History VideoGame / TheThreeStooges

There were two ''The Three Stooges'' video games based on [[Film/TheThreeStooges the comedy team of the same name]]. The arcade game was made by [[Creator/{{Gottlieb}} Mylstar Electronics]] and there was the home video game by Creator/{{Cinemaware}}. The arcade game was called "The Three Stooges in Brides is Brides" and it's a puzzle game. The home console and PC game were composed of minigames played to earn money in order to save an orphanage and put an end to the nasty banker I. Fleecum. The NES version was published by Creator/{{Activision}}, while budget ports for the UsefulNotes/{{Playstation}} and UsefulNotes/GameBoyAdvance were published by [=Metro3D=] in 2004.

''Can'' '''THREE''' ''Stooges save'' '''ONE''' ''orphanage from'' '''FORE'''''closure?''

''Can'' '''THREE''' ''Stooges save'' '''ONE''' ''orphanage from'' '''FORE'''''closure?''

-->'''Larry:''' Hey, This looks like a kid's game!
-->'''Moe:''' YOU IMBECILE! (Smacks Curly as the Defender of the Crown title shakes)

** Pies: Based on every short that had a pie fight. The Stooges have gotten a job serving pies, and this can only lead to one outcome- a pie fight! The Stooges must hit three upper class twits with as many cream pies as possible while avoiding being hit themselves.

** '''A Visit with I. Fleecum''', where The Stooges get a nasty message from I. Fleecum. Even worse, it could cost the Stooges 10% of their taxes.

** Trivia: Answer multiple-choice questions to win extra dough. Focuses mainly on trivia related to the real-life comedy trio and not their famous short films, so this is where a ''diehard'' Stooges fan's knowledge really pays off.

* {{Minigame}}: It wouldn't be a Cinemaware game without 'em. Four are featured:

''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd'' reviewed the UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem version in Part 2 of his "Wish List" video.

* TimedMission: The Stooges have 30 days to make enough money to save the orphanage.

** $10,000-$15,000 = Ma saves and restores the orphanage.
** $15,000-Beyond = Ma saves and restores the orphanage, and the Stooges marry Ma's three daughters.

** Boxing: Based on "Punch Drunks". The Stooges have signed Curly up to a boxing match and are trying to get him to win by playing "Pop Goes The Weasel", which makes Curly angry, but Larry’s violin breaks and Moe sends him to find something to replace it. Larry must avoid obstacles and retrieve a radio playing the song against a time limit.

** Orderlies: The Stooges must recover dropped medical supplies while dodging patients in a hospital.

** Crackers: Curly must recover as many oyster crackers from his soup as possible before the lurking oyster eats them.

** Boxing: Larry must avoid obstacles against a time limit.

** Pies: The Stooges must hit three upper class twits with as many cream pies as possible while avoiding being hit themselves.

** If you on the SAFE! space, It will fall onto Curley's head, But you do get $500!

* FakeOutOpening: When the game loads, it starts with the ''VideoGame/DefenderOfTheCrown'' title card (another game by Cinemaware). As the Stooges arrive, the title music will stop with the record scratch and a speech balloon reads "HEY, YOU KNUCKLE HEADS! WE'RE IN THE WRONG GAME!"
