Play The Three Stooges on GBA Online

I picked up The Three Stooges for the Game Boy Advance back when it came out in 2002, a time when licensed games were a real mixed bag. Metro3D published it, and it was one of those titles you'd find tucked away in a bargain bin, not necessarily a headline release but a curious one for fans. It fit right in with the platform's library of cartoon and comedy adaptations, aiming to capture the spirit of the source material rather than push technical boundaries.

You control Moe, Larry, or Curly, moving them through side-scrolling levels filled with slapstick hazards. The main goal is to collect money to save an orphanage, which involves navigating past enemies like cops and chefs, dodging projectiles such as pies and rolling pins, and using a slap attack to stun foes. The game uses a lives system and screen-by-screen progression, with a timer adding pressure to each stage. It can feel a bit repetitive and the hit detection is sometimes unforgiving, but the chaotic energy of the source material comes through in the constant action. It feels like you're stumbling through a live-action comedy reel, where every mistake is part of the fun.
