Description
Tom the cat and Jerry the mouse clash in house levels in this Sega Mega Drive platformer. Published by Sega, released in Japan in 1993. Platformer with Tom the cat chasing Jerry the mouse, varied house levels and classic cartoon humour.
Mega Drive adaptation of the Tom and Jerry cartoon, exclusive to Japan where Sega distributed it in 1993. The gap between a trivial loose value and a high complete one reveals a common cartridge but a Japanese box gone scarce, fragile and rarely kept for a children's licensed title. Fans of cartoon-licensed platformers specifically target the complete Japanese copy.
Is Tom and Jerry still worth playing in 2026?
A licensed platformer, Tom and Jerry has the cat and mouse face off across house levels packed with traps and gags faithful to the cartoons. The colorful direction and the visual humor make its charm, in the tradition of the era's mascot platformers. The gameplay stays classic, the difficulty uneven and the formula unsurprising. A likable pick for fans of retro cartoon platforming and Tom and Jerry nostalgics, especially for a young audience.
