- Animated Bugs Tom Guthery IV
- REGISTRATION $12.00 To Run:Type BUGS
-
- New Release
-
- "Animated Bugs" is a board game for young children that is
- full of color (256 of them), sound (effects and voices),
- and of course, animation (there is over 1.5 meg of graphics
- and sound). The child can choose from five different garden
- backgrounds.
-
- The game play involves two bugs - "Red Bug" and Blue Bug" -
- that move along a path to the end of the board. The players
- can be two people, or the child can play against the PC
- (the computer can even play against itself, which can be
- fun to watch). Along the way the bugs can encounter squares
- with A's in them - which give a mini-animation with sound,
- or a ? symbol which can cause the player to move forward or
- backward several spaces. The number of ?'s is adjustable to
- set the level of "trickiness". Movement is determined by a
- spinner that can be either numbers, colors, or shapes.
-
- At the end of the game, one of five different animated
- movie - rewards are shown. Children can get upset if they
- don't win, so I made the game such that the bug that is
- behind at the end says "Wait for me!" and flies to catch up.
-
- This program requires VGA and supports a variety of sound
- devices including SoundBlaster and compatibles, Disney Sound
- Source, Covox Speech Thing, and the PC speaker (about 20
- sound devices are supported).
