Mappy (ColecoVision) – Classic Namco Platformer Adapted by Team Pixelboy

Mappy is a classic arcade platformer originally developed by Namco and brought to the ColecoVision by Team Pixelboy.

Known for its charming characters and inventive gameplay, Mappy quickly became a fan favorite in arcades during the 1980s and continues to be celebrated as one of Namco’s standout titles from the golden age of video games.

The game stars Mappy, a small but determined police-mouse tasked with stopping Goro, the sly cat kingpin, and his gang of mischievous cat burglars. The villains are looting luxurious mansions, and it falls to Mappy to recover the stolen goods. Since backup is not on the way, Mappy must use clever tactics to collect valuables before the cats can secure them for themselves.

Gameplay is fast-paced and strategic, combining platforming action with puzzle-like maneuvering. Players control Mappy as he bounces on trampolines to reach different floors of the mansion, opens and closes doors to block enemies, and avoids capture while gathering items. Timing and precision are essential, as the cat burglars grow more relentless with each stage. The balance between risk and reward keeps the experience exciting, as players strive to collect every treasure while staying one step ahead of Goro’s gang.

On the ColecoVision, Mappy retains its arcade charm with faithful gameplay mechanics and the same sense of humor and charm that made it a hit in the 1980s. The adaptation by Team Pixelboy expands the ColecoVision library with another iconic Namco title, giving retro gaming fans the chance to experience a true arcade classic on home hardware.

For collectors, enthusiasts, and fans of early platformers, Mappy represents a perfect blend of arcade nostalgia and clever design. It captures the playful spirit of the era and remains a timeless example of inventive game mechanics and engaging character-driven action.
