Bart's Nightmare came out for the Super Nintendo in 1992, published by Acclaim Entertainment. It was part of that wave of early SNES games that tried to capture the show's anarchic spirit, putting you directly into Bart Simpson's subconscious.

You control a tiny, flying Bart sprite through a series of surreal dream levels. Your main goal is to collect the missing pages of his school report, which are scattered inside different nightmares. The gameplay shifts between screen by screen exploration in an overworld and self contained stages with unique mechanics; one level has you dodging giant enemies as a microscopic Bart in a bloodstream, while another is a side scrolling shooter based on the Itchy & Scratchy cartoon. The game is known for its high difficulty and unpredictable pacing, often demanding quick reflexes and memorization. Playing it feels like navigating a chaotic, sometimes frustrating, but always inventive cartoon world.
