Play Tom & Jerry on Snes Online

I remember picking up Tom & Jerry on the Super Nintendo back in 1992. It was published by Hi Tech Expressions, one of those many licensed games that tried to capture the spirit of a cartoon on the console. It fit right into that era of bright, simple platformers that were everywhere, though it definitely had its own flavor of mischief.

You control either Tom or Jerry, each with slightly different abilities, and your main goal is to navigate through the house collecting items like cheese or milk while avoiding the other character. The signature mechanics involve setting traps, like placing mousetraps or dropping anvils, and using objects in the environment to stun your opponent. The pacing is frantic, with the AI controlled character constantly chasing you, and the difficulty comes from managing the chaos you create. It feels exactly like causing a mess in your own living room, just with more cartoon physics.
