Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a comedic action-adventure game where players control the Three Stooges through various mini-games to earn money. The goal is to accumulate $5000 within 30 days to save Ma's Orphanage from foreclosure. Players will engage in activities like cracker eating, hospital racing, and obstacle course navigation to achieve this financial target.
Story
SAVE the ORPHANAGE!
The banker I. Fleecem has threatened to tear down Ma's Orphanage unless the mortgage is paid. He wants $5000 in 30 days.
The Three Stooges volunteer to rescue Ma. "We'll get the dough!" vows Curly. "We'll get a job, you knucklehead!" says Moe. And so the trio head into Stoogeville.
the CRACKER EATING CONTEST
Curly must compete with several greedy oysters for crackers in his bowl of chowder. He earns $10 for every cracker he scoops, plus $50 for every bowl he completes.
Controls
•
Directional Buttons: Maneuver Curly's spoon
•
Button: Scoop up a cracker
Hint
•
Curly would be smart to snatch the cracker right out of the open oyster shells.
HELP WANTED: DOCTORS
The Three Stooges are in charge at the hospital. They're driving midget race cars through the hospital on their way to assist in the operating room, where they can earn $15 per second if they get there.
The Stooges have to follow an orderly through the crowded hospital corridors while trying to grab medical supplies worth $5 to $15 a piece.

the BOXING MATCH
Curly enters the boxing ring to go six rounds with the Champ. Moe's plan is for Larry to serenade Curly on the violin with "Pop Goes the Weasel" while he's boxing.
Larry breaks the violin. He must rush to and from the radio store, along a sidewalk loaded with obstacles, to bring back a radio playing Curly's fighting song before the six rounds are up.
If he's back by
•
Round 4, Curly wins $700

THE 31ST DAY - ARE THE STOOGES HEROES OR KNUCKLEHEADS?

THE STOOOGEVILLE JOB MARKET
At the beginning of each day Moe looks over a map of Stoogeville to choose a job for the Stooges. Stoogeville is laid out like the squares of a board game.
The next six places on the map appear at the top of the screen each time Moe has to make his decision.
Job Selection
To choose a Job, stop Moe's hand as it runs along the map by pressing the Button. If you don't press the button before the Day timer ends, Moe's hand will automatically select the Mousetrap (See Mousetrap, page 12).
Moe's hand moves progressively faster as the game continues, so it gets tougher to stop the hand on the job you want. You can slow the hand down by playing "Antics" (See "Antics" later in this guide).
Hint
Concentrate on the job square you want and not the motion of Moe's hand.
HELP WANTED: WAITERS
The Stooges have been waiting for a job like this—serving pie to the Upper Crust. When the wealthy ladies and gentlemen complain about the slow service they soon find themselves - well, eating their own words, so to speak. They don't just sit there, though. They can throw a mean pie, too.
The Stooges can still make a buck:
•
Each time they hit a person, they earn $10
•
If the Stooges throw all their pies before getting hit five times, they double their money.
Controls
•
Directional Buttons: Select a stooge. (He will automatically get up when selected.)
•
Button: Throw a pie
Hints
Throw as many pies as possible, as quickly as possible.
ANTICS
It doesn't take long before Larry and Curly do some numskull thing that gets on Moe's nerves, and he has to stop and slap some sense into them. You can control Moe as he slaps, pokes, punches, and kicks Curly and Larry.
The Stooges don't gain any money but the outcome can have an effect on the game. The more blows Moe lands on Larry and Curly, the slower his hand will move when you return to the Stoogeville map - and the easier it will be to choose the jobs the Stooges want.
The fewer blows Moe lands the faster his hand will move along the map - and the harder it will be to choose the jobs the Stooges want.
Controls
•
Directional Buttons Left and Right: Make Moe face that direction
•
Directional Buttons + Button: Execute attacks on the Stooge Moe is currently facing
•
Button: "Fake out" the Stooge Moe is currently facing
TRIVIA
Do you know your Stooges and Cinemaware history? This game gives you the chance to help the fellas earn some money by answering trivia questions about their personal lives and show careers, as well as a few questions about the history of Cinemaware.
Controls
•
Directional Buttons: Highlight an answer.
•
Button: Select currently highlighted answer.
OTHER PLACES ON THE MAP...
Be on the lookout for other jobs around Stoogeville. The Stooges may find themselves serving pizza at a local restaurant or racing their midget racers through a crowded market!
Besides the job opportunities described above, there are other squares on the Stoogeville map. Some of these squares can help our heroes get money, some take away their hard-earned cash, and most mean the loss of a day.
Mousetrap
If Moe's hand stops on the mousetrap, one of his fingers gets snapped and the Stooges can't work that day - which means they also can't earn any money that day. If all four fingers have been snapped, the Stooges can't work at all - and the game is over.
Banker
Try to avoid this square. I. Fleecem the banker is a nasty guy, with two moods: bad and worse. A visit to him might cost 10% of your money or it might mean only a cruel comment. In any case, the Stooges waste a day when they have to see him.
Money
The day Moe chooses this square may be a lucky day, because it means that the Stooges find money someone has lost in the street. Sometimes the money is as much as they could earn by working. Sometimes it's not. No matter what they use up a day.
Chance
There's no telling what this square will bring up - either a visit with I. Fleecem or a cash bonus - but it always means a lost day.
