Come celebrate overlooked old games with us!
From this point forward, October 13 will be Catrap Day, where we all gather around and celebrate obscure gems that never got their fair shake. Thanks to the joy of digital distribution, we can sometimes get to experience these games, but that isn't always the case.
Catrap, originally released for the Game Boy in 1990, came out on the eShop today in North America. It is already out in Europe and Japan. It's a weird game where you control a cat through different block puzzles. Surprisingly, Catrap is a good game.
In honor of Catrap, let's honor all those great games that went undiscovered by most people until much later on. Let's cheer on Ufouria, Cho Aniki, Chew Man Fu, and nearly every single game on the TurboGrafx-16. Go ahead and mention what games you discovered for the first time in the Talkback thread below. Don't cheat and be like "I played this game called Mario. He jumped. It was rad."
I'll be honest. I still don't know how to pronounce Catrap. I feel like if it should be Cat Trap, there should be two Ts. So, I'll continue to pronounce it Cat-rap, because it's funnier to me.
