Exterminator review
This time we present you a glimpse into the insects fauna, in this Exterminator review. The game is very simple in the aim to shoot down the worm that is coming closer to you. You are disturbed in your aim with all the cactuses that are in your way. But this is not enough, you need to be alert on the eagle always prepared to take a bite of you.
The spider is also lurpassing on you and looks to attack you when the worm is reaching the downfloor and you are so concentrated in wiping out the last piece off it. That’s when the poiseness tarantula hits you.
The longer we come the more vicious creatures are introduced. You have the fast moving scorpion and the always with precision falling mosquito. So watch out!
This is a game that is easy to get started with, there is really nothing complicated with it. Those are the games we love, just start it and you are playing it. A warning that the game is highly addictive – you always want to reach to the next level and beat your previous highscore.
Exterminator is a similar type of game that runs under som many names, you have Spectipede, Caterpillar, Centipede, Millipede. Just mentioning a few of them. I remember Centipede from the Arcades.
But Bubble Bus has really managed to make a good version of this type of game.
What is your record?
From the Magazines
This is an adaptation of the ever popular arcade game Caterpillar. As such, it is a faithful reproduction and very fast. Bugs crawl down from the top of the screen. You’ve got to shoot them before they reach the bottom of the screen.
When they get there, they mill around creating confusion and yet more bugs. Added to this conundrum are scorpions, eagles, tarantulas and other nasttes out to get you. The next level appears if and when the screen is cleared, and you go through the debugging operation all over again – but this time it’s faster.
It’s suprising, perhaps, but doing it all over again doesn’t become boring: and the Sher speed of the action keeps your nose firmly pressed to the screen. It’s a good fastshot game but you won’t need too much brain matter to play it.

From the Covers
A really nice cover, giving us the plot in a well drawn battle – like always Bubble Bus brings us great illustrations on their covers. This always getting us interested in playing their games.
Play Shoot everything that moves, and everything that doesn’t (except the spider). Follow the instructions on the screen to enter number of players etc. Extra men are awarded and the game speeds up as you proceed. F5 will turn the sound on and off. F7 will freeze and unfreeze the action. Restore key will restart game.
GOOD LUCK
