Play Catch ‘em Online

Catch 'Em is an arcade style game released in 1992 for the MS-DOS platform. It was developed by Prestige Softwareentwicklung GmbH and published by Global Software. The game presents its action from a side view perspective.

The player controls Jeff, a zookeeper tasked with recapturing escaped monkeys. The primary objective is to lure the monkeys using a limited supply of bananas and then stun them with a baseball bat. Once stunned, the monkeys must be placed into a finite number of available boxes to be safely returned. This process must be completed within a set time limit for each stage. The game world is built from platforms, ladders, and ledges which Jeff must navigate.

Progression involves completing a series of levels under increasing pressure. Key gameplay systems include managing limited resources like bananas and boxes while navigating the environment. Players must also avoid hazards such as falls, which stun Jeff and waste valuable time, and banana peels dropped by the monkeys, which can disrupt movement. The challenge comes from balancing the pursuit of multiple monkeys against the constraints of time and inventory.
