Mappy 1983

About

Mappy came out on March 1, 1983 for Arcade, then for MSX in 1984 and for Sharp X1 on January 1, 1984. The main story takes about 1 hour.

The player guides Mappy the police mouse through the mansion of the cats called Mewkies (Meowky in the U.S. version) to retrieve stolen goods. The player uses a left-right joystick to move Mappy and a single button to operate doors. The mansion has six floors of hallways in which the stolen items are stashed.
