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).

the Shareware Industry Award for "Best Educational
