Krusty's Fun House (also released as Krusty's Super Fun House) is a video game based on the cartoon series The Simpsons, and was much like Lemmings where the player must direct small creatures to a goal through complicated maze-like levels.

The game was released in 1992–1993 for the Amiga, NES, IBM PC, Sega Master System, Game Boy, Super NES, and Mega Drive/Genesis. It was developed by Fox Williams and Audiogenic, and published by Acclaim Entertainment.

[edit] Gameplay

The player controls Krusty the Clown who must navigate through his Krusty Brand Fun House. Each level is a puzzle in which a number of rats (usually ten or so) must be exterminated. Using different objects and obstacles, Krusty must create a path for the rats to follow, and guide them towards an extermination device. Other creatures such as snakes and flying pigs attempt to hinder Krusty's progress by injuring him; he must throw pies in order to defeat them.

In each stage the extermination devices are run by a different character:

Stage one- Bart Simpson
Stage two- Homer Simpson
Stage three- Sideshow Mel
Stage four- Corporal Punishment
Stage five- Bart again.

The game has a password system, notably all the passwords are the names of actual Simpsons characters. The only exception is the best password, which is "_Joshua", a reference to the film Wargames.
