The games mainly consists of click able items which all have a small animation for example turns lights on and off, or cupboards open and close. Also they have added a extras such as sound boards to the flash to keep you entertained. Overall there is a small amount of interactivity to the game but nothing above basic character animation changes. There is no narrative to the game it is more for information and trivia purposes on The Simpson's TV show.

This is a interactive strategy game were you command a small group of soldiers and issue pre-set commands to the squad the object of the game is it make it from mission to mission whilst keeping as many soldiers alive as possible. Interactivity is to a minimum and is a far as the pre- order commands allow and the game is more luck than strategy. But each mission completion offers a code so that you can continue where yo left off if you wish. The narrative of this game is a tactical war story but there is only basic diaologe to support this.
