+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) I can't believe no one else is posting any scores. How am I supposed to know what a good score is? Ooh, found this: http://www.retrocademagazine.net/forums/search.php?keywords=mouse&terms=all&author=&fid%5B%5D=53&sc=1&sf=all&sr=posts&sk=t&sd=d&st=0&ch=300&t=0&submit=Search Apparently 811,000 is a good score. Of course, Scalpel broke the million mark! Edited November 13, 2013 by JasonlikesINTV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 That's why I always have two of everything Actually, Mousetrap is one of the few games I only own a single CIB copy of. I have a backup cart though, which is what I have been playing on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I think I have a six pack of sealed Mousetraps. just sayin. Add to pile? Intriguing. I have recently developed a love/hate relationship with Mouse Trap. A virgin sealed copy would definitely help me solidify the "love" portion of that scenario. Hmmm...I wonder how far would a Prototype Mouse Trap box go in trade? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeM_Intellivision Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Hi Rev, I'm waiting for my cart and need to test my system - I might give it a go but don't think anyone has too much to worry about - haven't played the game in 3 decades:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+intvsteve Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I spent a few minutes a couple days ago. I did poorly. Well, let me rephrase that. I got sick of it and quit. Maybe the fact that the console is attached to an outlet that's switchable... and the switch went from "ON" to "OFF" had something to do with it.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 The controls are really glitchy. If you try to use a diagonal on the disc it doesn't default to the nearest up/down/left/right direction. It just freezes, so you have to be right on with the disc. Also, especially at higher speeds and with more cats, it really lags :-( Kinda frustrating, but I power through. It helps to completely turn off all emotion and just play like a robot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fushek Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I'm not sure that I've EVER played Mouse Trap (not a huge fan of any of the Coleco releases). Maybe I'll at least break it out this weekend and give it a whirl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltron Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Still having issues the cart started playing again but it has lots of snow.

pimpmaul69 Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 my cart broke.... and emulator wont work, getting cant write start.batfirst thing to do is delete start.bat the emulator creates it, but if it is corrupt then it wont work. If that doesnt work i will have to remember how i had to fix it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, Scalpel broke the million mark! thats an ok score, before my cart died if you look carefully at my score, the first most significant digit is an 8 had it not died, and i had better screen visibility i could have flipped it t over Edited November 14, 2013 by voltron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
