Back to: Felix the Cat.

Version comparisons

Title screen

Mega Drive

NES

The title screen is much more basic compared to the original game. Whereas the original game's title screen had an animation of Felix popping out of his magic bag and copyright information, the Mega Drive version just has a static image of Felix and no copyright information. There is also a selection for an options screen.

Opening

Mega Drive

NES

The opening sequence shows an animated sequence of Felix receiving a call from the Professor in the original game. In this version, it's a static image. All other cutscenes have been removed.

Game start

Mega Drive

NES

There are no title cards at the beginning of levels.

Continue

Mega Drive

NES

The Continue and Game Over screens are seperate screens from each other rather than being a single screen. The Continue screen is a static image of Felix as an angel.

Game over

Mega Drive

NES

The Game Over screen, meanwhile, is a notoriously graphic still image of Felix ripping his head apart and exposing his skull. The original game shows an animated sequence of Felix being kicked into a back alley.

Ending

Mega Drive

NES

The ending screen is simply a static image with text in the Genesis version. In the NES version, every letter appears one at a time.
