Ever since the computer appeared on the market it has been used for many purposes, including business, research, but also entertainment. In fact, if there is to make a thorough analysis , there are more users using it for games than for their job or other purposes. However, the games part is always fun, because you have lots of possibilities and the games are more and more imaginative as the time passes by and so is the graphics.

I admit that when I bought my first computer quite a while ago I spent 2 days playing Solitaire on it, as I did not have any other games, but I still found it entertaining. And of course, games differ as difficulty and age it addresses, so easy games with animals are preferred by children, but they still require some skills, too. One such example is "Mouse trap", an old mouse with cat computer game that is a kind of "Pacman " game, very similar to it, where you have to move a mouse's head on the board and run away from three hungry cats.

While running the mouse through the maze, it eats cheese lumps and this increases the number of points earned. Sometimes you can come across fish bones that are in fact acting like power pills and can be gathered in a pile and used when you need to turn into a ferocious bull-dog that can eat the cats coming after you. All you have to do is press a button for this to happen. This game is fairly simple, with fine graphics and is pretty easy to play. However, you need a lot of skill to finish the most advanced levels.

The mouse is actually only a mouse's head and it's not even a real mouse's head, but a stylized Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse head, while the cat is drawn with its entire body, including a long tail. The maze is made of green thick walls, that are sometimes flickering as you go past them. In this case you can push them if you hold the shooting button down.

Of course this old mouse with cat computer game has four levels of difficulty, which you can't accomplish very quickly unless you have a lot of skill. Any way, there are some interesting things and features of this game. One of them would be the sound effect - the cat really sounds like a live cat. Then there's the mouse's head that keeps moving its mouth. You may think it eats the chees, but it moves it all the time. Your mouse starts the game with ten lives, which is plenty compared to other games. Well, you do have three cats coming after you, but the offer is still fair. Every time a cat catches your mouse it loses one life. You got the idea.

The second picture is actually showing a game called Cat Trax and i only put it here as I thought there were mice and cats on the board, but the purple and blue heads in fact belong to some dogs that want to catch your cat. Still a maze game, but this time you can use the corners to move quickly to another part of the board. Well, I don't know if they are still played or not, but they kind of reminded me of the first years when I used a computer for playing some games that now seem really stupid and easy.
