This week we are staying in the Arcade because our friends are here!

I never played Mouse Trap in the Arcades... I was never good at maze games.... So I avoided this one.

Good Luck!

[Jonesyy]

Well here's one to kick us off

 

MT 1 aa - 841

 

Yes, I died with 3 bones!!!

 

Hopefully this game grows on me over the week, but my first impressions are not good!

 

[Lauren Tyler]

Mouse Trap: 545 (I died with three bones too, but that's because I ain't played this silly game in years!)

 

Defender: 3,150

Mouse Trap - Game 1AA - 9,999

Holy crap! Whats ur secret?

[OldManG]

Holy crap! Whats ur secret?

I have a pattern that gets me thru most of the board. I have to free-style a little towards the end.

I also try trapping a cat (or two) in the center box. It’s still a tough game even with those strategies.

[Lauren Tyler]

Better score at Mouse Trap: 1,607

[Skippy B. Coyote]

I've always liked Mouse Trap and I think I should be able to roll the score with a bit of practice, but for now this feels like a good start.

 

 

Mouse Trap (Game 1, A/A Difficulty): 2,644

 

 

 

 

Bonus

Defender (Game 9, A/A Difficulty): 16,500

 

[AtariWarlord]

Mouse Trap A/A: 407. I've come to really like the arcade version of this game. This isn't a bad port but the controls are a little awkward thanks to one-buttonitis.

Defender 9A: 9,900. I know I can do better than this but I have more than a week.

Mouse Trap 1AA : ROLLAGE

 

[Deteacher]

After a few warmup games: 3,759!

 

 

I know I can roll this one with a little more patience.

[MadDog1981]

 

I'm going to play this one further because I think I can improve this.

[Deteacher]

5,382!

 

 

I had a great game going, then lost my mojo around the 5k mark

 

Defender: 27,600!

[Redmiller]

Well don't Own Mousetrap, but a friend is going to let me borrow his.

 

But thought I would start off with the Bonus game.

5700 Nice start, but know I can do better.

[AtariWarlord]

Mouse Trap AA 641. 1,258

Defender 9A 13,500.

Edited November 11, 2018 by AtariWarlord

[OldManG]

Defender - Game 9A - 999,900

[karokoenig]

Mouse Trap AA: 1,743.

 

A few unnecessary deaths in this one. I think I can do better. Hope I have some time this week.

[MadDog1981]

Improved my Mouse Trap score.

 

 

[Deteacher]

Mouse Trap: ROLLAGE!

 

 

You can tell because I have 4 mice and 3 bones when the score rolled.

Edited November 11, 2018 by Deteacher

[AtariWarlord]

Mouse Trap AA 1,459.

[retrogoober]

still struggling, something about this game, nothing over 500! Can someone share their pattern? Thanks

[agb]

1485. Will keep trying as I enjoy the game do far.
