Mouskattack

About

Mouskattack is a classic arcade-style chaser game where players take control of a mouse navigating maze-like levels to collect cheese while dodging cats. The single-player mode tasks you with avoiding AI-controlled felines, while the multiplayer option turns it into a head-to-head battle where both players compete for cheese and try to run each other into walls. The gameplay is straightforward but requires quick reflexes and careful path planning, with a focus on speed and survival. Developed by Sierra On-Line in 1982, the game is notable for its early implementation of competitive multiplayer in a Pac-Man-inspired formula. While not as technically ambitious as later titles from the studio, its simple mechanics and fast-paced action have earned it a small but nostalgic following. Community ratings are modest, averaging around 3.5 stars on preservation sites, but retro gamers often praise its charm and accessibility. The DOS and Apple II versions remain playable on emulators, offering a quick trip back to early 80s gaming.
