Aim of the game
For some inexplicable reason, a flea called Bugaboo has fallen
into a deep gorge, and it's your job to get him out as quickly as
possible.
Game play
The controls are incredibly simple - hop left or hop right.
At the botton of the screen is a bar indicating the strength of the hop.
When you press the desired direction key, Bugaboo turns in that
direction. You release the key when you have got what you think is the
right strength of jump. A hazard you will have to face is a yellow
dragon which, after a few minutes, enters and eats you. You can however
start again immediately but the dragon will appear at shorter and
shorter intervals, giving you less and less time.
Comments
"It's a delight to play and mind-blowingly frustrating."

Simple, rather garish graphics and simple gameplay - despite
this, BUGABOO is actually rather good. It's another one of those 8-bit
classics with an indefinable appeal...
