Description

Waylon Smithers has just stolen a diamond from Springfield Jewelers for Mr. Burns. While trying to make a getaway he crashes into Homer, causing the diamond to leave Smithers' hand and it flies into Maggie's mouth, prompting Smithers to grab Maggie (and with her, the diamond) and run off. The Simpsons decide to go after him, but Mr. Burns has tons of his henchmen to prevent the Simpsons family from getting their daughter back.

The game is a conversion from the arcade game. It's basically a side scrolling four player beat-em-up featuring the Simpsons characters. You can choose to play as one of the four Simpson's characters. Homer, who punches and kicks; Marge, who swings her vacuum cleaner; Bart, who wields his skateboard; and Lisa, who uses a jump rope like a whip. Other weapons such as hammers and bowling balls are also available to use. The game's levels are Downtown Springfield, Krustyland, Springfield Discount Cemetery, Moe's Tavern, Springfield Gorge, Dreamland, the Channel 6 studio, and the Power Plant. Each level ends with a boss whose speed and strength would increase after taking a set amount of damage. End level bosses include the wrestler Professor Werner von Brawn, a hot air balloon shaped like Krusty the Clown, a pair of bouncers, a drunk at Moe's Tavern, a henchman in a bear suit, an imaginary gigantic bowling ball, and a martial arts sensei dressed like a kabuki actor. Of course there's also the showdown finale against Smithers and Mr. Burns in a robotic outfit.

There are also 2 minigames between between levels where you compete against the other characters to be the first to inflate a balloon or to be the first to wake up your character.
