CORAL GABLES, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 2, 1999--
Meet The Sharp-Witted, Audacious Bug That Started It All!
Crazy about bugs? Expert Software, Inc. (Nasdaq:XPRT) brings you
our gnat-brained animated hero, the insect with an attitude, the
classic bug game that started it all -- Bug!(tm) from the Sega(R) PC
Collection. Join Bug! in his first starring role in a real-time 3D
adventure just crawling with bugs.
In this easy-to-use, fun and addicting adventure game, our hero
is up to his antennae in trouble when the evil spider widow Queen
Cadavra captures his bug pals for pantry fodder. Our hero is an
irreverent mighty mite with feelers who uses his tush and deadly aim
to clobber villains. The ultimate mission is to get to the showdown at
Queen Cadavra's web without getting squashed in the process!
It's Bug! to the rescue as he butt-bounces his way through
pest-plagued Bug Island. You must guide Bug! through six island
kingdoms -- Insectia, Reptilia, Splot, Quaria, The Bur-r-bs and
Arachnia -- to save his multi-legged friends before they're eaten for
lunch! Along the way, Bug! meets super cool Daddy-O Longlegs, Queen
Cadavra's only surviving ex, while the Queen herself awaits Bug! at
the end of his journey with her insatiable appetite!
Help Bug! collect power-ups such as Blue Crystals, Bug Juice and
Hearts to assist him on his mission. Bug! can spit wads of bug juice
at his insidious insect enemies in four fun colors -- lime green,
fiery red, racy blue and deep purple. Bug! ducks, zaps, jumps and also
has a few smooth moves, such as the bug bounce and zap attack,
creeping up his sleeve. The Juice Meter loses juice as Bug! suffers
damage from his enemies -- lose all the juice and lose a life!
Bug! is easy to play for all ages with two levels of difficulty;
including 19 real-time 3D levels with awesome play mechanics and
incredible SGI - rendered movie sequences. CD quality audio and
digitized voice make Bug! even more entertaining. Play in windows or
full screen mode and tailor graphics for peak PC performance with four
resolutions, including hi-res.
