About this product

Product Information

Based on the 1981 Exidy coin-op game and the ColecoVision hit, Mouse Trap for the Atari 2600 is a maze game featuring one of the oldest rivalries known to man. You are a mouse, and your enemies are cats. Your job is to maneuver around the maze, eating all of the cheese. When all of the cheese is gone, you move on to the next maze, which is the same in design.<br><br>As you gobble up cheese, cats will chase after you and try to bite you. Luckily, if you have any bones in your stockpile, you can temporarily turn the tables on your enemies by morphing into a dog. In each maze you will find four bones that you can add to your arsenal.<br><br>Situated on the walls of the maze are eight doors. With a push of the button you can open or close all of the doors simultaneously, allowing you to gain access to certain areas of the maze and close off other areas to trap the cats.<br><br>Unlike the ColecoVision and the arcade versions of the game, there are no color-coded doors, no prizes to pick up, no hawks to disrupt your pathways and no IN box to escape into. One thing this game does have that is lacking in the aforementioned versions is an option that allows you to play the game with invisible mazes.

    Wonderful glass Coral Reef from a superb seller whose communication was top-notch, packaging was excellent, with quick arrival. Online description was detailed and accurate. We are thrilled to add this to a blue-green-white one we already have. The contrasting colors of these two Murano glass pieces complement each other well. 5-star seller with super happy customer!

    This Ozark pottery vase is beautiful and looks as pictured and described. The condition is very good. It was packaged well and safely for travel. It took more than a week to arrive/arrived a couple of days after it was predicted but it did ship cross country. I'm glad I bought it!

  • A worthy Pacman clone for the Atari 2600

    This game is a maze-type game similar to Pacman. Instead of the Pac you are a mouse's face and you are running away from cats in lieu of ghosts for bad guys. After gobbling what looks like a pretzel but likely is meant to be a dog bone you can change to a dog face and then dispatch with the cats not unlike Pacman. What I like is that you can change the maze walls at will if you don't have dog powers. That feature is also a key component to another Pacman clone called Lock 'n Chase. What I didn't like is that your dog powers are fickle and would activate when you didn't think they would and of course not be available when you needed the most to get your dog on and escape certain vermin doom by a cat. So if you like Pacman but want a slightly different spin on that game give Mouse Trap a try ...

  • Mouse Trap

    Traditional maze-chase game, with a couple of fun quirks. Animations on the sprites are really good considering the limitations of the time. Controls well and quite enjoyable. As is the case for many 2600 titles, there is limited variety, but worth getting, in my opinion.
