Exterminator

This is an adaptation of the ever-popular arcade game Caterpillar. As such, is is a faithful reproduction and very fast.

Bugs crawl down from the top of the screen. You've got to shoot them before they reach the bottom of the screen. When they get there, they mill around creating confusion and yet more bugs. Added to this conundrum are scorpions, eagles, tarantulas and other nasties out to get you.

The next level appears if and when the screen is cleared, and you go through the debugging operation all over again - but this time it's faster. It's surprising, perhaps, but doing it all over, again *doesn't* become boring; and the sheer spread of the action keeps your nose firly pressed to the screen. It's a good fast-shot game but you won't need too much brain matter to play it.
