Watch out - the mad scientist has unleashed havoc on the world. The mutant bugs he created have escaped, and it's up to children to capture the icky insects and blast them off to outer space forever. Run through the junkyard, in and out and around the tires, and dash into a house under buggy siege. Quick....grab them in the classroom, snatch them in the swamp, and follow them all across town.
