The game subject and total lack of difficulty shows this game was going to be aimed at small children, much like Nick Tuner's previous game Demons to Diamonds. This and the fact that it looked almost identical to Mattel's Frogs and Flies could have been the reason it was eventually not released.
For being an unreleased game, there was certainly enough advanced press about it. A playable demo was shown at the Summer 1982 CES in Chicago and the game was actually reviewed in the December 1982 issue of Videogaming Illustrated. It describes 8 different insects, coming in waves of 30. Some mentioned are dragonflies and beetles (game starts with these), gnats (must be hit twice), and wasps (can stun you). Game ends when all the bugs have been caught or have fled. A couple of prototype boxes have also been found for this title. Two different prototype versions have been found - one with a 'rainbow' title screen and one with a detailed graphics screen. The game looks and plays the same with both.
The cart, (green) box and manual are reproductions from 2004. |
