Tom & Jerry (NES) Playthrough

[@85futureshock]

Jerry’s running animation is one of the most impressive things I have seen from the 8 bit era.

[@LITTLE1994]

I agree.

[@2GOOD]

Yes, very smooth

[@jbFromNYC]

You'll see the same running animation in "Spiderman & X-Men: Arcade's Revenge" for SNES

This fantastic platformer is right up there with Capcom and Konami's licensed classics. Bravo, Software Creations 👏

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

Yeah! I played through this one back in the day and I liked it. It's got the Cool Spot factor

@Angel DJ Gaming Software Creations did not make Tom and Jerry on the SNES, it was Riedel Software Productions, and Designer Software made Mickey's Ultimate Challenge. They were gonna make Tom vs. Jerry, though.

[@NintendoComplete]

@@alexkidd8772 I'm gonna go ahead and say that it was probably for the best that they didn't.

[@alexkidd8772]

@@NintendoComplete I meant that Software Creations would make it, not Hi-Tech. Thank merciful god they didn't try to ever make a game.

[@xxHUNGRY4THETRUTHxx]

Music is truly faithful to its source material.

[@BB-te8tc]

I loved this game as a kid and it still holds up. It kinda gets under my skin when people generalize that "Tim and Geoff Follin composed amazing music for trash games" because this isn't trash by any means. It's an above average platformer if you've actually played enough NES platformers to know what the average is.

[@feiwong3634]

I rented this one a lot of times! Man what an amazing childhood for being lucky to own a NES and a Master System.

[@mystman7722]

I enjoyed this one. The difficulty was just right, not frustrating nor a walk in the park. What impressed me was the stage design, I genuinely could FEEL the sheer size of the levels from the perspective of a mouse, the detail that went into making a realistic kitchen, bathroom, attic, etc etc. All the furniture and utility you would expect in a home are there and scaled correctly. And there is fall damage, so giving the player that dread of falling off high places is a nice touch.

[@mariusamber3237]

I quite liked this one back in the day. Not too difficult, not too easy, fairly short as well... and the signature "Tom and Jerry" charm's still there. It's not the best game ever material or anything, but definitely worth a playthrough.

[@szilard9777]

save state?? :D

[@asteroido]

Lord! I remember play this game at the saturday morning years, years and more years a go! The graphics and sound effects r powerful!

[@Invidente7]

A genuinely good fun experience. I was surprised when I saw that NES.

[@royalkumar795]

Best Tom and Jerry game in my childhood 😍

[@alexkidd8772]

I tried playing this game recently and it's awesome. The music is top notch.

[@LPetal86]

It's foolish to think you can never be surprised when it comes to developers and video games. Here we have something outstanding from Hi-Tech Expressions, of all companies. The stars really aligned with this one!

[@LPetal86]

@Klaymodo Post Office I'm sorry, I should have phrased it better. What I meant to say is that most games Hi-Tech published were not very good. I had the misfortune of playing the Genesis _Barbie_ game when I was a young girl.

[@supmattboy]

​@klaymodopostoffice9885yup, always publishers' fault

[@curleed85]

Hi-Tech only published the game, but they did make the wise choice in outsourcing the game to Software Creations, which was based in Manchester, England, UK.

[@curleed85]

@@supmattboy And sometimes it’s the licensor’s fault, too. Both the licensor and the publisher are the ones who would make decisions such as how the game would be played, what should and should not be included and how long the developer had to make the game.

[@LPetal86]

Pssst... Hey, buddy... Please read the previous replies to my post from _over a year ago_ . Software Creations has been outed as the developer and Hi-Tech was the publisher. Thanks. @@curleed85

[@Sweezi]

I played the fuck out of this game when i was a kid, i don't think i've ever completed the first level... like most NES games i played lol

[@PlasticCogLiquid]

Interesting that the spiderweb slows the framerate of the entire game instead of just the player sprite

[@Shorai_3]

I love this game. I especially the 8bit rendition of Scott Bradley’s compositions. I recall making it all the way to the fireplace boss battle.

[@XuryFromCanada]

13:51 Tom is such a megachad, it takes 3 wasp stings for this cat to bother to wake up hahaha

[@HalfEatenMedia]

This is how you make a game on an established brand. It’s nothing great but it treats the characters with respect and keeps the spirit of the cartoon. You can see the effort put into the game even in its simplistic nature. The game is charming and enjoyable to play. On the other hand a game like “Back to the Future” on Nes is a flaming pile of excrement and should be buried alongside the Atari’s E.T in the middle of the desert.

[@j.r.3664]

Right, right, up, left, up, right, down, B, A, Select in the start screen. Still remember it XD

[@mr.g4990]

This game slaps, I've seen and read enough terribile reviews. Having a lot of fun with it. Also, discovering that cool idle animation was cherry on top. Just stand for a little while...

[@MarcBarkyMarta]

Not a big fan of Software Creations, but I remember my cousin getting this and we played it a bit. It was an introduction to what I later found out was the Follin composition style, and the European warbly/arpeggiated chiptune sound. Very different from the NES music coming out of Japan and America.

[@realevostevo]

I really enjoyed this one when I was a kid. Oddly enough I've always found it to be more appealing, even visual wise, than the snes game.

[@NintendoComplete]

Totally agree. The SNES game wasn't nearly as good.

[@MrGamer07100]

At least the music sounds like Tom and Jerry music. I feel like there’s better effort variety in this one then the SNES game.

[@amyrosearchiesonicplaypoem8760]

Unbelieveable video.

[@purpledonatello]

I love this game despite the awful reviews. All it matters is it is playable. Tim follin long orchestrated music is a plus.

[@_space_cat_]

Awful reviews? Seems like people have no idea how to review games. This is like, one of the few quality T&J games during entire 8-16 bit era. Genesis and SNES ones are okay at best despite advanced graphics.

[@purpledonatello]

@@_space_cat_ yeah bad reviews are all over the place. Some of them complain about the difficulty and how the game is uninspired could of put more thought into this. I total call bogus because this was the age developers were testing the market after the game crash. So to them complaining means they don't even play games at all.

[@sonc07]

also Geoff Follin composed this ost not Tim

[@Darkchao_berserko22]

I loved this game my self being a Tom and Jerry fan. I remember it was included in one those famiclone I use to own. Those were good times

[@teddyboukagain9985]

Tuffy?? I thought the baby mouse was named Nibbles. Great looking nes game.

[@HanNguyen-rk6hh]

Both names are true. I guess Tuffy is supposed to be shorter name or maybe his nickname that he eats too much in the thanksgiving cartoon.

[@brendonmckernan3171]

Used to own this game when i was little

[@MrSuperspeedsonic]

I wonder what stopped Tom and Jerry from getting better games in more modern hardware, I assume it was the lack of better developers that could try better with a license that didn't had much to offer. That being said, this is clearly one of their better games and makes a great job showing that with the correct developer, a licensed quality game is achievable. I want to take this opportunity for mention that android gacha Tom and Jerry game, it hilariously is quite popular in Asian countries.

[@Shofixti_]

If i remember correctly i found a way to completly skip the whole level at 14:22. Just wait for a leaf from left side to pass through the gap and jump on it - leaf will push Jerry through the gap, then just follow the right path to the end of stage

[@Franysusjuegos08]

That was a good game, a good video, 10/10

[@misterdoctorprofessorpatrick]

hot take: this is one of the best games on the system (and giving that much praise to a Hi Tech game is actually pretty rare)

[@Akshay_Black]

It was a very hard game on NES but the end levels were easy if you knew the path all my siblings couldn't finish this one and believed i was lying when i told them i finished it. So i had to show them. They mostly died on the world 4 level 2.

[@LITTLE1994]

Dang, I never knew a GOOD Tom & Jerry game exist, especially on NES, a, system known for ridiculously hard games.

[@marvelbliss]

Huh, never had the chance to play this one back in the day (I'm more familiar with the SNES version), but this ain't bad at all. Reminds me a bit of Capcom's Rescue Rangers games, minus the whole picking up and throwing blocks mechanic, heh.

[@Jeansowaty]

I'm surprised to see so many positive comments. Sure the game is well-animated and graphically impressive, I agree, but the soundtrack becomes very repetitive as you play and my God, the difficulty. I don't know what kind of a gamer you gotta be to say this game is easy. The Chip and Dale games are easy to me, but not this one. You're stuck in a maze, enemies keep respawning and you can't have more than 9 lives which are hard to get anyway. The game is nostalgic but I think it was one of the most frustrating games I ever played as a kid. And this comes from someone who can complete Super Contra without dying at least once.

[@andrewbaldwin9194]

Yea Nintendo complete just has skills i think this game is awesome but to say it wasn’t frustratingly difficult is a bold face lie I beat 78 NES games in 3 years recently and this one in my top 10
