renin Stimpy fire
dogs okay making a Ren and Stimpy game
that's worthy of the TV show is a tall
order the show was like Looney Tunes on
crack it was like they took the Three
Stooges but just Mo and Larry made Larry
a cat and made Mo a psychopathic
Chihuahua and gave him a voice like
Peter Lor specifically from his rant at
the end of the malse Falcon it was
ingenious the show was so crazy that
when it was on in the 90s I didn't even
know what to make of it do the games
hold up that's a whole other story there
were four of them on the super NS Time
Warp Vats buckaroos and fire dogs these
games actually made a good attempt at
capturing the random humor from the show
and the graphics and animation are
spoton you take Ren for example who on
the show is a flexible character of a
thousand facial expressions and body
shapes they could have taken him in any
direction and gone off in a completely
different tangent but the looks they
gave him are just like the looks you see
on him in the show unfortunately every
one of these games is plagued with flaws
that ruin the experience whether it be a
fence that won't
cooperate or taking a million slaps to
defeat a dog
slapping the dog slapping the

dog the fire Dogs game is Loosely based
on a specific episode of the show here
in the game you take control of Stimpy
and have to collect firefighting
equipment and bring it all back to the
fire engine you know all the ordinary
firefighting equipment like a helmet
boots hose a beaver you know Ren sits it
out and does nothing to help again the
humor is spoton so you have to run
around the place sliding up fire PES yes
sliding up fire poles the firefighters
apparently don't want any of your help
at all if you run into these guys it's
over they pound you one hit and you have
to start all over again you can pick up
fire extinguishers and if one of these
guys is in your way or you get trapped
in a corner you can give them a squirt
to stun them but it doesn't last long at
all it only gives you one brief moment
to get past them come on come on spray
the firefighter with the fire
extinguisher come on come on come
on come on come on come on oh come on
wrong way wrong way a come on the only
practice practical way to get around the
firefighters is to find dalmati paint
which actually files the show in the
episode Ren and Stimpy are looking for
food and shelter so they apply to be
fire dogs they could stay in the fire
department but the fire department only
takes Dalmations so they have to
disguise themselves in Dalmation paint
the fire extinguishers and paint cans
are always in different places every
time you restart the game so you have to
get lucky and if you walk under the
water sprinklers it washes the paint off
the items that you need to collect to
bring back to the fire engine are all in
fixed locations but even if you get good
at it and know where all them are
there's nothing you can do about the
time limit this is the Fatal flaw it
gives you barely enough time even if
you're running all the way it's only the
first stage but it's going to take lots
of trial and error and a lot of luck you
have to do it all in one session too
once the timer runs out everything
starts over you'd think there'd be an
item that gives you some time back but
I've never found any such thing waiting
for the water sprinklers always slows
you down and for some reason I'm having
lots of trouble with the stairs but get
down the stairs down the stairs come on
and when you get back to the fire engine
you have to stand in a specific spot for
each item and select them one at a time
why does everything have to be so
tedious you only get 2 minutes and 14
seconds to do everything then you have
to find Ren and collect kitty litter
while the timer is still ticking down
but thankfully this part is just a bonus
then you go to the next stage where Ren
and Stimpy are using a Life Net to save
people from the burning buildings but
wait it's not people it's just a bunch
of clocks sand wagons books sculpture
bus TVs chickens and Bricks what the
going on up there who's dropping
this where' they get so many anyway
this goes on for 4 minutes 50 seconds
and then the game
ends what I didn't save enough bricks
and clocks I didn't miss that many so
I'm assuming you have to have a 100%
accuracy I don't know the game in
the words of Mr Horse no sir I don't
like
it
