The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants is a classic 1991 action-platformer for the NES where you play as Bart Simpson on a mission to save Springfield. The Space Mutants are secretly collecting objects to build an evil weapon, and it’s up to you to foil their plans. Developed by Imagineering, this entry in The Simpsons franchise blends traditional platforming with unique puzzle-solving mechanics.
How to Play
Your objective is to stop the aliens by altering or hiding specific objects in each levelโfor example, you must cover up all purple items in the first stage. You’ll also use X-ray glasses to reveal aliens disguised as regular townspeople. Play using your keyboard: use the Arrow Keys to move and aim, Z to jump, X to use your current item or run, and Enter to start or pause the game.
Tips
- Equip your X-ray glasses and jump on the heads of suspicious characters to reveal the aliens hiding inside.
- Collect coins to buy essential items like cherry bombs, wrenches, and rockets, which are necessary for solving puzzles and clearing objectives.
- Take your time with the platforming. Bart’s jumping momentum can be tricky to control, so line up your leaps carefully before committing.
