Frisky Tom

Frisky Tom is a 1981 arcade game by Nichibutsu. The object of the game is to provide enough water for a shower by crawling along a network of plumbing pipes and picking up/replacing loose pieces. Various types of mice are the game's antagonists, trying to thwart Tom in different ways: knocking pipes loose to disrupt the water flow, jumping down to fall on him, or setting a bomb to blow up the entire plumbing arrangement. A version for the Atari 5200 was programmed in 1983, but was never released.[1] It was, however, released for the Nintendo Game Boy in 1995, and the PlayStation in 2002. Bandai Electronics created a VFD hand held game of Frisky Tom in 1982.

Mouskattack, another game featuring both mice and a pipe-laying theme, was published in 1982 by Sierra On-Line for the Atari 8-bit computers and Apple II.

Reception

On release, Famicom Tsūshin scored the Game Boy version of the game a 19 out of 40.[2]
