In September IMG reported on the classic gaming company Cinemaware bringing back a number of their old titles to the Mac and PC. Defender of the Crown was the first major title announced, as it is being remastered with improved graphics and audio by Amiga developers clickBOOM. Now Cinemaware has released new info on their second major remastering for The Three Stooges. This slapstick title is planned for a release around the same timeframe as Defender of the Crown in Q1 of 2002. Here's a clip from their news page:

Nyuk, Nyuk! Hey Moe!


Cinemaware has kicked off development on a digital remastered edition of the classic Cinemaware game, The Three Stooges. With updated graphics and sound, this timeless franchise will once again capture the hearts of Stooges fans worldwide! It’s like starring in your own Stooges movie!


Join those zany masters of mirth as they quest to save an old lady and her three beautiful daughters from the clutches of an evil banker! With 30 days to collect $5,000 smackers, the Stooges will have to work together to save the orphans through pie throwing, prizefighting, and medical madness, all performed in classic Stooges style.


For the Digitally Remastered series, players can expect the same classic gameplay of the originals, but featuring enhanced graphics and sounds effects that take advantage of today’s technology. Players can also expect never-before-seen screens and material that were cut from the original titles.


Although enhanced, both graphics and sound will remain true to the style of the original productsBoth the PC and Macintosh versions will be available in Q1 2002

Keep checking the Cinemaware Stooges page for more information and screen shots. They have posted some impressive improvement screens in their Defender of the Crown section if you haven't checked them out already. We'll keep you posted as both of these titles head towards completion.
