Cat and Mouse (type 02 program)

Navigate a vertical playing field in Cat and Mouse, a two-player shooter released by Zaccaria in 1982. Players control either the cat or the mouse using a simple two-way joystick to move up or down, attempting to evade their opponent while maneuvering through a scrolling environment. The game’s display features a resolution of 240 x 256 pixels and utilizes a palette of 1024 colors for its visuals. The objective is straightforward: the mouse must avoid capture by the cat, while the cat pursues relentlessly. Each player has one button to activate an action within the game. Cat and Mouse employs two General Instrument AY8910 sound chips to produce audio cues and background music. Powered by an S2650 processor running at 3.5795 MHz and a M6802 processor operating at 895 kHz, this title offers a unique competitive experience for up to two players.
