B.U.G.S. (Bill's Unbelievable Ghastly Spaceships) is an enhanced Galaga clone, originally for OS/2 and later ported to Windows by v1.5. Aliens fly onto the screen in waves and attack in predictable patterns. The hero's ship can fly in all directions, but only fire straight up. Defeated aliens sometimes drop power-ups, such as increased firepower (less time between shots), torpedoes, and shields. Activating a shield protects the hero's ship for 4 seconds or 6 enemy shots. Every 10 levels, there's a boss fight against a MasterBug. There are 50 levels in this game, with only 6 playable in the shareware demo.
