A 1991 action-platform game about rescuing escaped zoo monkeys

The briefing

About this game

In Catch 'Em, Jeff the Zookeeper must recover hordes of monkeys that have escaped from the zoo. He lures them with a finite supply of bananas, stuns them with a baseball bat, and places them in a limited number of boxes for safe return.

Levels feature platforms, ladders, and ledges, all completed against a time limit. Falls can stun Jeff, giving monkeys an opportunity to escape, while dropped banana skins can make movement more difficult.

Catch 'Em was developed by Prestige Softwareentwicklung GmbH and published by Global Software. It was released in 1991 for Amiga and DOS.
