Felix the Cat Official Home Page for Felix the Cat and Friends. Alpha - My overlay pet. A game where you take care of your own pet sheep, but with a twist!
OK, Gang, it's time for a history quiz. Who was Charles Lindbergh's mascot for his famous transatlantic solo flight in the Spirit of St. Louis? Here's a hint: he was also the first image broadcast over television from the RCA Laboratories, and later he became the familiar test pattern at the opening and closing of NBC's broadcast. Need one more hint? He's also the star of a new game out this month from Hudson Soft. Those of you who've cheated and looked at the title of this article already know the answer: Felix the Cat!
- Felix CAT is described as 'The Felix translation memory system can help you be a more productive and consistent translator. Get the benefits of translation memory without the pain' and is an app in the Education & Reference category.

- THis Yahoo widget will provide your desktop with one Felix the Cat, and now includes his bag of tricks. Since it was created in the silent film era, Felix the Cat remains one of the most.
Feline Fine
Since his first appearance in 1922, Felix the Cat and his magical bag of tricks have become one of the most lovable cartoons in the world. In Felix the Cat for the NES, Hudson Soft dips into Felix's bag and comes up with magic. This side-scrolling action game is superb!
In an attempt to rescue Felix's girlfriend, Kitty, from his longtime foe the Professor, you play Felix on a quest through nine areas with multiple rounds. Other familiar cartoon folks that'll set your feline fur on end are Poindexter, Rock Bottom, Master Cylinder and Gulpo, King of the Blobs. They appear in varying forms at the end of each round.
ProTip: Some birds are friendly, and they allow you to ride on their backs.
Cat Head Collection
Felix's only defense in this game is his magic bag. You begin the game with one Magic Item, a punching glove. To reach a higher level of magic, you've gotta collect the Felix heads that are scattered throughout the game. For every 10 Felix heads you collect, Kitty drops you a magic heart. If you catch the heart, you gain a new Magic Item.
You've gotta keep a watchful eye on the status of your Magic Item. It only lasts a limited time. To make it last longer, you can grab milk bottles that appear when you collect five Felix heads.
Shoot at the 'F' circles repeatedly and they turn into 1-ups!
That Cat Can Accessorize
Felix makes you master a variety of skills. You use different Magic Items depending upon the round you're in. In some rounds, Felix pilots airships, including a hot air balloon and a biplane. In other areas, Felix gets his fur wet by steering a paddle boat and riding a dolphin. Then it's time to hold your breath as Felix tries his paw at scuba diving in the underwater rounds. There are so many places with unique Magic Items that the game never gets boring.
- To defeat the first Ross, Poindexter, stay close to him while you attack with your magic item and his basketballs will fly over you.
- Sometimes using the second best magic item works more effectively in close-up cat-fights.
Paper or Plastic?
Felix is full of special bonus rooms that contain a load of Felix heads and sometimes offer a shortcut to the end of the round. The rooms are found inside magic bags that are hidden throughout the game. When you're running low on magic hearts, the bonus rooms can be as fun as catnip! Be careful, though, you should always keep your eye on the time to make sure that Felix doesn't pass his limit by spending too much time looking for bonus rooms.
Look for bonus room magic bags above a springboard or buried in the brick.
A Feast for the Eyes
Felix the Cat sports some of the coolest graphics you've ever seen on an 8-bit system. Big characters and a cartoony style create the illusion that this is a playable cartoon. Detailed animation and special touches, like bubbles underwater, trees with eyes that follow you in the forest, and Poindexter's spinning basketball, all lend to Felix's all-you-can-eat visual buffet. Another fine touch is the animated end-of-area scenes that show Felix revealing his alley cat ancestry by wallowing in misery over his lost Kitty.
The controls for the game are easy to pick up. Maneuvering through the flying and the swimming stages is a little tricky, but nothing that a keen cat can't handle.
Defeat Gulpo on Round 4-3 of Felix World by staying behind the barrier and inching out to shoot.
A Kinder, Gentler Game
One important thing to note about the Felix game that is indicative of his comic book and animated cartoon incarnations is the virtual absence of violence. Even the sound never creates the tense or scary mood found in some action games. When you defeat a boss, it explodes but doesn't die. According to the manual, the foes in this game are not necessarily enemies. They're more like playfriends. Your weapons are called Magic Items. And, believe it or not, the game creators have managed to make even a cannon that shoots balls at you look cute and innocuous. Moreover, the manual comes packaged with an order form for 'Master Higgins' 10 Tips for Responsible Gaming.
Felix the Cat is fun to play! Its landslide of levels and abundance of Magic Items will keep folks with even the shortest attention spans engaged. The Cat is back! That's purr-fect for NES gamers everywhere.
A lightweight and portable application that adds a small cat to your desktop, while boasting several configuration options for all users
Neko is a tiny and portable utility that shows a cat on the desktop that chases the mouse cursor. It comprises a few configurable settings and targets all users who are constantly looking for new ways to animate their screens.
Since installation is not a requirement, you can drop the program files anywhere on the hard drive and run the executable immediately.
It is also possible to save Neko to a USB flash disk or similar device, in order to run it on any workstation with minimum effort.
An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows registry does not receive new keys, and files are not kept on the hard disk after app removal.
At startup, Neko creates an icon in the system tray area, where you can access the Settings panel. Therefore, you can create as many cats as you want and modify options for each profile.
It is impossible to increase or decrease the frame size, use another image from the library, make the frame stay on top of other windows, as well as adjust speed and mouse sensitivity.
In addition, you can set the frequency for triggering sounds and mark events (e.g. sleep, awake), enable footprints and apply an image from the library, as well as change the behavior mode (e.g. run away from the mouse, pace around the screen).
Neko has a good response time and barely uses CPU and RAM, so it doesn't affect user activity or slow down performance. No error dialogs have been shown in our tests, and the tool did not hang or crash. However, Neko has not been updated for a long time, and the video animation does not have a very good quality.
