This is probably *the* best Simpsons-themed game on the original Game Boy. Considering the competition, however, that may not be as big of a complement as it seems. Regardless, this one's good fun if you can tolerate a few quirks. Levels: The game consists of 6 levels (2 being repeated themes) 1."Flag Capture" (avoid the hazards and grab the flags to progress) 2."Lunch Break" (food fighting behind the lunch lady's back) 3."Back To Flag Capture" (and a stroll through a radioactive sewer) 4."Dinner" (the final food fight) 5."Free Exercise Period" (or Scaling Mount Deadly) 6."Now Leaving Camp Property" (or The Final Escape) Boss "skirmishes": Interspersed between these levels you'll encounter a few boss skirmishes (to call them fights would be an exaggeration). I like how the treehouse bullies' names are clues as to how they can be defeated. Weapons: You'll get 3 unique projectile weapons to fell your foes. 1.Spit-wads: Your default weapon on infinite supply. Momentarily stun advancing camp counselors if you've run out of boomerangs, or are waiting for one to return. 2.Boomerangs: Usually supplied by Lisa in limited quantity, these give you a good distance advantage as well as eliminating most mobile threats (except bees & bears). They'll return to you for reuse as long as you're there to catch them. 3."Food": The culinary nightmares served-up by the cafeteria make better projectiles than meals, but don't get caught winging one past a lunch lady! Suits: Presented by Lisa near the treehouse exits, these will temporarily make you immune to certain threats. 1.Bee Keeper Suit: This one allows you to walk past swarms of bees completely unharmed. Be quick, however, as it won't last forever. 2.Football Suit: For a short while you'll be able to plow through your enemies in this full compliment of padding. 3.Radiation Suit: You'll be safe to pass through the "snowflake" like radiation blobs hovering overhead with this one. Health Items: These items offer "increased vitality" to help you stay away from Burns' brig. 1.Krusty The Clown Heads: Found hovering about the game, these give you an extra life. Usually they take a little bit of careful jumping to obtain. 2.Chocolate Pieces: The dark clothed counselors release these upon defeat, adding points to your hit meter. The Pros & Cons: [+] Pretty fun all-in-all. I never became disinterested in progressing to the next area. [+] The challenge level is about right. Since the game is not timed, you can use more care in lining up your jumps when necessary. [-] The controls are slightly weak. Specifically, jumping feels "floaty" and kind of imprecise. When climbing you have to hold yourself on the surface which makes it feel "slippery", though this may have been an intentional design. [-] No saving. Not many will complete this game on the first run-through. A password feature would have been great (especially for a portable system) for those looking to pick up closer to where they left off/died earlier. [+/-] Replay-ability: Though I'd seen the first few levels enough after a while, my desire to eventually revisit and complete the game was strong enough to earn it a stamp of approval here. So if you're looking for a Game Boy Simpsons game that's a cut above the rest this would be the one. If you're looking for the best the system has to offer, check out "Link's Awakening".Read full review
I got this game because it was one of my first game when I just got my first gameboy! And I had to bring it back to my possession and added to my collection. Fun factor high and challenging! The memories, Ay, CARAMBA!

this is one of the first original simpson's games. it has retro graphics and is amazing for a original gameboy game. this is ideal for the super gameboy combo (for the snes). like all early games there is no saving function. this is a classic game and is reasonably cheap for an amazing game
