Ren & Stimpy: Stimpy's Invention is a Sega Mega Drive/Genesis video game based on the Nickelodeon cartoon for which the game is named. The player(s) have to guide Ren and Stimpy as they retrieve parts to rebuild their newest and latest invention. Most game play is side on view platform type, the game can be played both one or two player through the same stages. In one player the player controls either Ren or Stimpy and the computer controls the other character who will simply follow; however, the player can swap the character they control at almost any time during game play. In two player, players controls one character each, both within the same screen (no split screen).
In one or two player several special moves can be performed by both characters standing close and a player pressing certain buttons simultaneously, the move differs depending on which buttons are pressed and whether the player is controlling Ren or Stimpy. The ability of swapping characters during game play in one player means the player can perform all the special moves not just those available for one character. The moves include: Stimpy throwing Ren to cover long distance such as over a hole. Ren pulling off Stimpy's nose and throwing it to attack enemies (his nose regrows instantly). Ren slapping Stimpy across the face whilst shouting "You stupid idiot!" having no purpose other than amusement.
