Going back to my youth!
Back in the 80’s, while my contemporaries were blowing up asteroids or shooting invaders from space, my game of choice was a Pac-Man clone called Ladybug.
Ladybug was a maze-based game where the mission was to dash around eating crosses, hearts and letters (spell Extra for an extra life). The game featured revolving doors that could be used to trap the bugs that inhabit the maze. Once 4 bugs roam free, there’s a mystical fruit in the centre of the maze that stuns the bigs briefly, allowing you to complete the level.
I’ve been on a quest to track down Ladybug for some years, and found it a while back for the MAME emulator – but it was a lot of hassle to set up and play.
Now, I’ve found it again – this time, it’s an Adobe Flash game, and it seems you can play it online, free at http://www.freepacmangame.net/ladybug_pacman.html
Anyone else remember this classic coin-up? Or is it just me…?
Just one more go, mum…
No dude, I also remember it. In my neighborhood we had an arcade that had several games. This was back in 1982, out of all the amazing games we had back then, I decided to master this one (highest score 307590). I recently founded and downloaded to my computer, that was a truly blast from the past. Unfortunately my hard disk crashed and lost it. After I downloaded it, I never saved the name of that website, so I have no clue of its name. That’s what brought me here, I’m on a quest to find it and I know I will…
