Tom and Jerry In House Trap is a fun action-packed game where you play cat and mouse with the famous cartoon duo. The unique split-screen design lets you control your character and watch as your opponent falls victim to your clever traps. You can set slippery mishaps like a bar of soap or roller skates, or something more direct like an ironing board or frying pan. If you prefer a different approach, you can stand tall and duke it out with Tom & Jerry in a toe-to-toe battle.
The gameplay is all about setting traps and watching as your opponent gets caught. You can play through 15 different rooms, each filled with new challenges and opportunities to catch your opponent. The game also features 1-player and 2-player modes, so you can play with friends or family members. Tom & Jerry's friends even help out with traps and hints, adding an extra layer of excitement to the game.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a comedic action game where players relive the chaotic rivalry between Tom and Jerry, engaging in their classic chases and fights. Players navigate menus to experience these misadventures.
Story
Story
Jerry has written a book called "My Life With Tom", which is all about the misadventures that the two of them have had. Join them as they chew, scratch and bite over the times they have spent chasing, fleeing and hitting each other.
Menu Control
All of the menus in the game can be navigated by using the UP and DOWN directional buttons on the Controller.
Once you have highlighted your choice, simply press the Button to confirm your selection. Pressing the Button will take you back to the previous menu without saving any changes that you might have made.
How to Play
Setting Up
Set up your PlayStation® as described in its instructions. Place your "TOM and JERRY in House Trap™" disc into the console and close the disc cover.
Turn ON the machine by pressing the POWER button and the game will start to load.
Caution
The game checks for a MEMORY CARD shortly after the POWER is turned ON. To ensure that data is not damaged or lost, it is recommended that you do not insert or remove your MEMORY CARD or any other peripheral while your PlayStation is turned ON.
Main Menu
If the game demo is running, you can quit back to the Main Menu by pressing the START button on your Controller.
Several options are available from this screen:
•
One Player: Starts the one-player game where you play as Jerry trying to defeat the cunning Tom.
•
Two Player Game: Starts the two-player game where you can play against a friend. You will need two Controllers to play this version of the game.
•
Continue: Allows you to load any previously saved "TOM and JERRY in House Trap™" game from your MEMORY CARD.
•
Options: Allows you to customize the set-up of your game to your own specifications.
•
Credits: Select this option to view the team of designers, artists, and programmers who brought you Tom and Jerry in Housetrap.
The One Player Game
In this game, you control Jerry in his battle to fend off the ever-hungry advances of Tom, who is out to reduce your Health to zero. To win this game, you must beat Tom over 15 different levels of mayhem as madness sets in around the house they live in.
Along the way, new rooms will open for you to explore and new weapons will be made available for you to use against Tom. There are also other characters for you to meet, including some hapless ducklings, the beautiful female cat Toodles, and Spike the bulldog.
The Screen
The first thing you will notice is that the game is played on a split-screen display, even in One Player mode. On the UP half of the screen, you can see what you are doing as Jerry.
On the DOWN half of the screen, you can view Tom getting up to his old tricks. This allows you to keep track of what Tom is doing at all times – you can see when he's coming after you and know where he is when you want to attack him. It also means that you can enjoy the effects of your own handy work by seeing Tom being dazed by the Ironing Board or getting his feet stuck in the Glue.
In-Game Menu
Pressing the START button while playing the game will pause the game and all the action will stop. The pause menu also contains 5 options:
•
QUIT GAME yes/no
•
STEREO yes/no
•
SFX volume
•
MUSIC volume
•
VIBRATION yes/no
The UP and DOWN directional buttons will move the highlight up and down the 5 options. Selecting no on the QUIT GAME option will un-pause the game and take you back to the action. Selecting yes on the QUIT GAME option will take you back to the main menu.
Using Objects
There are several different types of objects that can be used around each of the levels in the game.
Hand to Hand objects
These are used for hand-to-hand fighting, so to use them, you must be close to Tom. Each hand-to-hand object can only strike Tom 3 times before it breaks, and you must select another weapon.
By pressing the button 2 or 3 times in quick succession, it is possible to perform a combo-attack, which will cause more damage than 3 unconnected hits. Hand-to-hand objects come in 3 sizes:
•
Small: These do little damage.
•
Medium: These do more damage.
•
Heavy: These do the most damage.
Thrown objects
It is not necessary to put yourself in danger and get so close to Tom with these, as you simply throw them at him. As long as Jerry is facing in the direction of Tom, the object will be thrown directly at him.
As with hand-to-hand objects, these come in 3 sizes:
•
Small: For light damage.
•
Medium: For more damage.
•
Heavy: For the most damage.
Dropped objects
Unlike the hand-to-hand and the thrown objects, the dropped hazards are stationary and rely on a character running into them to do damage. Once a dropped object has been stood on, it will disappear.
These objects can be dropped wherever you choose and provide an obstacle that Tom (and you) must avoid or pay the price. To pick up a dropped object, you must tip-toe over it, or you will be caught by it yourself. Note that you cannot drop an object on or too close to a doorway or in the trigger area of a room hazard.
Stealing
When a player strikes the other with a hand-to-hand weapon, any special objects carried by the struck player will be dropped, allowing the first player to steal the object if he or she is quick enough.
Hazards
Around the house, there are various hazards that you can set to trip up Tom and injure him without having to get too close. You will discover through trial and error which objects and furniture in the house are hazards.
If you think you have found a hazard, you can set it by pressing the button when you are in front of it. The hazard will then flash for a short period of time to show that it has been activated.
Be careful though, because once
