Gameplay from Mouse Trap playing on a Colecovision retro games console. Retro gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's simply a quick demonstration of the game so that anyone not familiar with these old games can see what it looks like.

Any opinions or comments I make regarding these games should largely be taken with a pinch of salt.
They are usually based on my first impressions after a very brief play.

You're the worst mousetrap player I've ever seen! PRESS THE 1 BUTTON!!!! ARRRRGH!

@malleus30 Seeing as I have no instructions, no overlays, am completely new to the game and indeed to the console itself, it's not surprising that I appear to not know what I am doing. Quite simply, I don't. That is no excuse for you to be rude.

If i remember correctly the arcade version had 4 buttons and 1 joystick, a button for each of the coloured doors, it's actually a great game when you get used to it, when you get to a certain level of skill you can play for hours on end on 1 credit, i played it so much at my local arcade i pulled the top of the joystick off, spent a weekend looking for something to replace it, in the end i found the top of a gearstick from a scrapped car that fitted perfectly. ah the good ol days

Heh... such a cool story. That made me smile.

I don't think I ever saw this game in the arcades myself. Actually, until I got this Colecovision, I'd never heard of it.

I really do need to make a new video for it though, since so many kind people have told me how to open the doors.

Even tho I was born in '88, I had a Coleco vision growing up when i was 6 or 7 and this was my favorite game. And i just wanna say, you suck! If you would've read ClassicTVMan81's comment, you would no how to open the doors.

[SteveBenway]

And I just wanna say you're an idiot!

I recorded this video BEFORE classictvman81 left his comment.

How could I possibly read his comment before playing and recording this. You should seriously try thinking before leaving rude and offensive comments.

I just played this on an emulator. So much fun

I remember the big appeal of this was to see how many new bonus items you could get (cheese, paperclip, etc). At a certain point of frantic, high-speed playing you get to a point where you no longer get any new items.

i remember my parents saying if I learned how to tie my shoes right, they'd get me mousetrap. Ha!

Button #1 controls the red walls, #2 the yellow walls and #3 the blue walls. Button #5 turns you into a dog if you have any bones.

Haha.... Honey, right on. I always locked the cats up.
