The screen displays a kitchen shelf laden with food and crockery. However, the little vermins nibble away at the food and under your guidance, Caesar must leap from shelf to shelf to catch the naughty rodents.

Scoring system is unusual. You start with 10,000 points and it automatically goes down as time passes. However, score is gained by catching a mouse and dumping it in a larder for later consumption. A huge chunk of your score disappears if Caesar knocks down any crockery or bangs his head against the wall. The game ends if he knocks the red crockery off the shelf or if the score goes down to zero. When Caesar catches nine mice, a new set of greedier, nippier mice come on the scene but they're worth more points!

Not only is this game totally original, the sprite-like graphics and beautiful animation are incredible. The way the kitten moves in front and disappears behind objects is mind-boggling. The background music is terrific too. To top it all, this game is maddeningly addictive and challenging. It should be in everyone's software collection.
