About the Game

Originally released in 1985 for home microcomputers, this unique game from Artic Computing saw players take on the role of a cat whose twelve kittens have wandered off into a labarinthine town. Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version.

Contains both the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC versions of the game. (The Amstrad CPC version does not have any audio.)

Gameplay

Explore the city searching for your twelve kittens, but watch out! The streets are prowled by fearsome dogs. You can fire fluff balls to defend yourself, and collect food to replenish your energy. As a cat you have, of course, nine lives.


This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this retro classic, including:

  • Saving/loading the game at any point
  • Support for most modern game controllers
  • Full control remapping
  • Image scaling and smoothing options
