The Three Stooges have always been my favorite comedy team. So when I heard that they were coming out with a new Three Stooges Game Boy Advance game, I was thrilled! So I bought the game, and believe me, I was so happy that I got this game! This game features many of my favorite things that I see while watching the Stooges. There is the oyster contest, which is seen in the short "Dutiful But Dumb". There is also the boxing match, where Larry breaks his violin while trying to play "Pop Goes The Weasel", and he has run to the radio store to get a radio playing Curly's fighting song before the six rounds of boxing are up. There is also pie fighting, hospital chasing, and many more things to do. I recommend this to people who love the Three Stooges and who also love playing video games. This is the best!

Good game

This is a very fun game. I had this game for the original nes and i still play it sometimes. It is 2 players and has lots of many games you play. The object of the game is to save the orphanage. Some of the games are: soup eating, pie throwing, boxing, doctor, trivia, etc. I might buy this game, but I'm not sure, since it is a direct port, although upgraded in graphics, of the game i already have.

Nyuk,Nyuk, Nyuk, Nyuk!!!

Pie throwing, hair pulling, safe breaking,... and why? to save an orphanage of course!! Overall, I found this game pretty fun, although the mini-games do get a bit repetitive. I'll give the game 4 out 5 stars, because I really think that there should have been an option to switch Curly with Shemp at certain times during the game.The movie clips were good, although a little on the not numerous side. To those who found the game a complete wash out, i say cut them (The Stooges, and Nintendo) a little slack. I'm just glad that they came out with it. Who knows what's next, maybe Laurel and Hardy?! If you want slapsitck comedy, and are willing to stretch your patience a tad, this game is a gem!!!

Nice classic remake.

It may seem a bit simple and short for games of today's standard. However it is not a new game, it's a remake of one of the old Cinemaware games that came out for the Amiga and Apple. Looks like a faithful copy. It is a neat fun little game. So if you like the stooges or want to try something different that's not challenging, give it a try. Not a complex game at all, just a cute one.

Another CinemaWare Re-release

This is another game from the old CinemaWare collection that was originally for the Amiga, Apple IIgs, PC, etc. I originally played the PC and Apple versions.

This GBA cartridge is an exact port of that old game. You play the part of Moe, Larry, and Curly as they try to raise money to save an orphange. Money is earned by playing a series of mini-games.

For the most part, the game play is as easy as the older versions except for the oyster eating contest. That part is much easier with a mouse than a control pad, but I still played it decently on my GBA.

I love seeing these older games re-released for new systems. The cartridge should hold up much better than my diskettes. Plus, you don't have to worry about system requirements. I don't know what the market for these retro games is like, but I'd like to see more old computer games released like this one. Most of my old favorites would need a keyboard so a GBA version would be unlikely (like the old Sierra Space Quest, King's Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry series), but it might be possible for a console.

Very disapointing and not fun.

I bought this a year or so ago at Costco because I love the Three Stooges (and I'm female!) and I love cartoons (John K creator of Ren & Stimpy is a huge fan of the Stooges as well) and I needed some more games for my fairly new GBA. It isn't fun. You have to play several different mini games a bunch of times, and they are very difficult and not even fun, hardly even mildly entertaining. You have to raise $5000 in a month for the orphans, I was lucky if I ever got up to $500 after a frustrating 20 minutes till the game was already over. I'll be trading mine in at Gamestop next week.

I loved the game on the original Nintendo and also like the GBA version. Now I don't have to keep hooking up my original Nintendo player to play the game! Don't miss out on this one!

A must for Stoogies only

I'm a Knucklehead/Stoogie, so I bought the game. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else though. It gets boring REAL Fast, and the mini games that you have to play are pretty easy. Of course, this is a re-issue of an old game. If you liked the old game, you're sure to like this. But if you're not after nostalgia for that old game, or a die hard knucklehead, you should SOITENLY skip it.

The Stooges is good old fashioned fun. I think I'll recommend it to my friend Lars.
