Play Tom And Jerry ? Frantic Antics (1993) Online

Tom and Jerry: Frantic Antics came out for the Sega Genesis in 1993, developed by Hi Tech Expressions. It was part of that wave of licensed platformers that filled the shelves back then, a straightforward attempt to bring the cartoon chaos to the 16-bit console.

You control either Tom or Jerry across several side-scrolling stages, each with a different theme like a spooky house or a city street. Your main goal is to navigate these levels from left to right, avoiding enemies and collecting items like cheese and milk to increase your score. The game uses a screen-by-screen progression; when you reach the edge, the view locks and you must clear the area of hazards before moving on. You can pick up and throw objects at enemies, a mechanic that directly references the slapstick fights from the cartoons. The pacing is fast and the difficulty can be unforgiving, with instant-death pits and enemies that respawn quickly. Playing it feels like a frantic scramble, capturing the perpetual chase of the source material in a demanding, old-school challenge.
