A History of “The Simpsons” in Video Games
The Simpsons
Developer: Konami, Novotrade
Publisher: Konami
Platforms: Arcade, Commodore 64, MS-DOS
Release Date: March 1991
Directly after the release of Bart vs the Space Mutants, The Simpsons (video game) was released to arcades across the country. The side-scrolling beat ‘em up was much more successful than the previous Simpsons game. Besides the graphics being much more in-line with the series animation, you could also play with four players, each representing a member of the family. The goal is to recover baby Maggie, who has been kidnapped by Waylon Smithers as he releases goons to stop the family from following him. The arcade game was quickly ported to the Commodore 64 and MS-DOS and received positive reviews, even being named one of the best cartoon-based games of all-time.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
