This video does not include unofficial versions, homebrews and several versions that are mere emulation, such as the one present in the Namco 50 Anniversary compilations and the virtual shops of the most recent systems.
There are official versions that unfortunately could not be included in the video, such as Palm OS, J2ME or iOS. If we get them one day, maybe we'll publish an updated version of this video.
Unfortunately, the only version of Super Cassette Vision available is corrupt and for this reason you can appreciate graphical and sound errors in the footage.
You are surely freaking out about the MZ-700's graphics. Without the PCG chip, this system could only display letters, numbers, and basic geometric shapes. This version, in fact, was originally created just for fun by GAME ROMAN, but due to its playability so faithful to the original game, NAMCO decided to release it.
Which is your favourite version?

Mappy on most ports: a cartoony, role-reversal game of cat-and-mouse.
Mappy on the Sharp MZ-700: an avant-garde, abstract piece of postmodern electronic art.
"...whadda hell was THAT!?"
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
cars
And sharp mz-2500 was the complete opposite
@@auralunaprettycure Good eye. I almost dismissed that version as this video's form of clickbait, until I read those words and realized that they were describing what they were.
Genius-level abstraction right there. 👏👏👏😊
5:04 Mappy the roller skate
Lol that is true
I'm not stupid. I'm a big brain champion. And also. 9+10=19. Because i'm a big brain. If you choose 9+10=21, Then you will not get a big brain champion.
Yep
@@Somedumbasskid2009 approved of tamagotchi pfp 👌 👏
Yeah, it's like if pacman was a square or Mario was a boot
its funny how in the sharp mz700 the objects are just in japanese text: "tv", "safe", ...
That's really clever, actually.
テレビ=tv、キンコ=safe、マイコン=PC、モナリサ=monalisa、カセット=casette
"radio",
@@maryannepuckett3703 "radio" is ラジオ in Japanese, but the letters cannot pack into 2x2 because MZ700 (and most PCs at this era) represents the letter ジ using 2 letters シ+゛（sonant mark
）．So they seem to substitute it as カセット (casette, precisely, radio and casette, often called as ラジカセ in Japanese, but this letters also cannot be 2x2 by the same reason)
@@hoge1e3 Wow, so much info.
The theme tune of this game gets stuck in my head and slowly eats away at me.
I believe you, hahaha. I can't get it out of my head.
Same!
Same here.
I legitimately have to ask myself if I REALLY want to play Bubble Bobble for this exact reason

I Dont Understand How Two Wheels And Two Triangles Are Mindblowing
Because there were technical limitations, so it's rare to see much of anything else than a text-based game or some crappy RPG
Because it takes such a high amount of IQ to understand the complexity of two wheels and two triangles
Yeah I don’t understand them either lmao
CAR
It was supposed to be a mouse
@@mixdecoisas9193 but Mom said that we already had a mouse at home. And by mouse, I mean two wheels with triangles on top.
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.
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.
there were homebrew versions for the atari 2600 and colecovision, but sadly they didn't make an intellevision or 5200 version
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.
Then someone Makes a colecovision port to fill part of the gap

Mappy is roller skate in Sharp MZ-700
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
@Лев Сигал seriously?
@@elluciano5808The funny thing is, if they're referring to the 2nd sentence, is that "has 6 floors" is correct.

Lots of memories playing orginal at mom & pop arcades during the Golden Age of 79-83
Also at the gaming pizza party chains, CHuck E CHeese, and Little Ceasars had a very good copycat during the 80s

There is a homebrew port to the Atari 2600 that is very cool also.

Yes of course. I felt the same way about Donkey Kong.
The sharp MZ-700 version only looks like that because the computer only uses text instead of proper sprite graphics.

One of the most fun and cutest games, highly underated.
Geez, Mappy looks like a Roller Skate in MZ-700.
This is apparently my favorite game.
Mappy is my favorite game as well :)
8:42 I'm dying from the song getting cut out every 2 seconds.
Are you also dying from the Mappy MZ-700 version of the main theme? I know I am XD
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.
@5:03 It's the more underrated spinoff, Mappy Kart.
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)
Mappy has that telekinesis power in every version of the game, not just the original Arcade and Arrangement version :)
@@retrofan4963 maybe mappy hired bravo man
@@LeWolfYT According to Shiftylook's Mappy cartoon, Mappy and Bravoman know each other, and they both team up in one of the last episodes :)

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.
Many many thanks for this video! I'm a big Mappy fan
Tu canal es perfecto. Enhorabuena
My Favorite Is The Super Game Boy
11:24 is one of my favorite versions of Mappy
18:17 is my second favorite
12:22 is my third favorite.
I agree

Increíble tu labor de arqueoinformática!!! Gracias por el video!
Te lo agradezco, no te imaginas lo que me ha costado encontrar algunas versiones...
4:55 What a genius conversion it is!!
The one for the Sord sounds like it could be a night time theme for Mappy
The music for the new Sharp X1 sounds just as good as the original!
My therapist: Sharp MZ-700 Mappy isn't real. It can't hurt you.
Sharp MZ-700 Mappy: 4:55
What is the name of that remix at the start of the video? It’s amazing. Great video by the way.
The Sharp MZ-700 reminds me of the cars I used draw in the preschool
I don’t know why, but when I was a child both the theme of this game and the death sound scared the shit out of me.
THE 6TH ONE IS SO GOOL AND FUTURISTIC I MEAN THE GRAPHICS THEY R AMAZING

Beacause the Game gear version has extra levels and closer to the arcade version
First time I played this was on the Jakks Pacific version.
Mappy Arrangement is the only one that matters.
Good Job!
10:18 MY GOD!! WHY IS THE GAME SO LARGE?!?!?
Less pixels to draw = more cpu cycles
what the heck are you taking about, the PC-8801 is renowned for having an incredibly high resolution for the time, they just used a low resolution graphics mode
😂😂😂
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
How were you able to get such clear footage from the Jakks Pacific plug and play?
Great Video :).
Sharp MZ-700 FTW!!!! XD, you forgot the X68000 and the Atari 2600 Version which is A W E S O M E.
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.
Can I Do A Remake Of This With Your Video
How NAMCO (later Bandai Namco) many ports of Mappy in every Japanese home computers, but MZ-700 version is a text-based game.
5:58 es el mejor capítulo de obrero y parásito que he visto!
Jajajaja muy cierto
By the 6th version, do you mean Sharp MZ-700 (6th from the 1st) or Super Game Boy (6th to last)?
That Epoch Super Cassette theme song rendition is giving me "first grade piano recital" vibes.
9:24 MPYAP
i just realized why the start of the game presents the characters like they're actors in a play
in the penultimate episode of the mappy cartoon, goro declares his theft to be "the ultimate piece of performance art", so i think this is a similar case and the start is showing the "casting" that goro imagines
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
_Good lord_ that non-PCG MZ-700 version! It's basically Mappy but everyone is a pair of miniature pine trees on wheels and the stolen goods are giant words! I love it, in a "Roger the Alien likes Reanimated Kisses" sort of way.
As for that FM-7 version, this comes to mind:
Angry woman: "MAPPY"
Smudge the Cat: "MPYAP"
By the way, there's one version that's sadly missed off here: Mappy Arrangement from Namco Classic Collection Volume 1. Dig Dug Arrangement from NCC Volume 2 was included in the Dig Dug versions video, so...
Did you mean Mappy?
Mappy: wait what is this thing
Goro: a scooter
Mappy: but why is the shape like that?
Blue scooter: hi
Mappy: ok,go to jail
Blue scooter: no cu's im chinese
Mappy: escuse me?!?!?!
Goro: oh dear..
Red scooter: oh sorry im late
Goro:shhhhh-
Mappy: now i know how my wife and child will look like.
Goro: ur lucky that mappy land wasn't relized for the Sharp MZ-700
It's a cute game, but why were the Famicom clips shortened?
The third game i played in my life.
My first game was Contra nes.
And the second Mario bros nes
4:55 WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
OK fine. It's a bit clever mostly because it looks different from the original. But it should've had a different title, like Cop n' Robbers Cars hahahaha...
ugh my childhood is calling me time to go on retrogames
I have Namco Museum DS and used to play Mappy a lot. Looking at the other versions, I wonder why they renamed Nyamco to Goro?
When the game got localized in the U.S, the name is Nyamco,'s name is changed to Goro. I guess because The U.S division of Namco doesn't approve the puns or something. Localization names happens all the time, even back then in games like Mappy. Even Goro's henchmen(kids) the Mewkies changed to Meowkies in U.S localization. Like Princess Peach from the Mario series is changed to Princess Toadstool when Mario games are localized to the U.S back then. Exactly what happen to Dr. Eggman from the Sonic series is changed to Dr. Robototnik in U.S back then.
Nobody:
Fujitsu micro: Mpyap
No, mappy

I like the Jakks pacific 5-in-1 version, that plug and play is great
7:36 is My favorite
4:56 not really bad
es increible hasta donde llega la imaginacion del programador, con la limitacion de los recursos.
Fiel version, pero desde luego nada que ver con el arcade, q sigue siendo la mejor version.
Una pena que un arcade como éste , tan exportable, no tenga versiones en ordenadores de 8 y 16bits, seguramente salieron clones.
saludos y como siempre, excelente curro con las versiones de sharp y nec... q es que , son ports q nunca me han sonado ni q existieran, como el de fujitsu..
The rest of the versions: Let's port Mappy
Sharp mz-700: ¿What's a Mappy guys?
NES; Mappy is a mouse
Sharp: ¿Mouse?
Arcade: Yeah, ¿you have seen mouses before?
Sharp: uh,,, yeah
5:59 Wow,the pcg version is already fixed Mappy!
Mappy on the Sharp MZ-700 feels like a drug trip
I like how this game is a theme in pacman 99.
Hey where can I find the remix used in the intro to this video?
La versión de famicom tiene un patch para dejar el audio como si fuera al de arcade, queda muy identico
Faltó la versión de Namco classic collection Vol 1 junto con la arrange (con 2 jugadores)
Where can I find the patch?
Where can I find the patch?
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
