This game was initially created as Rat-Trap for the Commodore Amiga before being reworked and rereleased as Krusty’s Fun House in 1992.  Playing as Krusty, the goal of the game is to lead rats through complicated puzzles and mazes at the Krusty Brand Fun House.  The clown must create paths for the rats to reach the extermination chambers which are operated by other Simpsons characters like Bart, Homer, and Sideshow Mel.  The single-player game has seen multiple revisions and releases thanks to its popular reception.  In fact, the game received a nomination for the 1992 Nintendo Power Awards for the best overall game.  To this day, Krusty’s Fun House is still a fun puzzle game to waste the time with.
