Released in 1992 by Acclaim Entertainment, The Simpsons: Bartman Meets Radioactive Man is an action-platformer for the NES. Players take control of Bart Simpson’s superhero alter ego, Bartman, on a quest to rescue his comic book idol from the villainous Brain-O the Magnificent. Navigating through comic-book themed levels, you’ll need to rely on superpowers to overcome hazards and defeat enemies.
How to play
The goal is to survive various deadly comic book issues by reaching the end of the stage and defeating the boss. You can punch, kick, and collect power-ups that let Bartman shoot lasers from his eyes or fly for short periods. Use the arrow keys to move, Z to punch or kick, X to jump, and Enter to pause the game or use select power-ups.
Tips
Don’t rush through the levels; enemy placement can be tricky, and taking your time helps avoid unnecessary damage. Also, conserve your laser power-ups for tougher enemies and bosses, as your standard close-range attacks can leave you vulnerable.
