Hello fellow bee folks!  I thought that this might be of interest to
some on this list.  I haven't actually downloaded this yet, so I don't
know if it is even worth the effort, but I thought it was pretty funny
so I'm sharing...
 
bee well...

The Bumbler demo has been stepped to version 1.0.1.  The new version fixes
a rare bug on that occurred on some machines, causing a crash when you quit.
 
Additionally:
 
1. Bumbler can now be ordered on-line via credit card (many people outside
   the U.S. have asked for this).
2. The Dadgum Games web page has been completely revamped and contains
   lots more information.
 
Bumbler is a new action game for the Power Macintosh that has received a
four-mouse review from MacUser.  Protect your beehive from attacking bees,
hornets, spiders, armored beetles, and other realistically crawling and
flying insects.  Fortunately, you can fire six stingers at a time...
 
Bumbler is fast, small, and original.  Even with 75 insects swarming about
your hive, Bumbler still runs at sixty frames per second on low-end Power
Macs.  The demo checks in at under 550K for the HQX file, yet it is fully
playable and chock full of graphics and sound; it looks like it should be
five or six times larger than it is.  And it is only available for the
Power Mac.
 
The Bumbler demo can be grabbed from http://www.dadgum.com
