About SPACE MOUSE 35th Anniversary edition
Now introducing the Windows version of the highly popular Space Mouse by Japan’s first star game designer, Takanari Suzuki!
2016 marks the 35th anniversary of the introduction of Space Mouse, and to commemorate this occasion, Mindware Co., Ltd is releasing a compilation of five games that includes two ports of the original version, two MZ-700-style arrange version, and an NES-style arrange version!
The NES arranged version includes dramatic enhancements similar to our previous release, Cosmic Cavern 3671 (http://store.steampowered.com/app/496980/), drawing this fun from the past and adding new and interesting improvements.
Product includes:
Arranged Version in the style of the NES
Arranged Version in the style of the MZ-700+PCG
Arranged Version in the style of the MZ-700
Port of the PC-8001+PCG version
Port of the original PC-8001 version
Space Mouse was first published for the PC-8001 in the October 1981 issue of engineering magazine I/O, where it was very highly rated and eventually ported to a wide range of personal computers of that era. This pioneering work is a very early example of vertical scrolling in a videogame.
In this maze game, you must guide Alice to the top of the building before her oxygen supply runs out and without being caught by the vicious Space Mice! Power-ups allow her to punch through brick walls and send those interstellar vermin flying!
This simple, but deep gameplay still keeps players coming back for more, core qualities common to any classic and hasn’t faded even after 35 years. We hope you will enjoy Space Mouse for many years to come!

Hard. Retro. Good. As in 'simple and good' that will challenge you should you decide really get good at the game. That's all. Keeping it simple like games used to be. I was glad to fork down some euros for this one.1 found this helpful
Space Mouse might be one of my favorite arcade games, and this collection is the only reason I even knew it existed. If you have the slightest bit of interest in 80's-era cabinet games then [i]SPACE MOUSE 35th Anniversary edition[/i] is indispensable.1 found this helpful
An addictive score chase with great 8-bit flavor like most of Mindware's games. If I were to complain, it feels like now and then some input will be delayed or dropped, or like I have to hold a direction a microsecond longer than I should.
I really like this game, and prefer it to the sequel. It's like some hybrid of Pacman and Mr Driller.
Awesome! So many modes -- an old game preserved and the new, NES-styled arrange mode with a slew of new features and gameplay changes! So cute, so much done with so little! If you want a simple game and it looks appealing, GET IT!
