	Video games - The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World

The Simpsons: Bart vs. the World is a video game based on the cartoon series The Simpsons, where the character Bart Simpson must travel throughout the world gathering Krusty the Clown memorabilia. It serves as the sequal to the video game titled, The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants.

The plotline of the game is simple. Montgomery Burns, realizing the Simpsons have ruined his life on numerous occasions, decides to kill off the entire family. Giving them a vacation around the world, he sends them to China, Antarctica, Egypt and finally Hollywood. Every location features a member of the Burns family (Fu Manchu Burns, the Abominable Snow Burns, Ramses Burns of Egypt, and Eric Von Burns the Hollywood director) who attempts to kill the family. You play as Bart through the adventures until you defeat the boss at the end of the level in side-scrolling gameplay similar to many 2D titles from the same gaming era. Each level also features sub games such as Concentration, a Slot Machine and a Simpsons trivia challenge that give the player extra points and lives.

Bart can only withstand a few direct hits, but he is able to collect firecracker balls to shoot as projectiles and junk food items to increase his health. There are also various hidden items throughout each level that can be collected for more points and the opportunity to see the secret ending.

The game was released in 1991 and 1993 for the NES, Game Boy, Sega Master System and Game Gear. It was developed by Imagineering and published by Acclaim Entertainment, while the Space Mutants game was also released for the Sega Genesis.
