Artwork available
WIP:
- 0.143u3: hap fixed unable to coin in War of the Bugs.
- 0.137u4: Irongiant added clone 'War of the Bugs or Monsterous Manouvers in a Mushroom Maze (German)'.
- 27th December 2008: Mr. Do - From a post at KLOV, I learned that War of the Bugs was created as a conversion kit for Galaxian, so this game gets that bezel.
- 0.59: Added 2nd player and removed 2nd coin slot. Added 'Cabinet' and 'Unused SW 0-2' dipswitches.
- 0.37b16: Changed description to 'War of the Bugs or Monsterous Manouvers in a Mushroom Maze'.
- 0.34b1: Added color prom.
- 0.29: Accurate colors in War of the Bugs [Tim Lindquist, Nicola Salmoria].
- 0.28: Mike Balfour added high score saving to War of the Bugs.
- 0.06: Star background in Galaxians & co [Nicola Salmoria]. The way I calculate it is probably not correct, anyway it looks reasonable.
- 0.05: Nicola Salmoria added 'War of the Bugs' (Armenia 1981). Game is playable with wrong colors and limited sound. Control: Arrows = Move around and CTRL = Fire. Known issues: Only one sound channel is emulated, and I'm not sure it's correct. No star background (is it used?). What do the dip switches do?
