Danger Mouse is a series of three games that were released by Creative Sparks on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and MSX home computers between 1984 and 1985; they were based on Cosgrove-Hall Productions' and Thames Television's animated series of the same name, and when the show later begat a spinoff, Count Duckula, it became the basis for two more games released by Alternative Software (in 1989 and 1992).


 * Danger Mouse in Double Trouble (ZX, C64, CPC, 1984): The first title in the series was an action game which saw Danger Mouse (and his faithful assistant, Ernest Penfold), setting out to stop Baron Silas Greenback (the main antagonist of the show, although he did not appear in every episode) from developing an android Danger Mouse and unleashing it on the world before teatime; Agent 57 also appears as a magenta duck in the first part.


 * Danger Mouse in the Black Forest Chateau (ZX, C64, MSX, 1984): The second title for the series was a text adventure which saw Danger Mouse and Penfold setting out to stop Greenback from using a mysterious "pie-beam" on the world's leading politicians and getting them into a sticky mess; in 2008, this game was remade for today's Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and GP2X operating systems, featuring stills from the show as backgrounds.


 * Danger Mouse in Making Whoopee (ZX, CPC, 1985): The third title in the series was another action game which saw Danger Mouse setting out to rescue Penfold who had been kidnapped by Greenback, and stop the latter from planting whoopee cushions under every seat at the United Nations; there was also a Danger Mouse game released for the Commodore Amiga (by an unknown publisher, at an unknown time), but despite featuring the voices of Sir David Jason (as Danger Mouse himself) saying "Come on, let's go!" at the start of each stage, and "Good grief!" each time he lost a life, Myfanwy Talog (1944-1995, the theme song's vocalist) singing "He's the greatest secret agent in the world" at the end of each stage and Terry Scott (1926-1994, as Ernest Penfold) saying "Cor!" at the end of each stage, it was just a knock-off of Century Electronics' 1983 arcade game Hunchback.
