About PlusPak: B.U.G.S.:
    You must save the universe from Bill's Unbelievable Ghastly
    Spaceships! The evil Bill wants nothing less than to rule the
    universe and you are Earth's only hope. Take command of the
    defender and blast the BUGS from the galaxy. 50 levels and
    several boss bugs stand in your way. Many hours of fun are in
    this original OS/2 arcade game.


Excerpts from the review in OS/2 e-Zine!:
    "...The game has many similarities to Galaga, but is far from a
     straight clone of the classic arcade game. It is well polished
     and plays well, and since there are 50 levels for each
     difficulty (and I still haven't quite managed to beat it on
     the easiest level), you are assured of hours of gameplay."

    "...While there is room for improvement, I found PlusPak:
     B.U.G.S to be quite fun. Everything is well polished, and
     the authors were quite responsive when I made suggestions or
     found any minor bugs.  I look forward to more good things
     from the guys at Cramon Utilities."
