I love how they didn’t have enough resolution for some objects so instead made the Japanese words for them as the sprites. That’s genius. XD I’m not being sarcastic, that’s the type of avant- garde creativity I see in modern indie games

This would have been a very difficult game to port in the early 80's. The two sided screen and advanced mechanics were mind blowing at the time. I loved playing this game and it was frustrating it didn't get ports on Atari 2600/5200, Intellivision, Collecovision, or better yet any of the Home Computer consoles. Nintendo had a port I believe was only in Japan. Mappy-Land came out and it just wasn't the same at all.
Nintendo had a port you believe was only in Japan? I remember playing Mappy on the Nintendo here in America/living in Chicago in the late 80's and early 90's as a kid? Edit: Nope, nvm that was Mappy-Land. Very similar but more of a console port with actual levels.
Lol i like how in the regular Sharp MZ-700 version they made the text that represent the items say what they're supposed to be. I think i like both the PS1 version cause it kinda has a cool hidden border and the Famicom/NES version,but that's purely because i grew up with that version.

Across the versions, it can be inconsistent how many floors each mansion has. The original Arcade version (and any collections like NAMCO Musem for the PS1, and NAMCO Museum DS) has 6 floors per mansion, while other versions like the NES, and Game Boy’s have 5, and there are some that have 4
Fun fact: In all arcade versions at least (Cause those are the only ones I play) Mappy has telekinesis and can open every door on the floor he is on as long as he is facing it. (Original, Arrangement, remakes that use the Arcade version as the base, etc)
I was honestly expecting the surprise 6th specimen to be the Atari 2600 homebrew, which really IS a mind blower, since it's the greatest technical achievement ever to be developed for that platform. It's extremely difficult to parse that a game of such complexity is running on hardware developed in 1976, seven years before the arcade game even came out.
MAPPY 2600 homebrew is cheating as it use more resources than the real console have like more ram or storage. You can take a GameCube emulator called Dolphin and use the textures dump option to edit textures to be 4k and insert them in the emulator to play with textures a real GameCube can't handle.
@@EliosMoonElios Not the same thing of course. You can't plunk that GC hack into a real GC and have it work. Furthermore, the NES / SNES were capable of the same tricks, permitting cart-based hardware to provide extra functionality. That's the keyword: The consoles were *built* to allow for extra capabilities *through the cartridge port,* should they be developed down the line. It's nothing short of jaw-dropping that a console developed in 1976 and launched in 1977, when the home gaming landscape was almost 100% Pong clones, actually had the means to support anything comparable.
i forgot this game existed for the longest time. i finally got to play it again when me and my dad got another plug n play console (turns out it was the same exact one we used to use but had to give away) and this game was on it. the nostalgic childhood memories of constantly dying at this game hit me like a truck, lol
Mappy is an arcade game by Namco, introduced in 1983 and distributed in the United States by Bally Midway. A side-scrolling platform game featuring a mouse protagonist and cat antagonists, it runs on Namco Super Pac-Man hardware modified to support horizontal scrolling. The name "Mappy" is likely derived from mappo (マッポ), a slightly pejorative Japanese slang term for policeman. The game has been re-released in several Namco arcade compilations. It spawned a handful of sequels and a 2013 animated web series developed by cartoonists Scott Kurtz and Kris Straub.
Haha, don't be fooled by the MZ-700 graphics, it's quite fun. Regarding X68000 and Atari 2600, these are unofficial ports. Yes, we add some unofficial ports sometimes but that is not the norm.

@@leroyvisiongames2294 That's so cool, that was your first game too! I was terrible at Xevious, bit I loved the sound design for it 😅 Mappy was my all-time favorite on that game, but I played a lot of Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga too!
Mappy seems to have been the favorite for most people around my age. My mom advised me against playing it when I was a kid because she wasn’t too good at it either and we both found it too hard. I liked Xevious because I was sucked in by how the scenery kept changing and I wanted to keep playing again and again just to get further. It was also my introduction to “gamer rage” (along with her old Nintendo games) which in hindsight is probably why my mom warned me that Mappy was too hard (and almost kept me from playing Zelda as well when I found her copy, though that could’ve just been because her save file was still on there from when she was a kid).
@@leroyvisiongames2294 I actually find Mappy much easier than Xevious, Xevious is hard as hell. Even Galaga is easier than Xevious. Mappy is actually my favorite game of all time, even to this day.
So, I like the Sharp X1 (new version), Sharp MZ-2500, NEC PC 88, and the Sord M5. So, the ports that were not in this video were Sharp X68000 N Kei, and Sharp X68000 Yopino because neither were official

Nice
This was my all-time favorite game as a kid back when the only console I was allowed to have was that Jakks Pacific plug-and-play toy
Oh god that was my first console too!! My favorite was Xevious, that’s the first game I ever became somewhat addicted to.
@@leroyvisiongames2294 That's so cool, that was your first game too! I was terrible at Xevious, bit I loved the sound design for it 😅 Mappy was my all-time favorite on that game, but I played a lot of Ms. Pac-Man and Galaga too!
Mappy seems to have been the favorite for most people around my age. My mom advised me against playing it when I was a kid because she wasn’t too good at it either and we both found it too hard. I liked Xevious because I was sucked in by how the scenery kept changing and I wanted to keep playing again and again just to get further. It was also my introduction to “gamer rage” (along with her old Nintendo games) which in hindsight is probably why my mom warned me that Mappy was too hard (and almost kept me from playing Zelda as well when I found her copy, though that could’ve just been because her save file was still on there from when she was a kid).
@@leroyvisiongames2294 I actually find Mappy much easier than Xevious, Xevious is hard as hell. Even Galaga is easier than Xevious. Mappy is actually my favorite game of all time, even to this day.
That Epoch Super Cassette theme song rendition is giving me "first grade piano recital" vibes.
So, I like the Sharp X1 (new version), Sharp MZ-2500, NEC PC 88, and the Sord M5. So, the ports that were not in this video were Sharp X68000 N Kei, and Sharp X68000 Yopino because neither were official
Hang on, you forgot Namco Classic Collection Vol. 1!
Did you play all of this?
Yes
Jakks Pacific version omg childhood I remember playing that all the time along with other games. To this day I still love that game and I have it on my Switch
