I felt strangely compelled to give it another go, but I wish I hadn't! It could have been a very good game if it had been developed better. As it is, the controls, sound and graphics are just awful! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, but other than the controls, sounds, graphics, and completely nonsensical and random movements of the cats, there's a lot to like! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got used to the controls after a while, but at higher levels everything moves so fast that the system can't keep up. It actually slows down. I have a video laying around somewhere. This is in a pretty high level on easy mode (no hawk). The cats are bonkers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I couldn't figure out which key to press to use them until I read the manual. I'll try them next time. I've had lots of experience with this game on the ColecoVision.

jblenkle Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hey, everyone....come on over to the TG-16 HSC and give Volfied a try. It's a fun game and it's lonely over there!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Ok first of all, if no one has mentioned it yet, you can press and hold "clear" and it will mute the music, but not the sounds effects. You're welcome ? Next, I practiced for a bit on EASY mode today (DON'T COUNT THIS SCORE) and thought I'd share. It's certainly much easier without that hawk! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Yeah that mute button is annoying. On emu, it seems to work sometimes. I just end up muting my computer honestly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmadruga Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Ouch, that hurt... I don't want to play this anymore. It's like the prisoner's dilemma. Just let me win and we will all be better off. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmadruga Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Just so you know, close to the end I was accidentally killing cats *through walls* given things were fast and collision detection is just so bad.

I would like to personally thank you for posting another score over 200k, that means I definitely don't need to play again because, even if I could survive, there's no way I could tolerate playing the game that long! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BiffMan Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Whew, came darned close to playing another game of this just now, but came to my senses in time. I think that makes it my favorite game of Mouse Trap yet... The one I didn't play! ? It is fascinating from a psychological standpoint as my innate competitiveness battles my desire to not play. Which side will win? Exciting! Hopefully the next game will drop soon before I give in to temptation... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiffMan Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 Unsurprisingly, competitiveness wins out... ? 149,900 And, hey! Shouldn't I be able to keep playing? It shows I still have one life left... ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
