A simple platformer (similar to some Mario games) that illustrates damage abuse well. The player does not go out of the way to pick up items.
Selected quote from author:
Introduction: Tom and Jerry is a kid’s cartoon where the mouse generally triumphs, with the cat being ignominiously defeated. The video game is a side scroller, with a lot of up-and-down motion as well. Jerry can take 4 hits before dying – the fifth kills him.
