Play Ren and Stimpy - Fire Dog Online

Ren and Stimpy: Fire Dogs came out in 1994 for the Super Nintendo, published by THQ. It was part of that wave of licensed games trying to capture the show's weird energy, a time when every cartoon seemed to get a side-scrolling platformer. You could usually count on them for some strange visuals and a lot of frustration.

You control Stimpy, and later Ren, running through a burning city. The main goal is to rescue cats from a towering inferno of an apartment building. You move screen by screen, using a fire hose to put out flames and knock down obstacles. You also collect junk like rubber chickens and bowling balls, which you can throw at enemies. The pacing is frantic, and the difficulty spikes are pretty harsh. It feels like trying to do a serious job while the world is actively falling apart around you.
