The Simpsons: Bart Vs. The Space Mutants, is not what anyone would consider a good game, either in it's original incarnation on the NES, or in any of it's ports. It was a strange effort for a MASSIVELY popular license, that looked even worse compared to the beloved arcade machine from Konami that was released at almost the same time.
I figured all this out when playing the Genesis version of the game back in episode 216, but I strangely didn't hate it, although it was wildly out of place on a sixteen bit console.
This week, I revisit the game on a much more appropriate platform, the Master System. Did it fare any better this time around? Or is it still the same, very odd, borderline irresponsible handling of a license that couldn't have been more popular at the time. Let's take a look!
