Video Game Reviews of Mouse Trap (Atari 2600)
Customer Review: Wow... the Memories
Summary: 4 Stars
I admit... it was the ColecoVision version of this game that I have. That's right, I still have it. This is an old game from the early 80's out on the Atari 2600 and ColecoVision. It was a terrific game at the time - I had fun playing it, even though I was maybe 3 or 4 years old.
The best way I can describe this game is that it was like Pac-Man. Basically, you're a mouse running around getting little bits of (I think it was cheese), and once you cleared the board of the cheese, while avoiding the mean cats, of course, you made it to another level where the cats were just a bit faster until finally, they were so fast you couldn't win the game, as most of these games tended to be. But you did have a way to fight back - if you got a big block of cheese, you would turn into a dog, and then you could 'eat' the cats, which I thought was absolutely hysterical (remember, I was maybe 3 or 4).
By today's standards, this game is a dinosaur. The graphics were very basic and it's from the era when very few games had actual endings. But when this game came out, it was amazing and I'll always remember it and ColecoVision as the systems that introduced me to video-games... I remember how 'amazing' Super Mario Brothers looked with the NES first came out. lol
