How To Win Circle The Cat Game

Circle The Cat is a simple yet challenging online game until you have a basic strategy. There are two ways to get a strategy that works. You can keep playing the game until you get a feel for how to catch the cat. This could literally take hours off your life. Or you can watch this video and see how the professionals trap the cat.

My suggestion:
Start wide, leave a gap between the green dots as you work the cat into a big circle. Only click on a dot that connects three when you absolutely have to. Don’t close off the cat’s direction until you have to, it leaves you time to completed a big circle first.

You can play Circle the Cat here.

Thanks to TheKgilley for uploading the video.

Rosemarie Fiore Tempest Time Lapse Photo

New York based visual artist Rosemarie Fiore created this time lapse photograph. It was taken one frame per second during gameplay of the 1980′s arcade game Tempest.

Tempest is an Atari game and featured an advanced color display for its time. The game was initally meant to be a 3D version of Space Invaders making it one of the earliest 3D-like games to hit the arcade floors. These vibrant colors and the 3D quality do an amazing job of capturing the energy of the early 1980′s arcade games.

Rosemarie also shot photos from several other games.
