With literally thousands of Atari800 games in existence, Alley Cat sticks out for being unique (a cartoon game about a cat in an alley who enters a house and does cat tasks) and being of such high quality that it's fun to play even today. Plus, the game just had a ton of personality. It's a diamond in the rough, but among the hundreds of games on disks my parents had when I was a kid, this was one of the few I kept returning to.

One of the greatest games ever!

This game was so ahead of its time. Amazing for being released in 1983!

One of the most imaginative games I've ever played. And the sound FX are awesome for the limited hardware.

I remember seeing this game in a catalog thinking it looked pretty cool. WOW, waaaay ahead of its time! And the animation is incredible! Great post.

Wow, what memories of this game! Must be some of the best sound FX from Atari 8-bit :-) That broom and when you get into a fight with the dog! Truely original game

Yes!!! I loved playing this as a teenager!!!!! It was the bomb!

This was a classic! Loved this on my 800XL

Great game. Imaginative and fast-moving but not annoyingly difficult.

I LOVED this game as a kid! There was nothing else out there quite like it, and I like the cat theme a lot. I love how you do all sorts of "cat tasks" in the house. I always knew the Atari800 version, and when I encountered the PC version much later, I was annoyed at how totally inferior the PC version was!

Now just imagine what an update for something like Steam would look like!

Excellent playthrough. I think you hit everything about the game I can remember in minimal time.

MOST CREATIVE VIDEO GAME EVER MADE!!! so innocent, no blood, no mature rating... oh the 80's, i'm getting nostalgic!

Wow! I've never seen this version of the game before! That's awesome!

I remember when I was a kid, I took this game serious. But, watching someone else play is hilarious.

Love Alley! Ci giocavo :)

looks and sounds much better than any other version.

Fishtank full of electric eels, giant-cheese apartment, and the one with sixteen bowls of milk - this is one strange neighborhood. Excellent sound effects.

Wow. last time I saw this game, I was still using a black n white monitor. Or black and orange. Heh... it has colours.

That brought back some memories, so glad you posted this. That sweeping brush chasing you in the house.. great.

The perfect computer game. That 'drinking the dogs milk' level still gives me the shakes!!

This game was awesome. Thanks for posting the video, I've added it to my playlist.

I miss this game, it was really fun!

i used to love this! thanks for posting.

any1 remember the room full of dogs, you had to drink their milk bowl without waking them....priceless lol

Ah, playing the Atari 800 XL games like back in the day. Great Video!

gracias man.... i used to go with my dad to his work just to play this ... magical remembers... saludos desde chile

This game was awesome.. Time to dig out an Atari!

try altirra on the PC, best 8bit atari emu around.

I love the Pokey sound. It's so clear compared to especially old C-64 games that sound dull and often have lots of crancling "errors" etc...

bad asss.... love this game!!! still have it

One of the first minigames collections.

Love Them Mousies!

a proper laugh out loud game. genius for 1983.

lol, this version has a lot better done than the PC one

one of the best games i have ever played relative to the time it game out

I used to be n love with this game!

I never knew this was released on a home console. I used to play this on my amber screened IBM 5150XT, back in the day.

nice sounds effects

Yes I remember this and chucky egg :)

It was very intersting game. I liked to play in this game.

That fishbowl was a freaking Tardis...

thanks loved this game

I still have this and my 800 and 130XE :^). My favourite Atari game though was Rainbow Walker (I'll post a vid soon)also by Bill Williams. Alot of US games never made it over here (UK) so my brother had them imported :)

Haha, loved this game! That broom was so annoying!!! HAHA! :-)))

ESTE ERA UN JUEGASO

Yes, he is :) and he honestly did not think anyone would remember this game

This kind of reminds me of Frogger 2, with all the different levels. It's typical of 8-bit games also that there's no fixed sense of scale; Your cat becomes the size of a fish when you enter the fish tank, for example!

They don't make computer games like they used to. *Nostalgic sigh*

You know, you played two of the levels I'd REALLY avoid if I could. I think I was scared shitless of the spiders and the eels, that if I spotted those stages I'd immediately escape. Notably the spiders bit. We only get ONE spider in the PC version, but hearing it go "CHOMP" when you hit it is enough to give you trauma when you're 8. And don't get me started on getting zapped by the eels.

I remember this game not working on my Atari 800XL without FixXL or The Translator boot disk.

Loved the sound of when the cat gets hit by a telephone :D

awesome game one of the best

I just heard about what happened to him... I'm really sorry. Also, I'm pretty angry that he wasn't treated with the respect he deserved while designing Bart's Nightmare. So typical of Acclaim, those corporate parasites... good riddance to them.

My father made this game :)

Cool, I thought the game was only for PC back in the day.

Never knew this game was available for the Atari.

Pai3000 Say what? We in poland played this game a lot

I bought this on budget by americana.. it was either £2.99 or £1.99 .. I still have the tape. good game though.

@lillytimelord I used to invite the whole street in to play this!

this shit turned me into a player! want ti cry!

Oh man, why couldn't the C64 have such a version? :o

i played this on my atari 400. Whats the diff between the 800 and 800XL?

In 2:00 i had the same moment when i was in the level where i needed to go to the top of the level and kiss the white cat. This was awesome! @0blackjackdavie0 Look in the internet for a emulator to a Atari 800XL. @GamesEmotions How did you record this game from your Atari 800XL?

Did he make the PC version as well?

oh! best frame rate than the pc version :P

Your father is Bill Williams?

Yeah, the PC version kinda pales in comparison, eh?

i nearly hung myself playing this game so fustrating

Fajna gra ale ten co tu gra to jakiś antytalent grający, ja w to grałem 100 razy lepiej na atari...
