a Simpsons video game that fans can be proud
of. Based on Grand Theft Auto, The Simpsons:
Hit And Run is a mission-based game comprising

Teriffic graphics, awesome sound including

| THE
SIMPSONS: ROAD RAGE » |
| Available: Yes Grade: A- |
Crazy
Taxi comes to Springfield. Arguably
the most successful Simpsons game until
Hit & Run burst onto the scene, Road
Rage combines renowned Simpsons wit and
humor with hot racing action. Choose
from one of 25 characters and explore
the streets of Springfield as if you
were there, picking up characters and dropping
them off at their required destination. This
game was later the inspiration for Hit
And Run.

| THE
SIMPSONS: SKATEBOARDING » |
| Available: Rare Grade: C- |
The
Annual Skate Tour has arrived in Springfield.
The town has gone skate crazy on the
half-pipes, ramps and rails. You can
choose from various characters. Bart,
Homer, Krusty and more. If you think
all my reviews are too negative, here's
what one reviewer had to say. "Not
fun, not funny. Thus, this game fails
on both levels -- Simpsons as well as
skateboarding" But lets face it,
this game deserves such treatment.

| SIMPSONS WRESTLING » |
| Available: Rare Grade: C- |
Residents
of Springfield are out to tell each
other who is boss. Simpsons Wrestling
sees various characters from the show
pit into a boxing ring to wrestle,
WWF style. Visuals are the best seen
up till now (not including next gen
games) but the game lacks replay value. Simpsons
fans should be blamed for the creation
of this game. Requests to see who would win
in a fight between X and Y were no doubt inspiration
behind the game.

| VIRTUAL BART » |
| Available: No Grade: A Download Now (SNES Emulator Required) |
This
game is the best in terms of quality
and replay value for its time. There
are six levels, all of these including
more than one round. The levels include
Dino Bart, Baby Bart, Pig Bart, and
Mount Splashmore. It
has nice graphics and as a whole the
game is fun to play, but lets face it, without
the Simpsons branding this game wouldn't
have seen the light of day and you'd
hate it. SNES version is nicer than
the Genesis one.

| KRUSTY'S SUPER FUNHOUSE » |
| Available: No Grade: B+ Download Now (SNES Emulator Required) |
You
are Krusty, and you need to lead the
mice into Bart or Homer's mouse smashing
machine using blocks as obsticles. This
game was definitely inspired by the classic
Lemmings games which involved directing
a series of creatures to a finish line
without getting hurt. Exactly the same
goal as the Game Boy version, but in
colour, therefore, this one is better
in the graphics area as well as gameplay.

| BART'S NIGHTMARE » |
| Available: No Grade: B Download Now (Genesis Emulator Required) |
Pretty fun game, in fact, probably one of the best behind Virtual Bart. The game creates it's own realism, because after all, it is 'Bart's Nightmare'. But at the same time this means the game takes place in a different world to The Simpsons, so the game can get away with anything using Bart as the character in control. The first level shows Bart walking down a street, jumping over letters, spitting seeds etc. Nice graphics for it's era. Give it a whirl.
|
| THE ITCHY & SCRATCHY GAME » |
| Available: No Grade: C- Download Now (Genesis Emulator Required) |
You are Itchy, and your mission is to kill Scratchy of course. Use weapons, avoid tar pits, etc. Nice graphics. Shame about the game though. It runs way too fast and you can't keep up with what's happening on the screen. Had the potential to be good, but feels like it was rushed. Makes you wonder why they even bothered. I know once I played it I had nothing enticing me to come back for a second shot.

| BART VS. THE SPACE MUTANTS » |
| Available: No Grade: C+ Download Now (Genesis Emulator Required) |
One
of the first Simpsons games, well, the
first I ever played that is. Fairly enjoyable
and fun missions in each level. In
the first level, you must get rid of
every purple object in sight, by spraypainting
it, or throwing weapons at it. The second
level involves collecting hats in a shopping
mall. An enjoyable game which also appeared
on PC, Game Gear, and the Commodore 64, which
was where I first played it.

Nintendo Entertainment System Games  |
| BART VS. THE WORLD » |
| Available: No Grade: C Download Now (NES Emulator Required) |
Pretty
ordinary game. In this one, you have
to complete mini puzzles and an adventure
game. Some of the puzzles include
'sliding puzzle', 'memory card game',
and Simpsons trivia. The bulk of the
game lies in the adventure mode which
I didn't want to dive into due to the
dullness of the NES color palette which
brings the feeling of the game down. Too dark
and drab, but I guess the games
are fun for time wasting.
|
| BARTMAN MEETS RADIOACTIVE MAN » |
| Available: No Grade: D Download Now (NES Emulator Required) |
Nintendo's
limited capabilities in the graphics
department let this game down. The
levels are too dull. This game is
just your simple, everyday platform
game with Bartman in it. Which makes
me wonder with the whole world of Simpsons
to choose from, they churn out a game
starring two rarely-seen fictional
characters. Nothing original or even
exciting, suffers from same annoyances
as most of the Game Boy games.

PC/CD ROM  |
| THE
SIMPSONS ARCADE GAME » |
| Available: Here! Grade: C Download Now |
The
game was made in 1991, so the graphics aren't
very good. The game starts, and Smithers
kidnaps Maggie (why?). You explore the levels
using your only method of attack (punching)
and the game continues in this style. Considered
a classic for early fans of the show. Also playable at arcades.

| SIMPSONS BOWLING » |
| Available: No Grade: Haven't Played |
This
bowling game can have up to four players.
Each player can choose to be one of 8
characters. This game has cartoon dialogue
and commentary where each player character
either ridicules or compliments another
player character between turns. Was planned for PS2 but wont be
released on home consoles.
|
Game Boy Advance  |
| THE SIMPSONS: ROAD RAGE » |
| Available: No Grade: A- Download Now |
This is
a downsized port of the console version of
the same name. The game sees you take on
the role of a taxi driving Simpsons character.
Features four modes of play including head
to head and road rage mode. This fast paced
game provides hours of fun unlike
those released in the past.
|
Game Boy Color  |
| TREEHOUSE OF HORROR » |
| Available: No Grade: C Download Now |
One of the newer Simpsons games, but certainly not the best. The game does little to improve the mediocrity of other Simpsons games despite being released 12+ years after the first. This one is Treehouse Of Horror themed. Nothing outstanding but then that's becoming expected.

Game Boy |
| ITCHY & SCRATCHY GOLF » |
| Available: No Grade: A- Download Now |
This
game is a lot of fun, and is probably one
of the most original ideas. You
play as Scratchy. You are given a golf stick,
and a ball, and you collect weapons on the
way. These weapons are used to defeat Itchy.
Get the ball into the hole at the end and
you're a winner.
|
| ESCAPE FROM CAMP DEADLY » |
| Available: No Grade: D Download Now |
You play as Bart and you will need to escape from Camp
Deadly. Sound fun? It's not. In fact, it succeeds in
being one of the most annoying games I've ever played.
The most amusing feature is hitting Lisa with your weapons..
but that isn't enough to warrant a purchase.
|
| BART VS THE JUGGERNAUTS » |
| Available: No Grade: C- Download Now |
Another stinker of a game. Your aim as Bart is beat "the juggernauts" at mini games, all of which are boring, very repetitive, and have little replay value. While we don't know who or what a juggernaut is, we're sure they dont appreciate being in such a monstrosity of a game.
|
| KRUSTY'S FUN HOUSE » |
| Available: No Grade: B Download Now |
This
is a fairly decent Lemmings- inspired
game. You play the role
of Krusty, and you need to lead mice
into Bart or Homers smashing machine
using blocks and other obstacles. Quite
fun compared to these other games, though
the Super Nintendo version is more enjoyable.
|
| BART & THE BEANSTALK » |
| Available: No Grade: F Download Now |
The
storyline is a re-creation of Jack
and the Beanstalk. What were they thinking?
The game has a fairly high difficulty
level and lack of continues amounts
to serious frustration. The game designers
are trying but failing on all accounts.
If you're given the opportunity, don't
play this.
