Frisky Tom is a 1981 arcade game by Nichibutsu.^[1] The object of the game is to provide enough water for a shower by crawling along a network of plumbing pipes and picking up/replacing loose pieces. Various types of mice are the game's antagonists, trying to thwart Tom in different ways: knocking pipes loose to disrupt the water flow, jumping down to fall on him, or setting a bomb to blow up the entire plumbing arrangement. A Bandai Electronics VFD handheld version of Frisky Tom was released in 1982.^[2] A version for the Atari 5200 was programmed in 1983, but never published.^[3] Much later, ports of Frisky Tom were published for the Nintendo Game Boy (in 1995) then the PlayStation (in 2002).

Reception[]

Famicom Tsūshin scored the Game Boy version of the game a 19 out of 40.^[4]
