Battle Bugs



This is a classic game launched in 1994 that ran in DOS yet it is a very memorable game for me even though I played it when I was about 7yrs old. It is a real time strategy game whereby you control bugs wearing military outfit to gain territory and food pieces and eradicate enemy insects controlled by a 2nd player or computer AI.


The view is isometric and occurs in household locations such as kitchen counters whereby there will be food pieces lying around. You win the game by getting insects on the food pieces long enough whereby they will then plant flags to mark their territory. Upon succeeding, you will then proceed to the next campaign at a new location. Enemies are attacked by throwing bombs and different insects in the army such as ants, beetles, spiders or cockroaches will have varying strengths and abilities such as defense.

And interesting fact is that the game covers is a spoof of "Raising the Flag in Iwo Jima".

I think that the game is conceptually very interesting and humorous at the same time which makes it a great classic game back in the days.
