So I just recently discovered a tom & jerry game for msx 1. Obviously you're playing jerry trying to avoid tom. But after jumping left and getting an occasional spanish message, nothing happens. I get outside the house at a dog house and that's as far as you can go to the left. Does anybody know what the purpose of this game is. What is the goal of this game, or is it just to hop around and not get caught by tom?

I had never heard of that game before! But I did some digging, and here is a game map: http://www.worldofspectrum.org/pub/sinclair/games-maps/t/Tom...

After seeing a couple of youtube videos (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JsMu9iXeL0 ), I think what you need to do is collect cheese, then go to the mouse hole in the wall, to move on to the next level. I think the Spanish message you get is the one that says "you lost 30 seconds" when Tom touches you

Yes. You must collect the cheese on each stage. After that go to the mouse hole to change stage.
On the mouse hole some items came to you. Avoid everything except pizzas (they give you extra time)
If you put yourself on some items like radios ir other things and push cursor down you throw the item to Jerry

But.... The controls are horrible and being a Spectrum port the time goes speedy than movements so it's impossible to finish the game without cheating.

A very poor spanish port.

If you play the game with Openmsx and find the cheat for the time let me know and i test again the game.
