Eat the eggs to become energized before they hatch into more bees. When you are energized you can kill bees, which is just as good as trapping them. Do not touch a bee otherwise because they will kill you.

Defend yourself from horizontally moving aliens who fire on your ship. Defend your fuel tanks from walking machines who fire missiles into the air. Technical: The game has a voice simulation. As it was created in 1981, the quality of the voice is not all that great but for the time it was an innovative attempt to stand out. 1 Player Start 1 2 Players Start 2 Coin 1 5 Coin 2 6 P1 Left LEFT P1 Right RIGHT P1 Button 1 LCONTROL or Mouse B1 P2 Left D P2 Right G P2 Button 1 A
