Chichu Rocket: A Classic Puzzle Game

Chichu rocket is a puzzle game where you're guiding a bunch of mice to a spaceship while a evil cat chases them it was meant to be made multiplayer so playing like the core game single player is not that fun. Bass fishing pretty self-explanatory, parison one virtual tennis and space channel five are other games we want to shout out from this list.
