I came across this really cool free fan made Simpsons Tree House of Horror game on Gamejolt, and decided to give it a try. I’m a long time Simpsons fan, and love Halloween. So this is the perfect game to feature for the season.
Its made in the classic style of the Simpsons Arcade game, and has a nice retro beat ’em up feel. One of the best features of this game is the many cameo’s from classic Simposon’s and Futurama characters. Way to many to try to list.

Throughout the game you can switch through the three playable characters, which are Bartman, Homer, and Krusty. The fighting style grows a little old after a bit. I found Krusty to be the best character to play the fighting stages with. Bartman is the best hands down for the vehicle stages. His radioactive eye-beams obliterate the enemies.
There are 2 types of bosses. There are the super sized bosses that mostly can be taken down fairly easily with repetitive jump kicks. Then there are the bosses that are regular size, which can be incredibly tough. I really got my arse handed to me by Leela from Futurama and Maggie. The good news is the game offers more than enough continues to make it through the whole game.
Besides being packed full of really cool cameos, the story line is filled with many classic Simpsons references. With over 20 stages, it seems like the game will go on forever. The devs really put a lot of love into this game. I think any fan of the Simpsons and Futurama will love this game.

If I tried to compare this game to something else other than the classic Arcade game, oddly I’d say it has a Maximum Carnage feel. I don’t know why. Maybe its the music, which has a nice retro feel to it.
I tried to create a gameplay video for this post. It took me over an hour and a half to beat the game, only to realize OBS just recorded a black screen. I have bad luck with that software. This game has been around for a while, but is still new to many gamers. I felt I needed to get this awesome free fan made game out to our audience asap. So I decided to skip the video, and just use the developers.
