Bugfeast

Bugfeast is a video game in the action genre originally released in 1983. It is currently playable on DOS.

Thought frogs had it easy? Bugfeast is here to shatter your idyllic concept of the daily life of little green jumpers, and show you how tough it is in the wild, even when all you want to do is catch a handful of flies. Your ASCII amphibian can jump left and right, and extend its tongue to grab the fat, juicy insects. But with those huge desert spiders chasing you and naughty kids trying to catch you for fun, life is tough out there.

Since you're a frog, you can try to hide underwater . . but that will only attract the evil water snakes. With a little luck, you can squash the spiders and avoid the cage traps, and with even more luck, you can wake up the cactus dweller to increase your score. The 'super tongue' gives you greater range, but use more than your limited number of licks; if you run out, it will kill you as surely as any varmint. And if this all sounds too hard, the difficulty level is adjustable.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
