O Bee stars in multi-maze
arcade adventure |
Buzzzz
. . .here comes an arcade adventure converted from the
Spectrum. BarnaBEE is the hero of the hour, and he's
on a quest to find his cousin who's been kidnapped by
a vicious gang of ants.
Deep
inside the ants' nest you'll have to delve to rescue
poor Boris. Naturally, this is not a simple task and
yukky insects will block your path as you enter the
depths of the nest.
There
are also little spikey blue blobs left lying around
which the instructions don't tell you about, but which
you'll soon suss are poisonous and sap your stamina.
You are on the far right of the screen. You've
just picked up lots of pollen from a flower and
there are three other flowers, two bugs and a
lump of poison.
Controlling
your bee is quite a simple task: left and right and
fly, although BarnaBEE does have a lot of inertia.
There
are many screens in this adventure, most of which are
easy to fly around. Collect the pollen from each flower
on the screen: sometimes this will open a door to another
screen -- indeed the door opened may itself be on a
different screen to the one you're on. These ants' nests
are complicated places.
Another
way to make a new exit or entrance is by touching certain
walls: they may dissolve giving you a new passage.
There
are two entrances to the underground complex, both of
which need to be used. Occasionally a room can only
be half-searched, and you will need to backtrack before
you can complete your exploration.
