The bugs are back… and this time they're taking over the show!
In this swarm-tastic episode, The Drisk and The G Man dive headfirst into the sticky, six-legged world of classic bug-themed games. From arcade flyers to cartridge classics, we're covering a buzzing lineup of insect invaders, mechanical creepy-crawlies, and absolute chaos on screen.
Games featured:
Black Widow (Arcade Flyer)
Buck Bumble (N64)
Insector X (NES)
Lady Bug (Arcade & ColecoVision)
N2O: Nitrous Oxide (PS1)
Yars' Revenge (Atari 2600)
Mushihimesama (Arcade Flyer)
Mr. Mosquito (PS2)
Expect plenty of nostalgia, questionable game design choices, hilarious stories, and way too much talk about pixelated blood-sucking and robotic bees with jetpacks.
Grab your virtual fly swatter and join us as we ask the important question: Can anything stop the bug invasion?
Don't get squashed! 🐛🕷️🐝
