KITTEN KABOODLE: KONAMI COIN-OP ARCADE GAME (1988)

I'd never played this arcade game prior to discovering it on the MAME emulator, and if it's by Konami, there's a good bet it's halfassed decent.  One title caught my attention:

KITTEN KABOODLE

It reminds me a lot of the early 80's arcade game Pengo.  Collect the keys to open the door and advance to the next level, sometimes (and annoyingly MANY times) randomly pushing a block and walking into a casino or store, where you can spend your accumulated cash and diamonds.

Another feature reminds me of another cool game, Taito's Bubble Bobble: in that game, if you took too long finishing the level, Baron Von Blubba, some albino red-eyed fish would appear out of nowhere and stalk until he catches you.  In Kitten Kaboodle, if you take too long, a bass fish materializes at the top of the screen, and like BVB, stalks you like a homing missile until he collides with you.  I shit you not.  It's THAT "out there".

It was hysterical enough for me to like and I'll have to review it soon with commentary.



Now WHO can refuse a game about KITTIES?!?
