This is a terrible Simpsons game; I know there are others, but I'll get to them later. The Story is Bart falls asleep doing homework and dreams of his homework flying away and he tries to get the pages back, because apparently dreams can tell you correct answers to things you don't know (this is sarcasm), the story sucks thanks to that Plot hole, because a Bart action game can easily be good, just not this time. The Graphics are actually good for NES and help with the adventurous tone with its colors and style that feels like a game based on the show. The Gameplay is you walk around an endless street with many hazards well looking for the 8 pages when you land on a page you choose between 2 random colors each for a different challenge, there are 5 in total, a Bartman flying level where you avoid hazard and shoot 5 bosses at most with your slingshot, this was fun,
there's an Indiana Jones like challenge where you get to the end of the stones well avoiding enemies and obstacles, this can be fun, but hard and you do it twice for 2 pages, there's an Itchy and Scratchy where you kill all the Itchys, Scratchys and common household items until you can make it to the end, this game is terrible, because you can get hit even when it looks like you're at a different angle and if you die, you can get killed by them again before you have a chance to escape them, and you have to do it twice for 2 pages, there's a Godzilla stage where you shoot down tanks, rockets, fighter jets and destroy buildings to get to the end, this is fun actually, but you don't have a health bar, so you don't know how many more hits you can take, and after you complete this one you have to climb a building well avoiding stuff thrown from windows and Marge as a giant moth, this is frustrating because sometimes the items dropped come from offscreen, so you can't always see them coming, the last challenge has you blow up germs and touch dead skeletons to make it to the end, this is not actually fun since it's the same thing over and over again and it's not something that is fun in the first place. But what annoys me the most is that if you get enough points, you can get a high grade without finding all the pages, making collecting ALL the pages feel useless, why not just end the end when you get enough points? The Music is hard on the ears when you start the game and the rest range from it works to don't care for it. Sounds are not the best when compared to other games, they can get really odd sounding. This game IS terrible with fun moments, but the problems overshadow them in incompetence.
