Yo! Don't have a cow, man! This is the tale of an underachiever who's proud of it, but if he's the only thing between a mutant alien planetary takeover and survival, then I'm afraid you're just gonna have to get used to Bart Simpson.

In between eating his shorts and careening about the streets on his skateboard, Bart has noticed some very strange things going on recently, most importantly being the appearance of the mysterious purple objects.

Using his spectacular XRay specs, Bart is the only dude who can actually see the slime-ridden space mutants when they arrive, tastefully disguised as normal human beings.

Normal? Heck, this is Springfield, don't you know. What results, is a frenetic action blast set over five blistering levels, as Bart wields his all-powerful spray can against the alien menace.

Basically, if the slimeballs can get their hands on all of the purple objects, then it's world domination for all of us.

You, as Bart, must get out there with your trusty spray can and change the colour of the purple objects before the aliens can locate them.

Well this all sounds spectacularly simple, but it certainly isn't. The aliens don't give in that easily, so grab a hold of your slingshot and try and damage them as much as you can before things get out of hand.

Keep your eyes open at all times for power-ups and, especially, refills for your spray can. Getting caught short at an important moment can be very embarrassing indeed.

You'll have to be quick to locate the purple objects before the aliens do and don't get caught without your specs, otherwise you'll be underachieving in a major way.

In between the action, there are a host of puzzles for you to get to grips with.

Remember, you could trap Bart's IQ in a thimble, so give him all the help you can to solve the conundrums and ensure your progress.

Playing The Simpsons is a bundle of laughs, the scenario is pretty neat and there is plenty to do and see in good old Springfield. The colours are bright and the soundtrack won't bore you to death after the first five seconds.

Remember, you are the only one who can see the aliens walking around, so be prepared for some pretty mean stares from your friends and family. Never fear, however, everything you do is for the salvation of mankind and fellow underachievers.

Anyway, that's what you hope. Is all of this really happening, or has Bart finally gone totally over the edge at last. Methinks his headmaster would have something to say on that matter.

Whatever, take on the Space Mutants, it's far better than eating your shorts.
