Mappy on most ports: a cartoony, role-reversal game of cat-and-mouse. Mappy on the Sharp MZ-700: an avant-garde, abstract piece of postmodern electronic art.

[@maliciousbugman]

"...whadda hell was THAT!?"

[@auralunaprettycure]

I love how they didn’t have enough resolution for some objects so instead made the Japanese words for them as the sprites. That’s genius. XD I’m not being sarcastic, that’s the type of avant- garde creativity I see in modern indie games

[@AngryCalvin]

This would have been a very difficult game to port in the early 80's. The two sided screen and advanced mechanics were mind blowing at the time. I loved playing this game and it was frustrating it didn't get ports on Atari 2600/5200, Intellivision, Collecovision, or better yet any of the Home Computer consoles. Nintendo had a port I believe was only in Japan. Mappy-Land came out and it just wasn't the same at all.

[@solong.everyone]

there were homebrew versions for the atari 2600 and colecovision, but sadly they didn't make an intellevision or 5200 version

[@casedistorted]

Nintendo had a port you believe was only in Japan? I remember playing Mappy on the Nintendo here in America/living in Chicago in the late 80's and early 90's as a kid? Edit: Nope, nvm that was Mappy-Land. Very similar but more of a console port with actual levels.

Across the versions, it can be inconsistent how many floors each mansion has. The original Arcade version (and any collections like NAMCO Musem for the PS1, and NAMCO Museum DS) has 6 floors per mansion, while other versions like the NES, and Game Boy’s have 5, and there are some that have 4

It's simple. Mappy the police mouse recovers valuable items that are stolen by the cat mafia Goro and his henchmen(His children by the way) the Meowkies. Goro and the Meowkies chase Mappy and Mappy defends himself by hitting these cats with doors, bells(That stun them) and Microwave doors to temporarily throw them away. It's slapstick cartoon Mouse and Cat scenario you quite expect from classic cartoons like Looney Tunes and Tom and Jerry. Mappy jumps on trampolines to get to any platform to collect the stolen loot.

I was honestly expecting the surprise 6th specimen to be the Atari 2600 homebrew, which really IS a mind blower, since it's the greatest technical achievement ever to be developed for that platform. It's extremely difficult to parse that a game of such complexity is running on hardware developed in 1976, seven years before the arcade game even came out.

[@EliosMoonElios]

MAPPY 2600 homebrew is cheating as it use more resources than the real console have like more ram or storage. You can take a GameCube emulator called Dolphin and use the textures dump option to edit textures to be 4k and insert them in the emulator to play with textures a real GameCube can't handle.

[@Asterra2]

@@EliosMoonElios Not the same thing of course. You can't plunk that GC hack into a real GC and have it work. Furthermore, the NES / SNES were capable of the same tricks, permitting cart-based hardware to provide extra functionality. That's the keyword: The consoles were *built* to allow for extra capabilities *through the cartridge port,* should they be developed down the line. It's nothing short of jaw-dropping that a console developed in 1976 and launched in 1977, when the home gaming landscape was almost 100% Pong clones, actually had the means to support anything comparable.

Mappy is an arcade game by Namco, introduced in 1983 and distributed in the United States by Bally Midway. A side-scrolling platform game featuring a mouse protagonist and cat antagonists, it runs on Namco Super Pac-Man hardware modified to support horizontal scrolling. The name "Mappy" is likely derived from mappo (マッポ), a slightly pejorative Japanese slang term for policeman. The game has been re-released in several Namco arcade compilations. It spawned a handful of sequels and a 2013 animated web series developed by cartoonists Scott Kurtz and Kris Straub.
