The Simpsons: Escape From Camp Deadly is a platformer game released in 1991 for the Game Boy. Players control Bart Simpson navigating through various levels set in a summer camp turned hostile. The main objective is to help Bart escape from the camp by overcoming obstacles and enemies.

The game features a steady pace typical of early handheld platformers, combining exploration with timed jumps and item collection. Players must avoid or defeat camp counselors and wild animals while gathering keys and other objects necessary to progress. The limited screen size and simple controls create a focused gameplay experience.

A distinctive mechanic in The Simpsons: Escape From Camp Deadly involves using Bart's slingshot to stun enemies temporarily, adding a strategic element to the platforming challenges. The game’s unusual setting, transforming a cheerful summer camp into a dangerous environment, sets it apart from typical platformers of its era.
