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.

Excellent game play and really lovely graphics and funny details in the food descriptions during mission briefings. Great childhood memories.

This game has aged very well since its release in 1994. It is a pause-able RTS with 22 different units that are employed across the 54 (I think) different scenarios. The variety of units means that you have to make a lot of considerations when you plan out your strategy for a given battle. You can tell that a huge attention to detail went into this game and many maps require you to figure out the trick to using your assortment of bugs to full effect and defeat the enemy. The level of difficulty for me is just right were many maps are challenging, but they don't feel impossible. Given a few tries, I have been able to figure out every battle so far.
For awareness, you will need to view the manual that is provided via Steam in order to get past the 1994 DRM (password) when you log in.
