Tom and Jerry: Frantic Antics!

About

Tom and Jerry trade claws for teamwork in this 1993 platformer. The duo must rescue kidnapped friend Robyn by navigating eight levels spanning suburbs, cities, and mountains. Players control either Tom or Jerry in single-player mode or take turns in two-player co-op. Each stage tasks them with collecting food items while using thrown footballs to defeat enemies. The controls feel tight for a Mega Drive title with responsive jumps and precise movement. The simultaneous two-player mode stands out for its seamless sharing of screen space and objectives. While the stages offer varied settings, the core mechanics stick to straightforward platforming. Released nearly three decades ago, it remains a solid example of early 90s co-op design. The mix of cat and mouse abilities adds minor strategic depth but never complicates the action. A relic of Sega's 16-bit era that still plays cleanly today.
