Santulli Slant: Here’s a classic "panic" game that has stood the test of time, much like the insects that represent the game’s primary characters. Use your "magic wand" (tee hee) to exterminate spiders, scorpions, fleas, and the king of the mushroom patch, the centipede. Enough to make you stay indoors for awhile. Note, this game was vastly improved (in my humble opinion) with Atari’s sequel Millipede. [Gr: 6, So: 6, Ga: 7, Ov: 6]
