Tom
The scheming cat and one of the central playable characters.
How it plays
Players control a cartoon character from a third-person perspective in compact arena stages. The objective is to damage opponents, knock them out, or complete the conditions of the selected mode.
Characters can move around the arena, attack at close range, defend, and use objects found in the environment. Single-player play includes battles against computer-controlled opponents, while multiplayer modes support competitive matches. Progression is based on clearing fights and opening additional content rather than developing a character through statistics.
Plan your run
Use the arena instead of standing in the center and trading attacks. Keep moving, watch for useful objects, and attack when an opponent is recovering.
In multiplayer, separating opponents and choosing the right moment to engage is usually safer than attacking everyone at once. Learn each arena’s hazards and escape routes before relying on close combat.

Tom and Jerry in Fists of Furry is a 2000 Nintendo 64 arena fighting game developed by VIS Entertainment and published by NewKidCo. It turns the classic cartoon rivalry into a lighthearted combat game in which familiar characters battle through destructible environments and improvised weapons. Matches emphasize movement, item use, and short bursts of slapstick action rather than complex tournament mechanics. The game offers several modes for solo and multiplayer play, with battles taking place in locations inspired by the cartoon. Reception was mixed: reviewers generally enjoyed the recognizable presentation and four-player fun, while criticizing the simple combat and limited depth.
