In this explosive, action-packed thriller, veteran cop Mappy (Mappy the Mouse, as himself) has come a long way from the tough city arcade of his childhood.  Mappy escaped to become a cop, but after a long and decorated career as a police officer, he now drowns the demons of his past at the local bar. 

Then Mappy's life changes forever when a ruthless psychotic killer murders his oldest friend in cold blood.  Hired to solve the case by his friend’s widow (Academy Award®-nominee Ms. Pac-Man, as herself) Mappy begins an investigation that will take him into the seedy underbelly of the arcade, where everyone is a potential suspect.  To defeat the killer, the two must work together as Mappy scours the worlds of Paperboy, Gauntlet, Burgertime, and Bubble Bobble, piecing together the clues to solve the case. 

As they close in on the truth, Mappy and Ms. Pac set in motion events pitting them against the murderer in a terrifying confrontation that will leave one of them victorious - and only one of them left alive.

Ah, a man of culture!

wish i could speed up dialogue. 2nd grade reading level speed

Yeah the game engine is still work in progress and I haven't added that feature yet, hope you still enjoyed!

Played it on original hardware, enjoyed my time with this one. Great work on this game.

awesome... yes the game is fully compatible with the original NES, it uses a UNROM-512 mapper on original hardware so the flash carts from NESMaker/INL or Broke Studio will work...

really glad you enjoyed it!  had a lot of fun making it definitely

Great little story, clever premise, I enjoyed my playthrough
