, sometimes frustrating but straightforward in its objectives. Playing it gives you that classic, slightly clunky feel of early 90s cartoon games.
