The photos are of this exact copy — look them over closely for its condition, packaging and details. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.
Item Description
Only Bart Simpson can see them. Space Mutants have quietly taken over the bodies of Springfield's residents, and with a pair of X-Ray Specs Bart can tell who is human and who is an alien in disguise. The invaders are gathering materials to build a machine that will help them conquer the planet, and Bart's plan is gloriously simple: ruin their shopping list one object at a time.
In the opening stage that means anything purple, and the solution is pure Bart: grab a can of spray paint and tag every purple object in sight. Later levels switch the target, with balloons among the ingredients the mutants want, and the hunt moves through Springfield's streets, the Springfield Mall and the Krustyland amusement park across five stages. Jumping on a disguised mutant knocks loose a piece of proof, and gathering enough of it convinces a member of the Simpson family to back Bart up when he reaches the boss, a lineup that includes familiar faces like Nelson and Sideshow Bob.
It is a game with real bite. Jumps demand precision, the mutants are easy to miss without the specs, and every stage asks you to think about objects in the scenery as much as the enemies in your path. That mix of puzzle-hunting and platforming gives it a personality all its own among NES licensed games, and its sense of humor comes straight from the show's early seasons, when Bart was the face of the whole phenomenon and "Eat my shorts" was printed on every T-shirt in America.
Bart vs. the Space Mutants opened the Simpsons' NES trilogy, later followed by Bart vs. the World and Bartman Meets Radioactive Man, and it is the one most players remember first. It is a snapshot of 1991 Bartmania on an 8-bit cartridge: colorful, cheeky, occasionally maddening and impossible to mistake for anything else on the system.

About the game
Bart vs. The Space Mutants is a platform game where the player goes into the role of Bart Simpson (from the TV show The Simpsons) and must stop the Space Mutants from invading Springfield. On each of the five levels, Bart must collect (or get rid of) the ingredients that the Space Mutants are planning to use to build their machine, such as purple objects or balloons. He also has to collect enough "proof" of the aliens existence (brown coins left behind when they are jumped on), so his family members will help him when he meets a boss (characters such as Nelson and Sideshow Bob). This won't be easy since the Space Mutants are "using" human bodies as disguise. In order to discover who are the real Space Mutants, Bart must use his X-ray Specs.
