Release Date: September 1992
In 1992, Imagineering and Acclaim Entertainment released their second Game Boy Simpsons title, Bart vs the Juggernauts. The gameplay features Bart competing through a variety of challenges while performing on the fictional show “The Juggernauts”, which is based on the popular real-world show at the time American Gladiators. Events include basketball, an obstacle course, skateboarding, and fighting challenges. Many of the show’s side characters make an appearance including commentators Kent Brockman and Dr. Marvin Monroe. While not wildly popular critics were alright with this game calling it entertaining at parts and an upgrade from previous Simpson’s Game Boy titles.
