The Ren & Stimpy Show: Fire Dogs

released on Jun 01, 1994

Stimpy invents the Gametron 5000 Moneymaker which is the first video game machine in the world that rewards the player with money. Ren, who is always on the lookout to get rich, eagerly gets to playing with the video game system on the quest to earn big bucks. In the game, you control Ren & Stimpy through various side scrolling levels which are based on different episodes of the cartoon show. Episodes the levels are based on are Space Madness,Out West, and Robin Hoek. In Space Madness, Space Cadet Stimpy must get a dazed Ren to the sick bay to feed him some chicken soup to cure him of his space madness. You will guide Ren through the Space Diner, the Laboratory, the Button Room and the Zero Gravity Bathroom to get to the sick bay. There are also parts of this level in which you will control the spacecraft that involves side scrolling shoot em up gameplay. Out West pits Three-Fingered Hoek and Stimpy the Kid, in the role of horse thieves. You must guide the buckeroos through the outskirts of town, past the corrals, through the rusty frontier town and to the stables, where you'll find the sheriff's horse to steal. During Robin Hoek, Ren is the finest archer in all of Logwood Forest. Armed with trusty bow and turkey baster, you must make your way through the village and rescue the fair Maid Moron from the clutches of the evil sheriff, who is holding the maiden captive in his castle.

Ren & Stimpy: Fire Dogs is a weird, chaotic experience, much like the show itself. It's a side-scrolling platformer filled with frustrating level design, unfair obstacles, and some seriously clunky controls. There's a flicker of nostalgic fun for fans of the show, but the gameplay itself is rough. If you're brave enough to face its absurd difficulty, expect lots of trial-and-error frustration.

Snorting sounds coming from the manager's office

"Guys! Fuck! We were supposed to make a Ren & Stimpy game and we spent all that Star Fox money already! It's supposed to be out in a month! What are we gonna do?!"

"Don't worry about it! Just make two levels and repeat them like an Atari game, kids are suckers!"

"Brilliant! Lets also make it hard and bullshit! Kids are so fucking stupid!"
