Battle Bugs

Moby ID: 308

The Alluring odor of last week's pizza lies heavy in the air. Antennae strain and agony etches lines of pain into the faces of the cockroaches. With monumental effort, these warriors raise the flag above the carnage in the pepperoni.

This is Battle Bugs. A game of military strategy where insect troops rage across tabletops and storm junk food targets. Standing in their way are legions of enemy bugs, armed to the teeth. You - and your battle smarts - guide your troops to glory. Will your armada of spiders cross the cola lake in time to save the flag? Will the suicide run of a kamikaze mosquito take out the praying mantis? At what cost? AT WHAT PRICE VICTORY?

  • TRIUMPH IN 56 strategically challenging levels, each with different battle scenarios. COMMAND 22 INSECTS, each with its own speed and mobility, tactical ability and firepower.

  • CHALLENGE THE computer or other egomaniacal and tyrannical humans.

  • HUMOROUS MILITARY briefings, victory celebrations and parodies.

  • HIGH RESOLUTION graphics.

Wir werden in der Pizza kämpfen. Wir werden in den Keksen kämpfen. Wir werden in Krautsalat kämpfen. Wir werden niemals aufgeben. Winston Anthill

DER BETÖRENDE Duft der Pizza von letzter Woche liegt schwer in der Luft. Die Fühler recken sich, und der Schmerz treibt Falten in die Gesichter der Kakerlaken. Unter äußerster Anstrengung richten die Krieger über dem Schlachtfeld zwischen den Wurstresten die Flagge auf.

Das ist Battle Bugs. Ein militärisches Strategiespiel, in dem Insektensoldaten über Tischplatten stürmen und Lebensmittel erobern. Doch bis an die Zähne bewaffnete Legionen feindlicher Insekten stellen sich ihnen in den Weg. Sie - und Ihre Führungsqualitäten - verhelfen Ihren Truppen zum Ruhm. Wird es Ihrer Spinnenarmada gelingen, den Colasee rechtzeitig zu überqueren, um die Flagge zu retten? Werden die Mücken-Kamikazes die Gottesanbeterin besiegen können? Zu welchem Preis? WAS KOSTET DER SIEG?

  • TRIUMPHIEREN SIE IN 56 strategisch anspruchsvollen, völlig unterschiedlichen Schlachten.
  • BEFEHLIGEN SIE 22 INSEKTEN, die sich in Geschwindigkeit, Beweglichkeit, taktischen Fähigkeiten und Kampfkraft voneinander unterscheiden.
  • FORDERN SIE DEN Computer oder andere selbstsüchtige, tyrannische Menschen heraus.
  • HUMORVOLLE EINSATZBESPRECHUNGEN, Siegesfeiern und Parodien.
  • HOCHAUFLÖSENDE Grafik.
