Kat Trap: Planet of the Cat-Men

Kat Trap: Planet of the Cat-Men is an action-adventure shooter set in the 24th century. After solar explosions force humanity to abandon Earth, the planet is recolonized by the dangerous Kat Men. When humans return, the Kat Men refuse to leave, and the war droid MT-ED is sent to remove them.

MT-ED must explore fourteen environments, survive deadly creatures, and rescue Hercules 1, a maintenance and combat droid who has been kidnapped and taken to the Kat Men's Nerve Center. Different creatures require different weapons, including lasers, water bombs, grenades, and rockets. Weapons can be collected and switched between during the journey.

MT-ED can attack creatures or jump over those that are too slow to shoot. Contact with a creature stuns him and costs a life, while some creatures steal the weapons he is carrying. After Hercules is rescued, a sub-game must be completed to disable the Kat Men's Central Computer and send them away.
