Misifu la Gatita - A New Game About Cats

Among the games released long ago, there are those that evoke warm feelings even after decades. It doesn't really matter which platform these games were released on, what the graphics and sound design were like (or if they existed at all!).

One such game for the Spanish programmer Jordi was "Alley Cat", which was released in 1983, first on Atari, and in 1984 on PC. The idea of this arcade game is quite simple: you control a street cat that can move around the street, jump on trash cans and fences. By jumping off the fence, he can get inside the building, in each room of which a new adventure awaits him: either to empty all the food from the dog's bowls, or to catch all the fish from the aquarium, or to eat the canary in the cage, carelessly left by the owners too close to the window, or something else. Each room has its own task.

The cat's life is complicated by dogs bustling around the street and the house, spiders and brooms. After each adventure, the cat can visit his girlfriend (of course, if he manages to navigate the tangled labyrinth to her attic!).

In this cool demake of a ZX Spectrum game, its author Jordi decided that according to the plot, a cat-girl named Misifu will save her friend Fred, who was stolen and locked in the attic by evil Dogads (it's unclear who they are, but obviously they are bad guys). Add to this the excellently rendered music by Oleg Nikitin (n1k-o) and graphics by Evgeny Rogulin (ER) (you, of course, already know them from previous games - Aliens: Neoplasma, Vradark's Sphere, etc.) and you get a masterpiece that cannot be missed.

The demake (under the name "Misifu la Gatita") is already available on ZX Online, where you can download it right now. We won't hide that the game can be downloaded from other resources, but if you want to receive all fixes and new versions of the game "first-hand" and maintain direct contact with the developers, it's better to get a special ZXO license key (it's free!) on ZX Online.
