Bug Squad

Bug Squad is a video game in the action genre and published by Softek International Ltd. originally released in 1984. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

Bug Squad is a single-screen shooting game based on the arcade game Centipede in which you are a squirtomatic garden controller 'Zappo' and must destroy a centipede-like creature to complete each level. You control the Zappo at the bottom of the screen and move left or right, as well as moving forward and backward a short distance by shooting upwards. The Centipede appears at the top of the screen moving across the screen from side to side and when it hits a piece of grass or the edge of the screen it moves down and moves in the opposite direction.

If the centipede is shot by you then it splits in two and each part splits in two each time it is shot. Also on the screen is a lot of grass that redirects the centipede and can be removed after a couple of shots for extra points. In addition to the grass, there is a magnet, a lawnmower, and a flying bottle, and when you shoot them, they leave more grass, and the lawnmower leaves poisonous grass. If you get hit by any of them, as well as the centipede, you lose one of the three lives, and when the centipede is eliminated, you move on to the next level to face another one.
