Mouse Trap is a maze video game developed by Exidy and released in arcades in 1981. It is similar to Pac-Man, with the main character replaced by a mouse, the dots with cheese, the ghosts with cats, and the energizers with bones. After collecting a bone, pressing a button briefly turns the mouse into a dog. Color-coded doors in the maze can be toggled by pressing a button of the corresponding color. A hawk periodically flies across the maze, unrestricted by walls.
Coleco ported Mouse Trap to ColecoVision as a 1982 launch title, then later to the Intellivision and Atari 2600.
