What the press said at the time
| MegaTech Issue 30 | June 1994 | 42% |
“What should have been a classic beat'em-up game of cat and mouse failed to come across. If you're looking for real Tom and Jerry, give this a miss and go watch the older cartoons.”
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits below the middle. The Japanese loose cart usually costs noticeably less than the US one, and its cartridge has a different shape. A cardboard-box edition is priced separately from the plastic-case copy; the loose box cart usually costs more, but the complete box copy usually costs less. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
