About this game

Bad Cat combines action, arcade, platform, and sports elements with a playful premise set against the preparations for the 1984 Olympic Summer Games in Los Angeles.

While dignitaries and celebrities prepare for the expected crowds, the city’s stray cats organize competitive games of their own. The central question is whether Bad Cat will live up to his notorious name.

The game was released in 1986 for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Atari ST/STE, Commodore 64, Commodore Amiga, Commodore C64/128/MAX, and DOS. It was developed by Hans Ippisch & Matthias Schulze and Rainbow Arts, and published by Rainbow Arts and U.S. Gold.
