Arcade. MOUSKATTACK shows some structural changes relative to PAC-MAN. The player is pursued through a maze by four computer-controlled creatures, but the basic scenario contains a number of embellishments. First, merely passing through every point in the maze is not enough; some points, randomly chosen by the computer, must be passed through twice. Second, the player is allowed to fight back against the pursuers in a very different way (setting mousetraps). The strategic and tactical effects of this counterforce capability yield a game that plays rather differently. Finally, there is a very interesting two-player game that allows both cooperative and competitive strategies.

I told the seller to keep it, so the shipping would be lessTawmis wrote:

I first played it when my brother bought it when it came out, but within 3 months he had somehow lost the game (yes...all 6 cds). Well this was before they had a collector's value to me, so he just got rid of the box too.
I had completed the game before he lost it (I was 5 at the time, and it was the first M rated game I ever played). I got some...copies of the 6 cds a year or so ago so I played through it a few more times, but I wanted a full copy and the prices for box and everything were way out of my range.
Luckily QuestCollector only wanted $20 for his copy. So I FINALLY got it.

Re: New Acquisitions Thread (image heavy)
Here, chew on this
By the way folks, check my thread in the "Old games" forum. This seller has a several more of these classics, so you have a great opportunity here. Not all of them though, be careful what you pay. I added the prices which i think are acceptable (i follow these up very closely). The one above had a fair price at $60.
Jasef: did you hurt your bro for losing those CDs? (i would...)

Re: Post your new Sierra treasures here (image heavy)
Got some nice titles today:
The games came from a larger auction actually, but the seller agreed to sell these separately for 50 bucks. Considering "Lode Runner: the legend returns" and "battle bugs" are very hard to find these days (let alone boxed), it's a quite nice deal, especially with Longbow as a third box.
The original auction has many more Sierra games. You may want to have a look. The seller is very open to negotiations.
