The Simpsons: Night of the Living - Treehouse of Horror

About

This Game Boy Color platformer lets you control each Simpson family member through seven side-scrolling nightmares inspired by the show's Halloween specials. Each level drops you into a spooky scenario tied to a Treehouse of Horror episode. You’ll swing through haunted forests, dodge monsters, and solve basic puzzles to escape. The controls are simple but responsive. The game leans into the show’s slapstick humor with exaggerated animations and cameos from recurring characters. The standout is the variety. While most levels follow a standard platform formula, the settings and enemies change enough to keep things fresh. Homer’s three levels get the most creative, featuring his iconic gluttony and laziness as both obstacles and tools. The Game Boy Color’s limited palette shines in spooky scenes like a haunted house or a demonic TV. It’s a quick but decent challenge for fans of 2000s-era platformers. A cult follow-up to the 1999 Game Boy title with a 7.2/10 on GameRankings.
