But now our oddest nightmares are coming true - a new enemy is sending masses of invaders to infect our computers, palmtops, dish washers and even some of the coffee-percolators! The only way to prepare for the final battle is to live abstinent (OK, this one isn't _that_ necessary), think fast, practice hard and - of course - use the appropriate training tool. Therefore, we at Cramon Utilities decided to create one of the best training devices ever designed, which (as a side effect) is also: The Ultimate Arcade Game for OS/2. So: Fasten your seat belts and blast your way through the hordes of mutant bugs, spiders and other nasty creatures in this original fast-paced galaga style arcade game. Dazzling graphics and explosive sounds meet you as you pilot your lonely ship trying to free the galaxy from Bills Evil BUGS! Stardock Systems Inc. and Cramon Utilities today relased B.U.G.S. for OS/2 version 1.56 This upgrade fixes some annoyances with window creation/activation and some other minor issues. It has been the common belief among OS/2 users that the OS/2 version of B.U.G.S. has been neglegted compared to the Windows version. This is far from true. Even though there has been a difference in version numbers the games are, except from small differences in their user interfaces, equal. To clear this up the new fixpack for the OS/2 version has brought the version number up to version 1.56 to match the Windows version. As something quite new, the full version of B.U.G.S., which can be downloaded from Stardocks Commercial Server, is now wrapped in a totally new and cool GUI installer developed by Douglas Hendrix of Stellar Frontier fame. Thanks to Douglas for his help! Expect to see a release of this cool freeware, crossplatform and open-source installer later this year :) Visit the B.U.G.S.
