I reckon it would be fun to do a month on the Simpsons licensed games made for DOS.
As far as I can tell, there’s only 4:
The Simpsons Arcade Game
Bart vs. the Space Mutants
Bart’s House of Weirdness
Krusty’s Super Fun House
And one of them, House of Weirdness, is even a DOS exclusive!
They’re ALL a bit weird if you ask me, in that “where did this thing come from, and who could possibly have made it” sort of way.
They’re from a time when the Simpsons was quickly gaining a cult following but was not yet the juggernaught it was to become. A time when nobody cared so much about its IP management, and game devs were pretty free to put any wild and wacky things they wanted in there.
Also, this is one of the few areas where EGA works REALLY well, with all the bright primary colours, especially the iconic yellow skin!
