Control stink bugs, cockroaches, lightning bugs, ants and more. They are all part of your 22 bug army. Each has its own mobility, strength and weapon characteristics. Use classic military strategy as your insectile troops fight enemy bugs over a kitchen floor strewn with junk food! Fight for dominance, against the clock, or sometimes just to survive. 56 battles, each more complex and challenging, and all with the kind of tongue-in-cheek humour that will keep you buzzing with laughter!Features
- Use sophisticated strategies based on real military tactics. Simple to learn, but hard to master.
- 22 different bugs to battle, from ants to flies to bees to stink bugs, all with their own unique strengths, weaknesses and abilities.
- Unusual pause-to-plan real-time strategy gameplay. Carefully choose your moves, then un-pause time to let the action play out – pausing again at any time to re-issue orders.
- Humorous military briefings, victory celebrations, funny parodies, and puns. So many puns.
- Charming animations and high-resolution (for 1994) VGA colour graphics.
- Single player and two-player modes.
Battle Bugs was created in 1994 by Epyx Inc., and designed primarily by Dennis Caswell, legendary creator of such classics as Impossible Mission and Pitstop II.

Reliving my own childhood with my son. Game somewhat holds up. Antiquated lack of convention (no pause shortcut, no scrolling the camera over the map with a keyboard command), but a well-thought out game. When a unit gets stuck in a loop unable to comply with a command, you get amazed at how it doesn't actually happen more often. The 90's were cool.

In Conclusion,
It's been decades since I played Battle Bugs, yet I was pleased that the experience matched by nostalgic memories. I was further delighted to learn that I remembered most of the levels, though not necessarily how to beat them. Despite its age, Battle Bugs, aside from some minor control issues, has aged well. Its intricate puzzles require thought and planning, while feeling unique. The variety of bugs and weapons ensure that no solution is repeated. The art style, or bright colors and punny jokes, creates bugs with character. And as military trained bugs, the soldiers follow orders with mechanics that are straightforward and understandable.
