Bed Bugs

A good original game which should appeal to those with a slightly twisted sense of humour. The theme is the elimination of bed bugs and fleas. It would have been easy enough to provide an use a laser base attached to the beside lamp (where else?).

But not this game. You have a jam sandwich to swat the fleas and false teeth to crunch the bed bugs. The sandwich is best - it was a wider area than the false teeth, which compensate by being able to kill bed bugs which the sandwich won't damage. The sandwich leaves stains which then have to be sponged and, as you can't hold two things at once, the fleas are free to bite.

The final solution, if you are badly bitten (nine bites leading to a nasty death!) is to call Dr. Soothe. But don't leave it too late - as he arrives slowly on occasions.

Good colour, fast action, new ideas and realistic sound (yes, I know what fleas sound like!) mean a good value game which I fully intend to master soon. Also on disc at £8.95.
