The player chooses from one of the remaining four
Simpsons: Homer, who punches and kicks; Marge, who swings her vacuum cleaner;
Bart, who wields his skateboard; and Lisa, who uses a jump rope like a whip.
They must fight through the employees and chase Smithers as he escapes
through various Springfield landscapes. The game's levels are based on the
streets of Springfield, Krustyland, a graveyard, Moe's Tavern, Springfield
Gorge, a dream world, the Channel 6 studio, and the Power Plant.
Each level ends with a boss whose speed and strength would increase after
taking a set amount of damage. In Stage 4 (Moe's Tavern),there are several
arcade machines, including one of the Simpsons arcade game.
There was also an Aliens arcade game that revealed the Alien to
be Marge wearing a costume. Aliens was made in 1987 by Konami.
Although the game is one of many beat 'em ups produced after Final Fight,
it contained many innovations, including the option for two players to
team up and attack enemies in tandem, with the exact attack differing
slightly depending on which two characters were being used.
Food could be used for healing, and various weapons and items could
be obtained for use for a short time or for a one-time projectile attack.
These items were often brought into the game by other Simpsons characters, and
the Simpsons' own pets could be used as thrown weapons at various points in the game.
