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.

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 The Three Stooges was originally made for the Commodore Amiga, then ported to other systems, including the NES.

The game turns surprisingly hard at level 3 though, the steep difficulty curb was not fun as a kid, but yes a lot of fond nostalgic memories hit me with this game, I wish they would have done the stages in order (to the movie)...

An underrated gem, cool to see this, thanks guys

Dunno if it is that "underrated" But i guess it depends on if its "US" or "EU" maybe. This was atleast in my top 15 NES games on the system lol.

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.

That second half was a pure treat. I played (and believe it or not enjoyed) the NES game as a kid.
