The Three Stooges Arcade Game: Never Existed

There was never an arcade game titled "The Three Stooges."

What You Might Be Remembering

• The Three Stooges (1984, Arcade?) — No. The Three Stooges games exist on:
  • NES (1989, Cinemaware) — Minigame collection.
  • Amiga/Atari ST/C64/DOS (1987, Cinemaware) — Strategy/minigames.
  • Game Boy Advance (2002) — Minigames.
  • Mobile (2000s) — Java/BREW.
• Stooge-Themed Redemption Games: Some modern ticket-redemption machines (whack-a-mole, photo ops) feature Stooges licensing — not video arcade games.
• Confusion With: The Three Stooges in Brides Is a Bride (short), Stooge-o-rama (compilation), or generic "comedy" arcade cabinets.

Cinemaware's The Three Stooges (1987/1989)

The most famous game. Not arcade. Platforms: Amiga, Atari ST, C64, DOS, NES, GBA. Gameplay: 30 days to save orphanage → minigames (pie throwing, hospital, cracking eggs, boxing).

If you played a Stooges arcade cabinet, describe it (controls, graphics, year, cabinet art) — it may be an extremely rare prototype or unlicensed bootleg.
