The Simpsons: Bart vs. the Space Mutants is a video game developed and published by Acclaim, and the first game ever to carry The Simpsons franchise. It first appeared in 1991, and was subsequently ported to most home platforms of the day, including the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Master System, and Sega Game Gear.

The game was built very early in the show's run. Reviews have been mixed due to high level of difficulty. It also did not have the rights to use The Simpsons' theme. A Japanese Mega Drive version was planned, but cancelled.
