Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly (Game Boy) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

[@boboayame2065]

This is the most brutally difficult game I remember from my childhood, it brings back anxiety just watching it

[@FriggOff361]

i remember getting to blindside bills and thinking he was the final boss and ive bever beaten him

[@orlymhb4740]

Bobo Ayame me too!!!!

[@Timbo37]

Exactly the same!!! I saw that 1st level like a trillion times.

[@VanillaLimeCoke]

It took me awhile to get past this game.....of course I didn’t always play it though. Got game on June 12, 1992. Got up to Lunch mess tent later that month like maybe 6/17/1992. 9/14/1992 - got up to 2nd mess tent.....dinner mess tent December 1992 - got up to Prune Ice Cream in dinner mess tent 12/27/1992 - got up to the campfires section.....but didn’t get that far many other times past that for several more months. For the life of me I couldn’t beat this game without the Game Genie So finally in mid-late April 1993 I got the Game Genie and beat this game.

[@MCPhatman]

I thought this game was pretty easy but then I never could get through Bart vs the juggernauts...

[@brothershamus1160]

It’s so strange hearing specific noises I haven’t heard for nearly 30 years.

[@pyrobison2002]

Eat my shorts

[@circleofstone3114]

Instant memory recall for sure 🥰

[@youisiaint]

eat my shorts

[@nicholaskrupa6259]

Agreed

[@NintendoComplete]

If you ever felt Bart vs. the Space Mutants was too difficult, maybe this will be more your speed. Though it's simple, it plays surprisingly well for an early 90s Simpsons game.

[@starofjustice1]

It's true that as Simpsons games go, this one's better than most (but most are terrible...)

[@groenfan851]

Ahoyhoy there, Fellow KZbinrino! Cool, thanks!

[@gertywhatagash_]

Man what a hard game. Especially for a 7 year old! Believe I seen the 'mess hall' area like twice in my life. This game can "eat my shorts!" Brutally difficult.

[@Nole584]

I remember getting this game when was 7 or 8 along with the magnifying glass and light attachments for my gameboy. Good times.

[@simonh2011]

I had that light magnifier too! Amazing attachment!

[@Cartman1998]

At 10:24 when the Windows Alert sounds Bart says "Eat My Shorts"😂😂😂

[@chesspunk489]

Remember that time you bought me thinking that it was currency?

[@linushyper300]

I remember getting this game waaaaaaaaay back before I even knew about The Simpsons. For example, until I saw the show, I always thought the Krusty 1-UP's was a random fish that gave you extra lives.

[@giorgossulligardakis2822]

I remember when my father was a master at this game and i was watching him winning again and again. good memories.... i also remember that my father was calling it "the bad boy" 😂

[@dave1986R]

I came here just to hear Bart say “Eat my shorts” and “Aye Calamba”. I haven’t played this game since 1995.

[@ls6-ss413]

Man I remember this game. I was 10 years old. Never got more than halfway through.

[@darthdangerzone6666]

This is amazing. I never could beat this game, it always kicked my ass so hard as a kid.....

[@Kay1im3nade]

4:46 Bart Simpson: Eat My Shorts! 8:29 Bart Simpson: AYE CARAMBA!!! 12:30 Lisa Simpson: Stop It, Bart! 8:45: Bart Simpson Saves Madman Mort from a trap and escape to the woods

[@videogamephenomhd]

10:23 - Eat my shorts, dang advertisement alerts.

[@GarthTheDestroyer]

"Bart! Thank goodness you escaped that awful camp!" "No thanks to you, Homer!" "WHY YOU LITTLE...!!!"

[@allenwright9489]

There was no way a 5 year old me was going to complete this game... 😓

[@cooldragon1990]

My god that Nelson battle was just a straight up bullying. As Nelson would say "ha ha"

[@chadkennedy7855]

"Hey look, everybody, it's Sergeant Dork! HA HA"

[@albertoam2]

I wasnt able to pass this game when i was a kid, thanks for uploading this!

[@eikemoosmann4623]

Same here! I always wanted to see how it ends. Got it for my 7th birthday back then :)

[@virtuazoso]

Same

[@handsomebrick]

I read somewhere that people (or critics?) don't like this game, that's crazy. It nails the Simpsons sense of humor and the horror of bad summer camps, and the challenge is satisfying enough. I never knew you could use Madman Mort to cheese Nelson though, that's pretty funny.

[@mickaelrocher8121]

This game is à shitty game with made with the sprite and the gameplay of Another shitty Simpson game No wonder people dont like it

[@aaronboothproduction]

Love the windows alert you got @10:24 :P

[@NintendoComplete]

Aaron Booth Ahahaha oops, I can't believe that got in there. I love how it's timed perfectly as a response to Windows though

[@DieGamerAG]

This is better than I thought, in some ways it's even good.

[@chesspunk489]

I just recently got it and I think it's pretty good. The boomerang/snowball mechanic is interesting.

[@oprisamircovladimir7192]

I did cry to see this on internet. Tnx❤️

[@gasparmc]

damn that game was incredibly hard for them kids back then. the only other platform that I recall being that hard was Kid Chameleon

[@JaythePandaren]

I got this game for Christmas when I was 8 and man was it frustrating but I eventually finished it after a while

[@noway1576]

Bart fighting skeletons with a boomerang, makes perfect sense

[@mushroomhead3619]

It works for Link. Why not?

[@andrewbaldwin9194]

In the instruction manual those were the campers who didn’t make it out alive

[@outpostorange9580]

How many pairs of shorts does Bart have to feed to these enemies?

[@JohnnyOTGS]

It's supposed to be from Bart VS. The Space Mutants when Bart loses a life. In this game when Bart loses a life he says his other tagline: "Aye Carumba!!"

[@NintendoComplete]

Hahahaha! That comment instantly brought to mind that kid from A Christmas Story that's wearing like 12 coats and can't get up after he falls over because he's a ball. ;D Where does he store all of those shorts to feed them with, I wonder.

[@starofjustice1]

Heh, believe it or not at the time actual voice clips in a video game was pretty exciting. The first couple times you heard it, anyway XD

[@handsomebrick]

@@starofjustice1 It probably takes up a huge amount of the game's memory, I wouldn't be surprised it if was like 1/6th.

[@mcdude9578]

this game is never brought up in top lists but it was one of my favorite gameboy games. i could beat the game maybe 1 out of 3 times I made a run at it.

[@rcblazer]

I actually do remember playing through this game using the Super Game Boy. Funny thing is I don't recall the game being this long; felt like I beat it in ten minutes as opposed to over twenty.

[@susanfit47]

In Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly, the player controls Bart from the television series The Simpsons as he escapes from an unpleasant summer camp run by ruthless counselors. The plot is similar to that of The Simpsons episode "Kamp Krusty" in the sense that they both revolve around Bart and Lisa staying at an evil summer camp. However, that episode did not air until 1992, a year after this game was released. Bart Simpson's Escape from Camp Deadly drops the limited adventure elements of Bart Vs. the Space Mutants in exchange for some much simpler platforming with vastly improved controls [...]. The simple jumping and shooting is nothing to write home about, but Camp Deadly would have at least been a semi-competent early Game Boy game if not for the interminable waves of enemies it constantly throws at you.

[@RetroCollector89]

when i was a kid i tought this game was evil, because the first item gives you 666 points

[@MFields2178]

This was the only Gameboy game as a kid and I really loved it and helped expand my imagination. I did beat it and still feel it was one of the better Simpsons games that came out. I liked the NES ones but, to me, Bartman meets Radioactive Man is the worst.

[@NintendoComplete]

MFields2178 I can't argue with you there. Radioactive Man sucked hard.

[@winicz]

The most strange thing is that while I was young, I did not thing this game was diffucult at all...But know I know this

[@NintendoComplete]

I agree with you. I never found it to be hard.

[@blastin1094]

What are the fries made of in that cafitera to launch someone like that, I can understand burgers but even that's a strech, apples make sense tho

[@briangriffinfamilyguyfan81]

I wasn't able to play this game cause I wasn't alive in the 90's but this game is awesome!👍

[@davidnec571]

This game was very good quality for it's time. Many times in the early '90s the Game Boy games would outshine the NES games and I feel like this game is a good example of that (Link's Awakening is another great example). I have great memories of playing thru this Simpsons game as a kid.

[@robinausbayern1999]

I still have this game. And I found a glitch by accident: if Bart moves past Skinner (I think that's him, in the mess tents) while he's blowing his whistle, the whistle will still be going, until you activate it again.

[@robert779]

33 years later…and still the best damn game ever made.

[@MusicInMe754]

I was reading your description and now that you mention it, I did have an easier time with this game compared to Bart Vs. The Space Mutants. I actually ended up beating Camp Deadly as a kid!

[@SpaceballsRVA]

I remember getting carsick playing this in the back seat of the family station wagon and not getting past the cafeteria stage.

[@emojisarepurecancer8097]

I beaten this game two decades ago, I must've had the patients of a saint as a kid!

[@Beer_Baron_]

I remember borrowing this game from my classmate, but I do not remember the gameplay at all! I probably borrowed it for a week, and have zero recollection of it outside of the bees. This is wild.

[@josedomi4372]

what emulator did you used/?

[@francescosorci5595]

Crabapple? I've been calling her Crandel!

[@anarke216]

I had this when I was a kid and just found it an my OG gameboy pocket.

[@ryanv3858]

Used to rent this from phar mor in Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania. Hard as hell. No way I ever even probably got to the last stage

[@DrLove0378]

I played this game for the first time this week, because it was included with a Game Boy Pocket system I bought. It's not a terrible game (and I've played some CLUNKERS in my day); I just found it quite difficult at certain points, and an external light source is a MUST because certain graphic details are hard to see. I probably would've enjoyed playing this as a kid (I'm 38). Imagineering had a tendency to re-use a lot of audio/graphic assets across the games they developed, and I definitely noticed it here. And, as has already been mentioned before, I'm pretty sure the voice clips took up a large chunk of the ROM space. 🤣

[@JohnnyOTGS]

One of my sister's friends had this game. Never played it (as most early Simpsons games are garbage), but I know that the "Crabapples" you use is a direct reference to Bart's former teacher: Edna Krapapple.

[@handsomebrick]

I think it's great, but internet reviewers tend to rip it apart for some reason.

[@mixey01]

@10:22 thought it was my laptop

[@armmagedonepox]

After all these years I still can’t beat it. This and MegaMan: Dr. Wily‘s Revenge.

[@MCPhatman]

Man I remember this game at one time I knew this game through and through.

[@raykanobi19]

This was my game!!!! You made this shit look so easy!! Watching this,i started remembering all of the levels..I don't remember passing it,but by the looks of things,i fell just short....I was a young boy,back then.

[@davidsfictitiousvirtualper3859]

Took me forever to beat this game on original hardware. Thanks for this vid, really helped out.

[@crazymulatto8981]

I remember this game and, omfg, I couldn't even get past the first part....😅

[@MrIAMNOTANOOB]

This came out a year before the episode Camp Krusty, a summer camp with a similar concept.

[@mushroomhead3619]

4:34 Modern Lisa: Yum!

[@Dr.Erratical]

I love retro GameBoy games and I decided to add this game to my cart for my Amazon order, I hope it’s good😀

[@W4lmartbag]

Is ironfist burns just mr burns trying to be somebody else or a burns relative?

[@elwoodjacobs4353]

Relative. All the old Simpsons video games would make relatives of Burns look exactly like him, just with a different outfit.

[@juliet7643]

I remember played this game till the end it’s was my favorite on game boy

[@stantonbentley2534]

How did we ever get through games like this back in the day! Frustration overload! Being a Simpson's fan, I never liked this game. But each to their own! It's a blast from the past so that's ok. :)

[@VJ4rawr2]

I never played this as a kid... but I can tell this would have been way too hard for me

[@carlito24uk]

As a kid i couldnt get to the first boss lol. for some reason i came here just to see the end

[@susanfit47]

Camp Deadly drops the limited adventure elements of Bart Vs. the Space Mutants in exchange for some much simpler platforming with vastly improved controls.

[@Nowicyunvme312]

I don’t know what I expected from this game as a 9 year old but I guess the repetition is what makes a game bay cartridge. I never made it passed the second capture the flag with the hornets

[@Tauro010]

MEMORIES

[@michaelnunes6349]

This game looks hella fun. I wish we could get games like these with the nintendo sworch online gameboy emulator.

[@oofergangi3241]

In this game Bart Simpson has to escape camp deadly

[@chesspunk489]

Thank you captain obvious.

[@torchiereful]

6:24 eat my shorts

[@brianjacobson297]

The biggest problem with the acclaim (LJN in disguise) Simpsons games is that they had no continues.

[@knuclear200x]

To think we had nothing good between Arcade and Hit and Run for 12 years...

[@yaniaseniero7378]

I completed this one way way long ago :D i just trying to remember everything

[@74LOR]

This game was so good

[@Thebossstage1]

This pre dates the Camp Krusty episode

[@gerbelz7992]

Where is Jason?

[@Wuemic]

10:24 Windows 10 Sound😂

[@NintendoComplete]

Lol yeah, that was my mistake. Sounds like Bart is venting his feelings about Microsoft directly after, though.

[@thequ4u73]

I wonder if this game inspired the "Kamp Krusty" episode.

[@Adrian-cw8yu]

MANNNNNNNNNNNNNN... I loved that game

[@mattmatter5643]

I felt so accomplished when I beat this.

[@ZirocoolFotografie]

Das waren noch Zeiten 😂😂 cooles game

[@deckofcards87]

Probably the hardest gameboy game ever

[@stewartfullerton1965]

This was a good game, I liked this one, I don't understand the hate.

[@smittyboy]

Wow!!! The memories!!!

[@Geomanb]

I never managed to beat this games in 1993

[@reiko25]

my first game on gameboy

[@michaelmccarthy1026]

Hard game, but at the same time it didn't suck

[@BenoitAdam2]

This game needs an unofficial color patch.

[@captmarvelhero2342]

28:59

[@_Majoras]

stop it bart!

[@Dorelaxen]

Hmm, hold on a second. I'm seeing a discrepancy. The Kamp Krusty episode aired on September 24, 1992. This game was released on November 1, 1991. Perhaps the episode was finished beforehand and held over till the next season, or was the episode actually based off of the game? That would be really weird for the time. Looking at the game, however, since it's for kids, it's lacking that subtle nihilistic bite that made the first few seasons of the Simpsons so damn enjoyable. Of course, I would have missed it in the episode itself when it came out since I was in high school and DURRR GUURRRRLZ was about all my brain could manage at the time. I guess all of the Simpsons games were like that, as they were aimed at the kids laughing at Bart's antics and not so much the adults who could enjoy the sly social commentary.

[@NintendoComplete]

Too right, I hadn't considered that! It is really odd, considering how similar they are. I wonder what it actually was. I wiped that comment from the description, thanks for pointing out the discrepancy :) And I could definitely see that. I was 9 or 10 at the time and i adored it. Hormones were not yet ruling my every thought. I loved my Bartman tshirt. I wore it until it was falling apart, much to the protests of my mom.

[@GT6SuzukaTimeTrials]

I was almost 8 when this released. I brought it to summer camp in 94 with link's awakening and a few others. Never beat this game though. I've got ADHD.

[@NintendoComplete]

GT6SuzukaTimeTrials Hahaha me too! But I think that's why I could finish it. It was so short.

[@handsomebrick]

In my opinion the Game Boy Simpsons games did a better job of recreating the tone of the Simpsons than any other game, including the current ones which I feel are too superficial in their approach. The first activity of the day is Capture The Flag where Team A is Bart and Team B is everyone else, the second activity is Capture The Flag again and the kids are warned to look out for killer hornets and also the escaped mental patient wandering the woods (there's also a secret where Bart can befriend this mental patient who will help Bart fight Nelson Muntz later on), there are also toxic dumping sites on the campground and the food in the mess tent is all things like tofu burgers, crabapples, fried smelts, liver pizza, and prune ice cream which Bart dumps into the garbage when no one is looking and if he's caught throwing any of his food he's forced to eat all of it, there's that cutscene where Bart and Lisa are complaining about how terrible the camp is and Lisa's main complaint is that there aren't any nature walks and birdwatching tours like the brochure promised, and Bart finally defeats the evil head counselor (who literally has a metal hand) by exploiting his fear of the dark and killing all the lights in the entire camp at night, if this doesn't remind you of The Simpsons (especially early Simpsons) then we've been watching different shows entirely.

[@louiskeiflin5858]

NintendoComplete! I recommend you to play Gekido advance Kintaro's revenge.

[@amerbih7009]

Hmm my first game in GAMEBOY 1999

[@themonkeyhand]

I played this a bit as a kid, wasn't good at it but got pretty far. I think I got to the end but didn't break the lights and the boss killed me.

[@JaredKMarkowitz]

Wait, so there really aren't many hidden easter eggs or warp zones or tricks after all, eh

[@SpecialAgentOso]

hahaha the music and some sfx exactly the same as on nes bart vs space mutants

[@evenmorebetter]

This game is way less ambitious than Space Mutants or Bart vs. the World and TBH is a better experience for the change to a more straightforward platformer. Also, is this like the one game in the B&W GB library that actually conceptually *benefits* from the OG Game Boy screen being that pale yellow color

[@sphony]

I remember beating this game now after watching this. I borrowed the game from a classmate back then. Boy is the ending of this game shitty.

[@israelflores4626]

The Simpsons theme doesn't sound as good as the NES.

[@NintendoComplete]

Israel Flores Yeah, the Gameboy has one less sound channel than the NES. You want to see a really poor NES to Gameboy sound conversion, look at the GB Duck Tales game. Ack.

this game was very hard and no save in it

[@bigpain4451]

Best Game ever
