snorlaxnut Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Back in 2007 I made a hack of the Atari 2600 version of Mouse Trap called Ghost Trap. The topic is here: http://www.atariage.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=64868 What I did to that version was all that I could do. But after finding a version of Hack-O-Matic that I did not have before, I was able to make.... Ghost Trap for Colecovision In this version.... I changed the blue mouse to a blue ghost. Instead of an angry red dog, you get an angry red ghost. I changed the stuff you eat to yellow dots and red dots (for turning into the red ghost) The first few bonus items have been changed to look like... a piece of cake an apple (or maybe a cherry) a pair of cherries a bottle with a "C" on it (maybe a cola, or catsup) a strawberry The rest of the bonus items may change if I can find them and see what looks good in red. I would like to make the color of the maze blue, but I don't know how to change colors. Anyway here's the rom file for any Colecovision emulator, plus some screenshots. If needed, I will try to post larger screenshots (the ones posted are the only size I could make with the emulator I used.). Enjoy!

Atari Dogs Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 This should be great fun. The 2600 version is very good. My only problem I have is that sometime the ghost uses his power pill when I try to open doors and vice-versa. I will have to read the instructions to Mouse Trap and see how I am supposed to do it.

The instruction is tap the button to use the dog bone. Hold the button to open/close doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mäsäxi Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 (edited) Hello! It´s wonderful looking hack! But one thing keeps coming to my mind though. That angry ghost still quite looks like scared (eatable) ghost. And Pac-Man does scare away just by "normal" ghost (which kills pac-man) ( why pac-man should be scared of something which looks eatable? ) so using "normal" ghost for a "dog-mode" makes more sense, me thinks. But it was just my thought. Edited June 23, 2010 by mäsäxi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
