Score:    • A- If the name Rockin' Kats doesn't fill you with
confidence, then you're definitely not alone. This 8-bit action
game already has a lot going against it, including an
unnecessary apostrophe and one egregious spelling error. The
title suggests a game that is trying too hard, the last thing
you want from a bubbly mascot platformer. But don't pass
judgment just yet, because Rockin' Kats turns out to be a real
gem.  You play Willy, an up-and-coming jazz cat making a name
for himself in the Big Apple. But he hits a sour note when his
girlfriend gets kidnapped by a local crime boss. Now it's up to
Willy to fight through a half dozen stages (presented as TV
channels) and save his true love. This means braving New York
City's busy streets, a graveyard, carnival, airport, subway and
more. Each stage is split into multiple areas, making for a
surprisingly long 2D mascot game.  Rock
