Catch ‘Em

Catch 'Em is a DOS game where the player controls Jeff, a zookeeper tasked with recapturing escaped monkeys. The environment consists of multi-level stages with platforms and ladders, and the action is constrained by a time limit.

Jeff uses bananas to lure the monkeys, though his supply is limited. Once a monkey is close, he must stun it with a baseball bat before placing it in a box for return to the zoo; the number of available boxes is also finite. This close-quarters requirement makes the gameplay challenging.

Additional hazards include falls, which stun Jeff and give the monkeys an opportunity to flee, and banana skins that can impede his movement.
