This is the first PC game from Hi-Tech that star Tom and Jerry, the cat
and mouse from the well-known TV cartoons. The game is based loosely on "Yankee
Doodle Mouse", an Oscar-winning episode. Gameplay involves you controlling Jerry
in a basement chase, avoiding Tom's traps and fighting back, much like the cartoons.
You earn points by laying the smackdown on Tom. You can try to run him over in a
little car, toss eggs at him, fence using knitting needles, drop lightbulbs at him
from a carboard airplane, or toss dynamite at him. Be careful, though, because Tom
can go after you, too. If you spend too long in the wall, Tom will throw a stick of
dynamite in there. If you stand too long on the egg tossing platform, he'll shoot a
plunger from a gun at you. Overall, a funny little fighting game that fans of the
cartoons will probably enjoy. Sound and graphics are also above-average for a 1990
game. |
