    Hi,
    I'm in the process of porting the classic 1984 game "Alley Cat" on to a HTML5 format.

    I need some people to play test it, so please give this early beta a shot and tell me what you think.

    Fans of the original game will note some upgraded graphics, but hopefully the gameplay is still there.

    Early Beta -

    Was good fun playing it!

    One lickle bug I noticed is when you're in the room with the Che Guevara poster,
    thats filled with cats and their bowls of milk.

    If you get caught by one of them while sneaking a drink from their bowl,
    you don't respawn.

    Not sure if you're aware of it.

    Thanks, yeah the Che room was one of the last rooms to be added. Unfortunately it seems to be the room people keep finding. :pac:

    Yup, that's the version we started working on. Came out on the Atari (or was it an Amiga... think it was Atari.) in 1983, and then was ported to DOS by IBM in 1984. It came with a lot of computers around the time, so there's a generation of computer users who would be quite familiar with it.
