    Well, after struggling with the R/F box for a good half an hour before getting decent picture quality, I managed to get the newest addition up and running.

    Mouse Trap. Not much to say here... it's a Pac-Man ripoff. Except you're a mouse, pick up cheese instead of, err, dots, I guess. No ghosts chasing you around this time... think of a mouse's worst enemy. Yep, cats. Oh, and you gotta love this... the powerup can be activated at any time you want, and instead of getting the cats to run away, your mouse turns into a dog, and if you catch a cat, it's expelled from the board briefly.

    Another interesting thing is that using the Colecovision controller, some colored parts of the maze can be moved, which can be useful to trap cats or just take a short cut.

    Not much to say about Mouse Trap, really... a fun Pac-Man clone. Except for that [bleeping] HORRIBLE controller. The joystick is stiff as a board and it's painful playing Mouse Trap or any Colecovision game that requires precision with it. I just plug a Master System controller in port #1, and a Colecovision controller in port #2, since most of the games require input from the Colecovision controller's numeric keypad... which is freaking dumb, I mean what the hell is that supposed to be, a phone or something?

    With a Master System/MegaDrive controller, however, playing Mouse Trap is a BREEZE. Fun, addictive game.
