Play Ren and Stimpy - Buckaroos Online

Ren and Stimpy: Buckaroos came out for the Super Nintendo in 1993, published by THQ. It was one of those licensed platformers that tried to capture the show's weird energy, sitting alongside other cartoon adaptations of the era. The game doesn't take itself seriously, which fits the source material perfectly.

You control both Ren and Stimpy, switching between them to use their unique abilities. Ren can attack with a plunger or a slingshot, while Stimpy uses his powerful "Happy Happy Joy Joy" spin. The goal is to rescue the beautiful space princess, which involves moving through side-scrolling levels, avoiding hazards, and defeating enemies. The gameplay is split between standard platforming and some oddball stages, like a horseback riding sequence. The difficulty can be unforgiving, with some cheap hits and awkward jumps, but the sheer absurdity of the scenarios keeps you pushing forward. It feels exactly as chaotic and unpredictable as an episode of the show.
