Is Mappy still worth playing in 2026?

A port of Namco's arcade classic, Mappy has you play a police mouse who recovers stolen goods in a mansion, bouncing on trampolines to escape the cats. The vertical movement principle, the trapped doors and the hide and seek tempo make a clever, charming dexterity game. The Game Gear version keeps the original's readability and bouncy pace. For a fan of retro arcade or someone curious about Namco heritage, the title keeps a simple, lively pleasure, still enjoyable in short sessions.
