The Itchy & Scratchy Game (Euro)
The Itchy & Scratchy Game is a platform video game that was released for Mega Drive (Genesis), the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), and Sega Game Gear. It stars the mouse and cat Itchy and Scratchy from the American animated television series The Simpsons, and features the classic gory violence from the show. The main character is Itchy, who has to fight Scratchy. Reception of the game has been generally negative.
The Itchy & Scratchy Game is a side-scrolling platformer based on The Itchy & Scratchy Show, a show within a show in the animated television series The Simpsons. There are seven levels in the game. The player controls Itchy, a mouse whose goal is to torture and kill the cat Scratchy. The game is played by running around the level and attacking Scratchy and various other enemies. Both Itchy and Scratchy carry mallets as their standard weapons, although various other weapons — coordinating with the theme of the level — can also be used. Every few moments, Scratchy will come onto the screen and then run away after attacking Itchy or Itchy has inflicted damage on Scratchy. Once Scratchy's health has been depleted, a boss battle will ensue.

Development
The game was developed by Bits Studios and published by Acclaim. It was released for Mega Drive (also known as Genesis) in 1993, and for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and Sega Game Gear in 1995. The game was rated "Everyone" (suitable for children aged six and older) by the Entertainment Software Rating Board, "despite a plethora of chainsaws, axes, and flamethrowers," as a reviewer for Entertainment Weekly wrote.
Reception
Reviews of The Itchy & Scratchy Game have been generally negative, with much criticism being directed at the gameplay. Game Players gave the SNES version a 35/100 rating in March 1995, commenting that the "gameplay suffers from extensive repetition and poor control and, despite the large number of weapons included in the game, there are too few opportunities to pick them up." In July 1995, the SNES version received a 2/5 rating from the GamePro magazine, which wrote that "the control is the worst part. In a game of jumping and hitting, the lack of jumping attacks and the inaccurate weapons make you itch for a different game."
A GamePro review of the Game Gear version, also from 1995, stated that "while the comedic potential is high, the characters' stiff attacks and the seen-it before levels defuse the excitement. This game just doesn't capture Itchy & Scratch's spunky cartoon nature." Similarly, the Game Players review noted that "for true Simpsons fans, the Itchy and Scratchy level in Bart's Nightmare [from 1992] is still the best place to look for this duo."Entertainment Weekly gave the SNES game a grade of "C" in May 1995, and commented that "there's a reason Itchy & Scratchy cartoons rarely occupy more than 30 seconds of any Simpsons episode: stretch the concept to the full half hour, and the ratings would plummet. It's the same for videogames. While Itchy and Scratchy appeared in a hilarious cameo on the Super NES cartridge Bart's Nightmare, here they duke it out in an interminable, multistage whackfest." The gaming website UGO Networks was more positive, writing that the game "had great animation and was actually (gasp!) pretty funny."
