Acclaim I’m begging you guys just sell your soul to Konami and license the arcade game. No more stuff by Imagineering or Sculptuted Software PLEASE
Why the difference in his eyes on the SNES artwork?
The elusive Green Shirt Bart
>>12576251the rats are on his head instead of his shoulders
Krusty will catch hantavirus if he lets rats climb on him like that
>Krusty's Fun House was reskinned from the 1991 puzzle game Rat Trap, developed by Patrick Fox and Scott Williams for the Atari ST, Amiga, and Commodore 64Acclaim were lazy mother fuckers
The premise of the game is kinda dumb, setting up an elaborate path for rats to wander into a rat killing machine (operated by familiar faces), whilst there are actual enemies on some levels that require finite ammo (custard pies) to kill.It just begs why Krusty doesn't just kill the rats on sight somehow.
Acclaim was milking that Simpson's license hard in the early years of the show. Back then they probably thought the Simpson's was going to be a passing fad that wouldn't last longer than 5 years or so.

>>12576306>thought the Simpson's was going to be a passing fad that wouldn't last longer than 5 years or so.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_The_Simpsons/Ratings#cite_ref-season1_1-0Simpsons was literally one of the biggest shows in America in its first season.
>>12576238I'm sure in Japan some guy said this about Bandai and begged for no more TOSE or Pack-In-Video stuff.
>>12576365>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_The_Simpsons/Ratings#cite_ref-season1_1-0>Simpsons was literally one of the biggest shows in America in its first season.That's usually how a passing fad works. Nobody (not even Fox) predicted that the Simpsons would have been still going strong past the ten year mark of the show.
>>12576385What would the 'passing fad' aspect of it be? Couldn't that apply to shows like Home Improvement and Seinfeld?
>>12576385Sometimes I wish we lived in the Angry SEGA Nerd timeline, we could've gotten Flying Edge kino.
>>12576397>Sometimes I wish we lived in the Angry SEGA Nerd timeline, we could've gotten Flying Edge kino.Flying Edge only existed as a subsidiary of Acclaim to get around Nintendo's third party exclusivity contracts. Which was a real thing, as Nintendo had a literal monopoly on third party publishers in the North American console market. Acclaim owned both LJN and Flying Edge in the 90's. >>12576389>What would the 'passing fad' aspect of it be? Couldn't that apply to shows like Home Improvement and Seinfeld?Yeah, something like that. Back in the 1980's and 1990's TV audiences were fickle and something that was hot for the first few seasons could easily fall of a cliff in ratings. Producers at Comedy Central thought that the popularity of South Park wouldn't last for very long either. TV producers were always bracing for the worst.
>>12576238Member when that faggot Nesrocks TRIED to make an NES port of the arcade game but it ended up in just some goofy mockups and was in who gives a fuck pause for years an now is ''totally not but actually yes'' abandoned?https://x.com/bitinkstudios/status/1714499564965679311Other faggot made a worthless clickbait article over this whole piece of nothing this thing really was, 98% of these ''dream'' homebrews end up just being ''i was just goofing and toying around to see what i could do and crash and burn at the end''
>>12576429thanks for the heads-up, ChatGPT
>>12576437there were lots of commercial releases back in the day that got cancelled too and never saw the light of day like that SNES Socks The Cat game, big deal
>>12576461There's lots of people making NES and Mega Drive homebrews and finish them, this guy just sucks.
>>12576473if it was me i'd rather a Simpsons Arcade Game on the MD anyway it would be a lot better than anything the NES could do
>>12576238>>12576306>>12576317>>12576385>>12576425Why is it so hard for the ad designers to draw/render the characters on model?
>>12576437Shut up tranny smith!
>>12576425>Acclaim owned both LJN and Flying Edge in the 90's.LOL, so I take it they went the Ultra Games route. AFAIIK, Acclaim published Space Mutants on NES.
>>12576238You know there’s two Classic Simpsons episodes about why selling your soul is a bad idea right?
>>12576590Acclaim were also some of the only guys to make their own NES cart PCBs using an MMC1 clone chip. They sold them to LJN as well.
>>12576686What's the other one? Dancin' Homer?
>>12576504Fuck off.
>>12576810there's just something about early 90s Simpsons that has a comfiness that can't be matched
>>12576731I think he maybe means the Treehouse of Horror segment where Homer trades his soul for a donut
>>12576504>Why is it so hard for the ad designers to draw/render the characters on model?I think the later ads were actually done by Simpsons production artists.
>>12576860
>>12576862Nice. This is the original Bart vs. The Space Mutants ad from 1990. Just for the NES.
>>12576772You obviously didn't understand what I meant, dickwad. Why were the Simpsons characters drawn slightly off in those ads to what they looked like on the actual show?
The other day I was at a gathering with my gf's family and numerous siblings and their partners, all between 20 and 33 as oldest, and I put on the Do The Bartman music video on, and everyone slowly started making silence and paying attention to it, and started asking me what was this or from what episode was this from, like really confused as to how was there such cool old simpson video and they didn't know about it.Wild to think this piece of bartmania is kind of memoryholed from pop culture
>>12576921>this piece of bartmania is kind of memoryholed from pop cultureEven the show memoryholed it LMAO.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp697x-lYNk
Fox must have been money hatting every game magazine they could get for a cover story for the NES Bart vs the Space Mutants.
>>12576946>final fantasy tucked away in a small boxThis would be seen as blasphemy today.
>>12576925they look like they're just burping
>>12577071LMAO, they always look like they're burping when they scream on the show.
>>12577071>they look like they're just burpingThat's the hantavirus for you.
>>12576921>The other day I was at a gathering with my gf's family and numerous siblings and their partners, all between 20 and 33 as oldest, and I put on the Do The Bartman music video on, and everyone slowly started making silence and paying attention to it, and started asking me what was this or from what episode was this from, like really confused as to how was there such cool old simpson video and they didn't know about it.>Wild to think this piece of bartmania is kind of memoryholed from pop cultureYeah, it was a number one hit single from the Simpsons album: The Simpsons: Sing the Blues. I had this cassette when I was a kid. The Simpson's Sing the Blues was made up of 100% original songs. None from the show. Do the Bartman was secretly co-written and produced by Michael Jackson. It has his audio styling all over it. The music video charted on MTV for 2-3 months straight and was even a number one hit. There are also two other music videos, Deep Deep Trouble (stealth co-written by Will Smith) and 'Look at all those Idiots", a track that was sung by Mr. Burns and Smithers. Yeah, it was memoryholed.
>>12576287It's a puzzle game, anon. You might as well ask "Why doesn't Jill just smash the glass case open with a pistol whip?"
>>12577387I wonder why was it memoryholed though. It's a surprisingly good music album for being a licensed cash-in product.
>>12576276"Rat Trap" was never actually released. Fox and Williams shopped the game around and Acclaim decided to license it, but they wanted the graphics changed to sell it as a Simpsons game.
>>12576251The SNES box has less artwork real estate, so the artist turned the viewer's attention to the rats on Krusty's head.
>>12576461BTW what are your "dream" homebrews?
>>12576870Take a seat next to Bort Sompsurn and ingest his undergarments.
>>12576870watch the first season numbnuts, these ads are Matt Groening drawings and are no different (except for colour) than the early show.
>>12578420Production artists from the show made those drawings, Groening himself just has his signature slapped on them (dude's actual drawings are very messy and sketch-like, though he got better at drawing them closer to the stock corporate artstyle as he got older). Same thing with the T-shirts and general merchandise.
>>12576238I squashed so many rats and it's always satisfying
>>12578451Massive schnozz on Bart there.
even as a retarded kid i could tell they just slapped simpsons graphics on some shit game they already had made
>>12579096>Krusty's Fun House was ported to: NES, SNES, Game Boy, Master System, Game Gear, Genesis, Atari-ST, Amiga, and MS-DOSThem Amiga developers really got their money's worth with reskinning their game.
>>12577925I assume it was because of Michael Jackson's involvement
>>12579117lol looks horrid
