From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World video game was released in 1991 and 1992 for the NES, Game Boy, Sega Master System and Game Gear, and in 1993 for the Commodore Amiga. It was developed by Imagineering and published by Acclaim.
The plot is that Bart Simpson won a round-the-world scavenger hunt on the Krusty the Clown show. However, the contest has been rigged by Mr. Smithers in order for Mr. Burns to rid himself of the Simpson family for all the trouble they've caused him over the years (a stark departure from the show, where Burns often has trouble remembering who the Simpsons even are) by sending his agents to take care of them on the trip. Each of the stage's bosses are distant relatives of Mr. Burns (Fu Manchu Burns, the Abominable Snow Burns, Eric von Burns). Bart travels through various real-world locations collecting items, with occasional cameos from the other Simpsons family members.
[edit] Gameplay
The gameplay is similar to its predecessor, The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants, although gameplay had been more controlled.
[edit] Reception
The game met with mixed reviews, though some magazines praised the game for having a more down-to-earth Simpsons-like plot than the previous game, which had Bart single-handedly stopping an alien invasion. Critics also praised the fact that Bart was not trying collect purple things or other absurdities in this game, although collecting all the one-of-a-kind items in each level would reveal a bonus stage and extended ending.
