Cat-Nap

Cat-Nap is a video game in the action genre developed by Syncro, Inc. and published by ZiMAG originally released in 1983. It is currently playable on Atari 8-bit.

In the middle of the night, inside a bedroom of a nondescript building, dwells a frustrated man. He is awake, unable to sleep, and his restlessness grows exponentially with each passing minute. Something is keeping him awake.

It's those damn cats again.

In ZiMAG's Cat Nap, the player controls a person bent on revenge against three noisy alley cats - Puff, Pearl and Brutus. The cats walk back and forth along the top of a fence, meowing constantly and noisily. The player starts with an inventory of six objects to throw through windows in hopes of knocking one of the felines off the fence, effectively silencing them for a brief period. The protagonist never appears, but is represented by a hand that can move left and right between the three windows. After selecting an object, the player places his hand in front of one of the windows and uses the fire button to launch the object at one of the unsuspecting kitties. If the player is able to continuously hit each of the cats within the 5-minute time limit, he wins the game and can finally catch some Z's.

But watch out for Scruffy! This lazy dog, who normally sleeps peacefully in the grass in front of the fence, will wake up in a fury of barking if one of the cats lands on him, adding even more noise to the cacophony of meowing.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
