Mousetrap

[thordog]

This game was obviously inspired by Pac-man. The arcade version was made by Exidy. This version was made by Coleco. Instead of pac-man, you control a mouse. Instead of dots, you eat pieces of cheese. Instead of four power pellets, there are four dog bones. Instead of dodging and eating ghosts, you dodge and eat cats.<BR>Pressing 5 on your Colecovision controller makes you eat a dog bone and temporarily changes you into a dog and lets you eat the cats. I'm not certain how many dog bones you can carry at a time but I'd say it's at least a hundred.<BR>You open and close doors in this maze game. It even has prizes to eat like Pac-man.<BR>There is also a hawk on this game and you'd better watch out. If you collide with the hawk as a dog or mouse, you die. But don't worry. If you choose the easiest skill level on Colecovision's Mouse trap, there is no hawk.<BR>This is one of the easiest games for the Colecovision. I've played it for two hours straight. I could've played it for hours longer, but I quit because I got bored.<BR>I'm almost positive that Pac-man was never made for the Colecovision, but Colecovision and Pac-man fans shouldn't despair. Buy Mousetrap. You can find Mousetrap and other Colecovision games at EColeco or Ebay.<BR>
