mbd30 Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Fun little game. The game becomes increasingly more of a maze. I reached level 4. It would definitely help to map out the later levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asponge Posted July 6, 2019 Author Share Posted July 6, 2019 41,090 I started this one up years ago and dismissed it, but now that I've taken the time to learn how to play this it's pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asponge Posted July 7, 2019 Author Share Posted July 7, 2019 125,952 I finished the game today. It loops to the beginning and the number of enemies increases. The big points are in the last stage where you can collect various treasures. There's also a 50,000 point bonus at the end. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 192,622 The second loop is a pain in the butt as there are no special items to help and those yellow mice are everywhere. I managed to get to Stage 4 the second time, but died on my way to the Stage 5 door. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted July 14, 2019 Share Posted July 14, 2019 33,290 That was fun! This was pretty much the only game I played at the crappy little arcade in the small town where I lived, Summer of '87. Never got to play it on NES since for some reason they chose not to release it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know this was also an arcade game. I wonder why the NES port wasn't released here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
