What is scaring is that, when the dog comes, all becomes silent. Everyone fears the dogs.

Same here. All silent, until that fearful dogsound comes... You know something big and bad are chasing you!

Well, I never came close to a game THAT long, and then to think you never crawled thought he holes in the big cheese (alt), or gave presents to get rid of the cats on the lower levels in order to get to the female at the top. Not to mention that making more and more tracks to keep the broom occupied longer as something that also never happens.... Quite an achievement

Man, these pre-soundblaster PC speaker effects are just hilarious! Fond memories of this game, too. Was one of he first I've ever played on the pc of my dad. On a 5 1/4" floppy disk.

I clocked this game. Once you reach 1 000-0000 it runs out of ability to track your score and it goes back to 0. So I quit... man was I late to school that day.

Yeah, like many old games. Here in Brazil, when you finished a game, we used to say "zerar o jogo" ("zeroed the game"). This expression came from this old games, where the score were reset to 0 once you achieve a limit score.

that's a trick not many people know hehe

I played it like crazy in Finland around 1987-89. Called it ”kissapeli” = cat game.

I used to play this game all the time when I was a child. Looking back at it now, I realize how much I relate to the black cat.

That Street Dog that comes at you if you dawdle too long and dont hop on the bins, what a terrifying game villain, Proto-Nemesis, "SssS.T.A.R.S (C.A.T.)..." lol thanks for the upload this brought back alot of fun memories! ^_^

I think there's a key that lets you place the gifts that you pick up in the Meow screen. If an orange cat walks into a gift, he disappears, or something like that. Also: 36:49 - oh, I can feel the rage there!

Yep, it's "Alt" key. You can also go inside the whole of the large cheese to suddenly appear from another whole - same way - "Alt" key. ;)

When your cat is hanging on one of the cheese holes pressing alt will make him/her go into that hole and come out on another - very helpful for ambushing the mice. The holes are paired and after a while you'll remember which hole goes where.

This was one of the first games I ever played. I'm working on a short video segment on it. Let me say this: You play a hell of a lot better than I do.

when the cat jumps into the aquarium suddenly the size gets much bigger

I remember playing this game on my IBM XT with a monochromatic display (black and green only). This was one of the 3 games that I had in that computer. The other two were a racing game and a memory game.

In the early 90 I loved this game and its colors

Playing this game in my youth was what inspired me to have pet canaries in adulthood! They are even cuter in real life than in this game. ...Their little peeps and chirps!

вспоминаю детство и улыбаюсь))) это были лучшие времена, хочу обратно!!!!

The Icy Tower character made of this game's protagonist is spot on, it seems!

Legend! However I notice that you didn't use the alt key at any point - useful in the cheese room and dropping decoy presents for the cats guarding the female cat.

the most secretive part was quitting the game: CTRL + Y....

God I loved that game. Never could bet it nor understand the point or main goal of the game, but shit was it fun! Man that broom was annoying...

You can long-jump straight up (as opposed to diagonally) by getting to the fast running speed, then stop running and immediately jump up. It's a much easier way to get on the trash bins in the higher levels and to get up in the bonus level.

This has to be the craziest DOS game I've ever seen. And I've seen my share.

Dude, you can enter the holes in the cheese to catch the mice!!

OMG.... i stil remember this game.. i played it in my childhood.. thank you so much for sharing this with us😔❤❤

That dog room is scary as fuck

I loved this when it came out. It was so much fun and it was also very loud if you kept the sound on. I remember playing it years later late at night in the lab and having the scientist down the hall come down to find out where the sound was coming from. Last time I tried you could still get it to work in emulation mode on some PCs. The whole thing fit in a single tiny executable including all the sounds and graphics. Amazing.

OMG you're so good!!! i never managed that long:)!!! thanks for uploading - it's great to watch this again;-)

In the room with the sleeping dogs, if you hold the ALT key in front of a dish, the cat will drink the milk in the bowl. That's the goal in that room.

OMG...i remember this game! Wow you're actually good at this game :P

Thank you for posting the video!

Incredible performance - you are my superstar...

I hate games without ending. In this case, level 30 is the highest, but there it´s infinite.

If you don't mind cheating, you can press ctrl+9 to get nine lives. Also in my version of this game the number of lives is stored at the 8065th byte in the executable. If you disable the instructions decreasing its value you won't loose any lives.

7:30 you can use the presents, to get rid of some of the cats in the inbetween levels.

Ohh man...this game was SO DAMN hard! I could hardly finish a room! But it was so much fun!

Retro legacy DOS game, Never being fated

You seem unaware that the "alt" key performs several useful functions in the game. Namely, going through the holes in the cheese and giving the presents to the female cats.

Thnx man! my childhood:))

In the level with the mice in the swiss cheese you can go inside the holes. It makes it much easier to avoid the broom.

I played this for hours in the 80s. I miss it.

Best of the possible arkades☘️

I was very good at this game, addicted to it. Good memories.

The music gave me the feeling of playing a highly strategic game 🧐

and while on cheese room, alt gets you in the cheese

Still a better game than Watch Dogs

I remember! Amazing :)

aaaaaaaah, sounds great!!! too bad i didn't know back then, would have been fun :) thanks for telling:)

when you are on the mouse holes, if you press alt you can teleport to other holes. also you can drop the present to the cats on the cupid level, when trying to get the female at the top. Do you get an extra bonus for delivering the present to the girl? I am not sure on that. on the fish level do the bottom ones first so there are less electrics

I always hated the spider one! I remebered trying to fast for the mother******, but in the end, it was always either THAT thing or the dog; but it was always the first.

90% of all the windows the cat goes in, is always the bird!!

Wow, you are so smart. This game is ery difficult to play, I always hit by the white cats.

31:28 mmm... ok go!

The longest I get was to pass Alley cat difficult level once. Didn't the room with the spider appeared in your longplay?

You can use those extra gufts to remove toms from other levels

This game is really great.

why is it so hard for me to jump over the dog? lol

This is such a cute game... Freddy the Cat for Smash!!!

now youre good!

Wow :) i played this game in 1989 in USSR :)

Ayyy! :D

yep, that's impressive. good old memories..

Can this game ever be finished? I can see that at the end you have finished the female kitty level a couple of times, still you don't move further... Btw, there is an ultra-simple cheat: Ctrl+9 gives you nine lives and you can use it indefinitely.

If you're just going for the longest game, there's a point in the game where you don't have to actively dodge anything. If you finish any of the first level windows, and all the windows change to the ones with the female cat, nobody's throwing anything out of the window. You can just hop on the fence and sit there forever. Of course that wouldn't really be playing the game anymore, but there you go.

48 minutes is nothing compared to how long I had to survive a single game for. Then again; most of the games I have played are much more modern with autosave so I took breaks frequently. Still, though.

Check out that PC speaker riff!

On the screen for meeting the white girl cat, what if you picked up the gifts left at the bottom and 1 by 1 put them on the top row before picking up the last one and touching her?

5:12 - 5:52 you know, that you can slip through the holes of the chees?

OMG I used to play this frigging game for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages. It had the best music of any game I had played.... err, at the time.

8088 game. I still remember. I was pro like u also

on the cheese 🧀 level, you can use Alt to enter a cheese hole.

You got the dog food level so many times. That was my favorite. However, why aren't you using the tab button for the cheese level and why aren't you dropping the presents to neutralize the other cats on the bonus level?

Weird but 8-bit Atari version looks and sounds so much better. Played both, loved both though. One of my favorite games of all time.

Meow!!! :D

You should play the Atari version,

I used to jump out of the window on the stupid cheese level, also.

this game is dope

I wish I could play this fully on my 8088. The game gets REEEALLY slow when swimming in the fishbowl, even though it's a turbo machine running at 8Mhz. :(((
