Synopsis
by Joshua Hoffman


Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk...Larry, Curly and Moe are yours to control in The Three Stooges. You've seen the television shows, now you can be the fourth Stooge! If you've ever wondered what it would be like to utter any of those catch phrases like "you imbeciles" to the Stooges, this game provides you with the chance. The game is like an episode itself. There are some nice black and white stills from the movies and even a voice module that spits out those classic Stooge phrases (taken from the actual movies!) from time to time. But there is a purpose to game, in spite of the purpose of the movies themselves. Poor Ma is going to loose the orphanage to the bank unless she can come up with the mortgage, so the Stooges must raise the money by taking up odd jobs. Of course, in these odd jobs you throw pies, which unless you work in a circus, isn't something that every day people get to do. Make the mortgage back and the boys get to marry three lovely daughters. Fail and you'll make several orphans truly believe there is no Santa.
