The story for Return of
the Space Mutants begins in 1991 with an NES game called Swamp Thing,
which was developed by Imagineering (the same team that developed the
other Simpsons games on the NES). A decade later, Brazilian Simpsons fan
Macbee decided to use Swamp Thing to create an entirely new game based on
the space mutants from Bart vs. The Space Mutants. The result
is a fun and ingenious game that uses the Swamp Thing programming and completely custom graphics
to create a new experience for gamers and Simpsons fans alike.
ROM
ROMs are console video games that have
been transferred to computer file form and can be played with the use of the
appropriate emulator program. Here I have the NES ROM, and to play
it you'll need an NES emulator. Go to Google
and search for "nintendo emulator" to find the emulator.
Though Return of the Space Mutants is a "hack"
that is only available as an online download, I thought the game was so good it deserves
appropriate packaging. Below you'll find downloads for a CD cover, CD insert, and CD tray card
that can be printed and placed into an empty CD jewel case to create a spot for this game
on the shelf.
