Aardvark

Welcome to nature! Guide Oscar the Aardvark in his quest for tasty ant eggs and the most delicious ants hidden deep below ground. But be careful with your tongue, you could get an unexpected bite!

Oscar will enter the scene and put his tongue down the anthill. Move the joystick left, right, down or up to move his tongue tip and eat all the eggs (10 points each). Press the fire button to quickly retract the tongue. Oscar cannot completely remove his tongue until the level is cleared.

Once all eggs in the anthill are eaten, Oscar will move to the next, more dangerous hill. Watch the sun moving across the sky. It will eventually set and night will fall, which will bring out the most deadly enemy, so you better hurry! Whenever Oscar moves to the next hill or loses a life, the bonus screen is shown. On this bonus screen, the worms eaten multiply the bonus score for each ant eaten.

Aardvark is available from the AtariAge store on cartridge, along with a full-color, 8-page manual, and professionally printed box, and is available in NTSC or PAL60 television formats.
