The Itchy and Scratchy Game


System: Super NES

Cheats Used: None

Here’s a game that should have worked. The Itchy and Scratchy shorts have always been one of the best parts of The Simpsons (with the one that opens the movie being the best of them), so it seems like a game starring the duo would be a lot of fun. Sadly, this is not the case. The game finds you playing as Itchy and the goal is to kill Scratchy before he kills you. However, there are two problems.

First, your default weapon, the mallet, does very little damage so you have to upgrade to a better weapon, but they only let you have two upgrades and they expire quickly. The second problem is that Scratchy seems to have far more health than you because he takes a lot of hits to kill while you can only take a few, which makes the game extremely unfair. I wasn’t even able to make it past the first level because of this. Spy vs. Spy this ain’t. At least that game made your deaths funny so you didn’t mind so much.
