Bugs

About

Bugs is a straightforward arcade shooter where you take aim at swarms of bugs onscreen. Released in 1986 for the Amstrad CPC, it plays like a simple but twitchy test of reflexes. The goal is to blast as many insects as possible while avoiding their erratic movements. Controls are basic, with minimal polish beyond the core action. The game’s most notable trait is its reused synth music from Flight Path 737, a curious repurposing that gives it a nostalgic audio layer. Distributed as a free bonus with a Spanish Amstrad magazine, it’s a relic of early 80s home computing. While not complex by modern standards, its no-frills gameplay and retro charm make it a curiosity for CPC collectors.
