Krusty's Super Fun House -- What of it?

Hey all,

So, I played this game quite a bit, say ages 9-14, and of course never came remotely close to beating it. Am I crazy for thinking it was fun? Is it secretly, surprisingly, a pretty good puzzler? I am tempted to return to this one and try and beat it - thoughts?

I played this on Genesis, it was a fun Lemmings clone with a touch of platforming. Don't think I ever beat it, but I enjoyed my time with it!

Never played lemmings myself! Ya, I'm not crazy, I think, this game somehow seems to work and be fairly solid.

I have a song about this game because it was my girlfriend (at the time)'s favorite game.

Oops - I tried and to get the image on the main page..can anyone give me a quick primer on how to do this so it shows up there? Thanks if so!

One of my absolute favorites as a kid. I feel like my brother and i made it pretty far but now I am going to have to check and see how many levels we had never even seen because there is no way we beat it.

u/Status_Buy_9932 1d ago

Keep me posted! I'm not even sure how many levels there are exactly.

I enjoyed it as a rental one weekend. I don’t recall how far I got. I spent a ton of time on Lemmings, so it was right up my alley.

I think I rented Lemmings once, didn't play much, returned and never revisited, but when it gets mention on this forum, it always seems to be spoken of positively. Will have to include on my playlist. Thanks.

Lemmings has its annoyances, but when I was a teenager, I had enough time to overlook the levels that required pixel-perfect maneuvers. It’s at its best when it makes you think for a while, until you arrive at the “ah-ha!” moment.

One of my must haves for genesis. It's fun and challenging

u/Status_Buy_9932 1d ago

Wow. Interesting -- I am definitely going to revisit - I wasn't dreaming that it's quite solid :)

u/dekuthered 1d ago

I remember enjoying the first few levels. I was super stoked that my first name was the unlock all password 😎

u/Status_Buy_9932 1d ago

Haha, it's funny how we remember little things like this sometimes. And with this game! Ya never know.

Don't think I ever played it pretty far Mostly because it was hard for a kid. It was for sure way better than that gameboy game where you played as Bart - the two only Simpsons games I knew for quite a few years.

u/Status_Buy_9932 1d ago

Ya, never played the gameboy ones, maybe something along the lines of 'Virtual Bart' , or 'Bart's Nightmare' (which is, of course, a Snes game, but not sure if it made it to game boy).

But, then Bart's Nightmare on the Snes is.....another story...of bad, like most of the Simpsons games seem to be. I like how this one is thought of favorably, and mirrors my experience when younger.

did not know there was more than one. I went and check and apparently it was Escape from Camp Deadly . That one really was no fun at all.

u/Status_Buy_9932 53m ago

Have heard nothing about that one in like forever. Based on that, I think there is a strong chance it was quite bad. That and your thoughts on the game, haha. Sounds super painful!

u/Gorb87 1d ago

I personally love it. I didn’t beat it as a kid, but you just reminded me it exists. Therefore I must buy it.

Cool! I wonder how much it goes for on ebay these days. Still can't believe my parents shelledo ut $80 for it wayyyback in the day! Did away with the box/manual (sigh), and the cart, I'm pretty sure, was stolen by one of my brother's friends like 15 years ago... (double sigh).

u/Wishbone-Ash 1d ago

I played a lot of this myself as a kid. I'm certain I never got very far, but... you only had limited games and so much time to fill. I am pretty sure I mostly ran around hopping and exploring and just seeing what the mice would get up to, just occasionally clearing levels

I don't think I've booted it up in 20+ years, and I don't know if I'd have the patience for it now, but something tells me it's probably not the worst "lemmings-ish" game for the system
