Arcade Game: Mappy (1983 Namco) 

who stills has that pacman controller that allows you to play the old classics? i do

This may very well be my favorite arcade game. Played this back in the 2000's on an old Plug N Play thing. Still a masterpiece to this day.

I can't believe I found this game again...the name of it had completely slipped out of my memory. I used to play it with my friend all the time. Good times :)

Who else agrees that Mappy is super underrated?

Very sad that Ōnogi Nobuyuki, a former namco game music composer, passed away in 2019 at the age of 63. But his music, Mappy, Galaga, Libble Rabble, Pole Position, The Tower of Druaga ... will remain in our memories for a long time.

Whoever composed the music deserves a raise

Used to play this at the laundromat while my mom did the laundry. I swear I still smell fabric softener every time I see this game!

I remember this game was on one of those plug in toys with pole position and pacman good times....goodtimes

These games from the 80s were so good, very challenging, great music. Todays games may be superior in graphics and gameplay etc but theres just something about the 80s that cannot be replicated

People said a game about opening doors sucked when Mario hotel came out, they must not have played this.

I made it to level 41-42 back in 1984-5. No cheat codes. This video brought back good memories.

Man, this game was my childhood before I could afford so called "high-end games", but this game will always be awesome to me.

I spent many after school days either playing or watching others play this at the arcade in NYC's Penn Station in the late 1970s. Love the music!

I've been looking for this game! All I remembered was that there was a mouse character, and the music when you lost a life (5:51). I played this on the Ms. Pac-Man Plug and Play in the mid-2000s. So glad I found this!

Oh, dude, i liked playing this game when i was 5 yrs old; good memories.

I was really good at this game in the mid-80s. For 1 quarter, I would play anywhere from 30-45 minutes. Didn't use cheats. There were pretty good patterns that you could follow. Ahh the good old days!

Today's kids will never under these games..

I’ve been trying to remember what this game is called for years

Someone at Disney Interactive must've LOVED Mappy, because there was a Mappy clone in the Toy Story 2 Activity Center called "Toy Shelf Showdown". Although, they kind of combined the doors and collectables into a single item that dropped vertically instead of attacking horizontally, which could crush enemies like in Dig-Dug, while the projectile attack was Buzz's wrist laser, which would immobilize enemies for a few seconds.

4:25 , the amount of joy this harmony brings is enough to hide the horrors of the world for a moment

This game should have it own franchise

I used to play this in the arcades all the time. 25 years later, that music is still stuck in my head.

Back in 2020, I went through a phase of playing nostalgic old games from my childhood, and I came across the old Ms. Pac-Man Plug N Play with Mappy on it. I played the best first round of Mappy I could, and then saw the high score board. One of my cousins on the opposite coast still had the high score. I got a little emotional and took a picture. 😭

This majestic arcade legend just turned 40 today, equivalent to the cuteness of Trina Nishimura. Happy 40th Anniversary.

Game Over at 22:07. (22:04) Coin Inserted at 1:45. Starting Music at 1:46, 1:51 and 1:55. You got hit at 5:51! Life lost! (6:07, 6:19, 7:30 and 9:09) (21:12) 13:47: HURRY UP! 22:15 and 22:48: High score! (22:51 and 22:52)

Played this in the early 2000’s on an old plug and play with 5 games on it

Many quarters in my day went into this machine.☺️

Welcome to a place where old memories can be remembered.

Arcade Archives: Mappy will soon be available on Nintendo Switch Lite tomorrow.

I hated this game at fist as a kid but it's pretty fun once you get the hang of it. Sadly there are not a lot of Mappy arcade cabs I've seen, the only real one I've ever encountered is in Funspot's Aracade Museum in Laconia.

I remember an arcade machine of Mappy right next to Donkey Kong at the gas station. It was by far the better game. Probably my favorite from this era. Gets way overlooked from a ton of platformers that are not near as good. It really didn't get any console ports except a rare NES port which I could never find.

Holy shit I remember this it was literally my childhood. I could remember that the plug and play had ms pacman pole position and galaga but I just came across this a xevious. Me and my dad used to play through each of the games on sunday night and whoever won 3 put of 5 won

I so vividly remembered playing this game as a kid. Forgot the title.

OMG, one of the oldest games that I preferred the most. What a nostalgia! I miss my childhood. Thank you very much for uploading this masterpiece!

I love this game. It reminded me of my childhood when I was only 8 years old. Me and my brother used to play this game. I'm 19 years old now. I wish I could somehow replay this game again.

I remember playing this as a kid in 2008 on one of those box tv plug in arcades😭

12:37 you don't die when you make a mistake, you get to sit there and think of what you did wrong,

wow how is this person playing this Mappy broke trampolines and didn't die all the cats passed by him without Mappy getting killed it would have been nice to see this played not in cheat mode

The actual nostalgia... My first fav game pur 🥺

Finally I found the name of this game. I was so crazy for this video game 30 years ago. Until this day I still remember the music.

Mappy = Best Arcade game ever! :) In my opinion. This game is really amazing. Every time I played the Namco Museum compilations, I play Mappy the most because its the most fun and addicting out of all the Namco Arcade games. I have more fun with Mappy than Dig Dug, Galaga, Rally-X, and Pacman combined!

I remember playing this on my Plug in tv,Ds,Ps Vita *Namco Museum vol 2* I still play it today! Even though I still love Mappy...He's so undderrated but still an awesome game.

It's hilarious that the majority of the comments are from people who's "nostalgia" from Mappy came from post-2004, on modern gaming plug and play systems. Not saying that's a bad thing, but for a game that came out in 1983, It's funny to see people reminiscing on more recent versions of the game.

I thought my phone was broken in the beginning xD

The soundtrack is too nostalgic 😄😄😄

i’ve thought about this game for YEARS and i finally found this video happy nostalgia 🥰

21:08 OMFG I HATE THAT SO MUCH! happens to me so many times when I play this game as a Kid back in the 2000s!

This is a memory I didn’t even know I had.

i used to play this for the namco museum on playstation 2 and i don't remember ever getting past round 1

i had a game for my old DS with a bunch of namco games and i became addicted to this one

Arcade Archives finally released this on Consoles!

Fun fact: The visual level counter in the bottom right corner stops at level 49

I think I might remember this game in the arcades. I know it was on the NES, which is where I remember playing it the most.

Omg! I can't believe I found this game again! I used to play this all the time with my sister! I loved this game omg, I just totally forgot the name of it. 😌

My god damn childhood right here.💕

I remember going to the bonus level and getting so happy and always get even feather in the game because I loved the bonus levels! 😍

POV: You owned a Namco 5-in-1 plug and play in the mid 2000s

Had a copy of Namco Museum DS and played this a lot as a kid. Real good fun. The music is engraved in my mind. Such a memorable theme Then recently I learned there is a cartoon series where mappy and goro have major homoerotic tension between each other and I love it

I completely forgot about this game... I have so many memories with this game I used to always play it on my ds! Just got reminded of it when watching a video.. gosh my nostalgia.. gotta get this game back ASAP!

7:55 a glitch?

This video brings me memories when I used to play this game so many times as a kid 😭. I love it

Some re-used sounds from Galaga in this one.

Well, now I know where Pac-Man got his "Up Special" in Smash.

First and only time I seen this arcade game was on a ship going to B.C. here in the NW. It was brand new at the time, like 82'ish. Loved the game play and music. Never forgot that game.

Who doesn't love MAPPY? MAPPY RULES!

Watching this with my cat sitting on my back... :3

This game is synonymous to pain.

Dude I completely forgot this game when I was a child, I remember how good this game was, I played it so much

I learned so many things from watching this, like I had no idea you could close doors on the pink guys or push yourself into them to knock them out for a little bit! I could probably beat the game now with this insider knowledge

I got the Plug and Play Pac-Man Arcade Game (Blue with a Little Red Joystick) back in October 2004 I played this Game for the 1st time and Oh My God I loved it it became my Favorite Namco Game ever since (Next To Gallaga, Pole Position, and Xevious) I had 2 of those Plug and Play Arcade Games and they both Broke from the AV Cable being Messed Up and Ruined but seeing this now it Brings back alot of Childhood Memories Man those were good times good times like those were the Days I haven't played this Game in 15 Years since I want to go back and Replay it for the 1st time in 15 Years (Since 2004) because I know that when I play it for the 1st time it's gonna bring back alot of Memories and I'm gonna be Super happy like this Game will Open my Eyes with alot of Happiness PS I know this Game is on Namco Museum: 50th Anniversary for GameCube, PS2, and Xbox I thought about getting the Xbox Version because I played the Original Xbox more than the PS2 since Xbox always has better Graphics so I'm gonna pick this Game up by Real Soon

At 7:53 and 7:56, you ran right through the cats. That’s not normal. How did you get through that without dying?

Never knew this game existed. Love the classics like these. Miss the days at the arcade. Anybody watched a Game Show called ‘Starcade’?

Nappy is way underrated I can't believe they never kept making games

when I was a kid I bought my first computer at a thrift store and it had a bunch of DOS games : ) I really had a good time for a while before I got bored and installed linux to get the most out of the ancient hardware

aren't the trampoline jumps limited? or am I remembering the game wrong?

I swear every time I listen to the background music for this I discover a new emotion. It scares me that it's neither a good or a bad one.

It was kind of ridiculous how much I loved this game. I wasn't that good but I loved it.

Mappy was a hard game when I was a child I loved this game hard to beat!

The way Mappy dies always made me laugh my butt off and idk why

Pac-man: Yo, Mappy, can I borrow this trampoline thing? Mappy: Yeah, sure, go ahead.

I remember playing this when i was little! i can still remember the song! I got really nervous and scared when the music got faster and that green coin would pop in.

I want this game back!! :(

i had one of those namco classic compilations for the ps2 as a kid...god these sounds are burned into my brain

I loved this game so much that I nick named my 12 years younger sister after it. I love her so much

This was my favorite game when i was a kid

I played mappy on the ms pacman controller,Nintendo ds,ps vita, arcade machine,xbox 360,computer,ps3, and 3ds.

Hope it gets a reboot someday.

Such a charming little game. You can feel a bit of Super Mario in this game even though this came out 2 years before

UGHHHH literally my favorite game as a kid. First video game I ever played.

I'm so confused at life at how he's going thru so many cats.. especially the big one lmao I remember when I was little I could only do that a once every blue moon by accident 😣

I'm only 13 yet I'm pretty good at this (in my opinion) but only because I've played it most my life. I never knew that it was SOO old until the other day, still amazing

Omg its been so long I finally found this game. I remember playing it when I was 4 and finally after so much time I remember this game name

Simplicity at it's best )

One of my favorite games ever!! So cute and fun

5:49 Mappy's death always creeped me out as a kid.

Mappy is actually based on a robot toy that Namco created a few years before the release of the arcade game of the same name.

You guys don't understand just how long it took my to find this game. I love the music and have had it stuck in my head for the past 2 years til I FINALLY found this (all search results would always return Game Play from PAC-MAN). God I love this music

Was thinking if I should get this for NS Switch, seeing the vid made me miss the game haha so I’m definitely buying 😂

If it wasn't for Pac-Man's Up B i would never knew the existence of this game

16:35 you didn't learn from the last 2 bonus rounds: those extra balloons are to throw you off... just do exactly what you did the first bonus round and you will get the majority of balloons and the bonus blue balloon at the end.
