Bugout

Giant bugs scurry across a lawn at night, from the hedge on the right toward the house on the left, one bug in each of seven lanes. Smilin' Stan the exterminator guards the house: he moves up and down and sprays a line of mist from his can. A bug caught in the spray goes up in a puff; a new one replaces it. Bumping into a bug pushes it back toward the hedge for a while, but bees are different: a bee that touches Stan stings him, and he cannot move or spray for two seconds. Each bug sprayed speeds the game up and is worth more, from 10 points up to 210. Every bug that reaches the house is a miss, and the third miss ends the game.

Controls: Controller 1 or 2: the stick moves Stan up and down, and a button sprays (hold it to spray again and again). On the title, up and down choose and a button selects.
