Look out for Brian!

Bug Blaster (Alligata) is an excellent "Centipede" game for the dedicated midnight key basher. As in the arcade version, you shoot from the bottom of the screen at the lurid multi-seg mented centipede as it dodges between mushrooms, slowly making its way towards you.

While you're busy zapping away, mean little red spiders sneak up and new rows of mushrooms pop up in the path of a strange green thing which wanders around with a tuneless hum every now and then. Added hazards include Brian, the mushroom poisoning scor pion.

A quality version of a classic computer game - highly recommended.
