Bugatron Gold is a well-designed space-shooter game borrows ideas from classics such as Galaga. In Bugatron, you must eradicate the evil alien insects, which swoop and dive at your spaceship in a variety of formations. The polished graphics added to our enjoyment, and the sound effects are blasting cool.

Bugatron lets you choose from three difficulty levels, select screen resolution, and adjust the audio volume, but you can't choose to play with your mouse instead of the keyboard. Bugatron is very entertaining and the masterfully designed foes add to the challenge.

If you like old-school games you'll like Bugatron.

While I was pleased with Retro64's title "Cosmo Bots", I certainly cannot say the same for Bugatron. It plays like Galaga and other games of that sort, except much worse. With very slow movement on...

Bugatron borrows almost every aspect of the game from Galaga, so it's difficult to review it without illuding back to it. It's basically the same game, sprinkled with new physics and graphics and...

Pros: Super Easy To Learn, Attractive Colors, Fun "Space" Music
Cons: The game is very simplistic. I wish there were a few more buttons to it. But depending on your outlook, this could be a "Pro" as easily as it could be a "Con".
Bugatron is a bit old-school, but has a lot of "Pizazz"! Very much like the arcade classics which I enjoy very much. This is a game that can entertain for hours on end. You can adjust the graphic...

Pros: *Nifty "jump" move. *Gold Version contains a hefty level count. *Graphics are not amazing, but pretty far from downright horrible.
Cons: *Lots of levels--Not worth playing. *No control scheme adjuster. *Price too High for a game of this sort. *MUCH finer Galaga replications exist.
Bugatron. Where to begin? Well, hey, at least it isn't a "buggy" game of any sort...Simply put, Bugatron is really a waste of your time. Unless you are a lover of repetitive, Galaga-wannabes, this...
