Mouse Trap (Atari 2600) (How To Beat Home Video Games 2)

[sharri115]

My dad used to let us play colecovision when we had snow days off from school....it made playing it that much more special (our everyday game system was the commodore 64). My favorite games were mousetrap and smurfs. :)

HAHAHAHAAAA! i had this in 82'

[neil54life]

reaOwwwRRR!

[BethesdaSoftwareUSA]

I had this for the sega genisis...

[manboobbear]

I'm surprised no hip-hop artist has used the music here for a sample. I loved mousetrap, but in retrospect, it was incredibly easy. any old fool could pick it up and excel at it.

How did you change the maze and also delay using the bones with the 2600 joystick controller and a single fire button?

[Bittergamer1886]

I love Mouse Trap,but it is WAAAAY to easy!

[kurisux]

I have never heard "bone" used so much in relation to a VCS game.

...no, not even when discussing Custers Revenge.

Also, hearing the phrase "Go about the business of clearing your cheese dots" is just hilarious. :)

Makes me want the game even more, just so I can tell people thats what I spent my night doing.

The business of clearing cheese dots. Oh yeah!

Man, never before has a game made me want to play Pac-Man so badly.

[SuperJustinChannel]

cool video

PS. These rules also apply to the arcade version.

[hyperplum84]

I way preferred this over Pac-man back in the day :)

Didn't know you could move the walls though, mind you I was only 3 years old at the time lol.

[WobDawg509]

how is this for 2600 when the 2600 has only one button and you need one button to change the maze, and another to change into a dog?

[1981Myname]

When you stand in front of a door and press the button while pushing the joystick in the direction of the door, the door opens and you don't change into a dog. If you press the button without pushing the joystick or being near a door, you turn into the dog. It's not hard at all, Atari was very creative in using that single button :)

[DsJamie]

actually all you have to do is hold down the button lol

[1981Myname]

No, if you have the bone, and hold down only the button than you change into the dog. To open the door you have to point the joystick towards the door. At least on my version, I have the 2600 version which I play on a 7800.

[ecwboy12345]

i would play bootleg pac-man any day rather then play et the game

[starwars6rulz]

Wow, those sound effects at the beginning are only mildly annoying.

[yaywhewclips242]

Ladybug wuz a similar game but kicked MOUSETRAP's ASS!!

[wefdsau]

Pac man copy

[navyman4]

combine this WITH TRANSFORMERS, and you have an awesome saturday morning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Longuncattr]

I love this game. I thought it was hilarious the first time I trapped a cat in the center!

[MahavishnuChris]

nice, The coleco vision port was far superior but

[MattMc2]

this game kinda reminds me of pac man lol

[Zorafan206]

seems like a ripoff of pac man

[VicGeorge2K6]

This version's easier to play than the original arcade version or even the ColecoVision version.

[JoeyButtersFuco]

Man I totally remember this game!!!

[LTDANMAN44]

cheese dots

[HTPmedia]

Pac-Man is way better than this...

[GOTHMIDNIGHTMERMAID]

I had this game! wow!

[thejunkman]

Thanks for posting this.

[LTDANMAN44]

wow the memories!

[Cpricrn1983]

It's a great game!

[Ferco1976]

Only mine has an other music type in it

[Ferco1976]

And this one I hade to

[VonRichter]

These videos are very well-made... too bad new games do not need strategy videos, since all you do is follow directions and watch lame CG cinemas.

[Extralounge]

I tried this game and thought it was fun,then I tried it on colecovision and got totally addicted.

The coleco version is amazing.

[Pikachu132]

Yeah, I got the Colecovision version too. The 2600 version doesn't look completely awful, but it's a really really toned down version of the real Mouse Trap. Only one set of doors, no bonus items, a much smaller maze... eh. People wo've never played any other version would probably find it good, though.

[zsyed12345678]

Priceless! Thanks for posting.

[vegeta57]

I remember playing that game when i was about 8 or 9, i really had fun back then with the Atari games

[Chicken993]

Looks like a fun game.
