I just remembered one of the most entertaining games from the NES era which made a lot of my evenings joyful, Puss ‘n Boots. Puss n’ boots? The Puss in Boots that came to be the logo for TOEI Animation? Yes, the same.

This game, fully named “Puss ‘n Boots: Pero’s Great Adventure” was released in 1990 by Electro Brain, a company that tried to make a comeback with “Star Soldier: Vanishing Earth” for the N64. Good games, both of them. In Puss ‘n Boots you controlled Pero, who is he cat from the folktale “Puss In Boots” by Charles Perrault; In Japan the game is basically translated to “Puss ‘n Boots: The Great Adventure of Traveling the World in 80 Days”, and as it suggested, the levels of the game took place in different places of the world, starting with the Wild West, crossing through the Middle East, and finally (and painfully) at the very top of the Statue of Liberty (no kidding, that cat goes up and down while “standing” on Lady Liberty’s longest crown-pick. . .you gotta see it with your own eyes).

There seems to be no videos about the gameplay of this awesome game, but in exchange, I’ll give you some pics from it and the teaser trailer for his movie, directed by the great Hayao Miyazaki. Enjoy!

Well, if you liked it, try to get the game!
