[TAS] NES The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants by Deign in

[@gameslayer3586]

I love how a lot of old nes platformers have it to where the fastest way to move involves jumping backwards 😂

[@DougSalad]

watching this makes me glad i never tried to finish this game. it's a slog.

[@arkjag2991]

Getting to the museum level as a kid is probably the biggest achievement of my gaming "career". As bad as this game is, it still holds a special place in my heart.

[@-Keith-]

Its special place for me was the rubbish bin, I absolutely hated the controls. :D Seriously, whoever came up with the idea that the run and the jump button should be one and the same deserved a hard slap.

[@rickpgriffin]

I still wonder sometimes why the very early simpsons games had this minor key oppressive atmosphere to them. Then I watched season 1 straight through earlier this year and it made more sense.

_Did The Devs Even Do Any Play Testing Before It's Release?_

[@ichigokarasu]

They shouldve made the first level the power plant, so Bart can get radiation poisoning, die, and then you don't have to play through the rest of this rancid trashpile. Over 30 years later and I'm still bitter.

[@calanon534]

You, me, and AVGN.

The infamous sound of these games is due to one guy that wrote this terrible sound driver Thousands and millions of children suffered.

[@quanquin3822]

Every gamer of a certain age had a run-in with Bart vs The Space Mutants. Of the home version of Simpsons games at the time it was among the least bad, but the only good one from that era was the Konami arcade one.

[@Rydonattelo]

When i was 5 i used to think getting to the babysitter at the end of the mall level had taken me forever, like an epic journey far from home. This dude got there in 4 minutes 😮

I remember finishing this as a child on the Sega Master System. Even though I never played the NES verison I can still see the jank deeply rooted into this version I had to overcome.

[@kevtris]

it's too bad konami or capcom never had the licenses to make simpsons games for the NES. Hmm, at 8:08 or so, is that background recycled from a boy and his blob? the chocolate mountains area. It has some changes but the mountain parts sure look similar; likewise the random "forest" area background at 6:03 seems familiar, too.

[@kyugull]

The movement in this is so goofy I love it

[@villedocvalle]

You know ow the styling has begun when the backward jumps begin

[@crossy44]

I remember trying to play this game to see what the other levels were like. My god I couldn't get past level 2, the things you have to spray/turn blue is horrendous; not only counting the fact that the run button is the same as jump! It makes every jump a jump of fate. After getting frustrated with this, I abandoned the game. After a while I decided to try de Genesis version, thinking it would have better controls and graphics. Nope, everything stays the same. What a let down. TL;DR: This game is slow, couldn't get pass level 2. Tried the Genesis version, but nothing changed.

[@drbizu]

I beat this game when I was a kid. Probably the greatest game achievement of my life.

[@WannabeMarysue]

love some early simpsonsmania jank

[@annienthetoon8941]

i laugh my ass off whenever i hear 8-bit "eat my short"

[@Virrit332]

Man, the early Simpson home console games (this and Barts nightmare, specifically) were just slogs to go through.

[@b.w.k.64yt]

I like the Cirno at the start of the video :3

[@keving82383]

What is the reason behind playing the balloon game so many times?

[@Dimon12321]

The objective of Level 3 is to blow up or touch as many balloons as you can. In the dart mini-game, you can blow up some balloons quickly. However, if you complete the goal of that mini-game (hit 3 blue balloons), you won't be able to play it again. So the author intentionally loses several times to blow up more balloons.

[@keving82383]

@Dimon12321 all this time and I never realized that the balloons in that game counted toward the goal! Thanks for the answer

[@retroboy-fh1ji]

Yo tuve este juego en el sega mega drive. Nunca pase de la mitad del primer nivel.

[@KaguyaH]

Cool, man.

"Eat my shorts" -Bart Simpson

[@bearchamer]

the jumping sound is so unpleasant that i couldn't get half way through

[@_thresh_]

I have an old nes and this is the only game I have for it, and I couldn't get past the first level

[@enriquealejandroboadasdiaz593]

[@Unoriginal_Fox]

cool, man

[@rionthemagnificent2971]

would be neat to have Lenny and Carl as assistants in the final level, or even Mr. Burns, since the aliens invaded His plant.

THE END SCREEN MUSIC STARTS COOL MAN MUSIC STOP MUSIC STARTS COOL MAN MUSIC STOP MUSIC STARTS BART YOU SHOULD EAT MY SHORTS

[@gameslayer3586]

It looks like an Atari game

[@ericwessner228]

That was the stupidest ending 😆

[@Patralgan]

This game was popular back then but when I played it, I thought it controls like ass. I was not having fun at all.

[@derthevaporeon]

What is that thumbnail lol

[@chuyjose2073]

I never pass the second stage, I was like 5 yo lol

[@autumnshinespark]

This gotta be the worst programmed game I've ever played

[@JewelOfSoul]

Funny thing is these game don't seem to have bugs.

[@providencebreaker1558]

@@JewelOfSoul The game itself is the bug.

[@stevenpavelish6017]

This looks like a bootleg

[@CMmeows]

Its a Dan Kitchen game

[@evalangley3985]

That game was such trash...
