If your animal is dragging their bottom across the floor, they may need a serious anus cleaning. Animals can't wipe themselves like humans do so you might need to do it for them. wear gloves and really get in their with your finger.

[@gbraadnl]

The remake of the Three Stooges exists mostly because of nostalgic purposes towards this game from the Amiga community. Cinemaware was a big name wit Defender of the Crown, Rocket Ranger, Wings, etc ... and to some degree the Three Stooges. It is not a very good game, but this fun(ny).

That THree Stooges game is not a remake of the NES version. It is a port of the Amiga game. The Three Stooges was originally made for the Commodore Amiga, then ported to other systems, including the NES.

Little Nemo is one of my all-time favorite games. Hard but satisfying to beat. The game really ramps up in the last level when you get the scepter. Also, level eight's music and the theme to the final boss are some of the best on the NES.

Fun facts: the animated film had collaboration from Ray Bradbury, Brad Bird and Hayao Miyazaki. Miyazaki described his experiences making the film as some of the worst he'd ever been through. Brad Bird left soon after learning Bradbury was winging his writing based off the animators setpieces instead of an original story. George Lucas and Chuck Jones were approached to direct and both turned it down, with Lucas complaining about the lack of character growth from Nemo during the film.
