Wow, that's a different article. You don't really hear much about that one.

I'm surprised they made no mention of it as to being "Kaboom! in reverse". However, talking about the things that made it special was cool though. I always thought it was funny to have a bug chew through the entire building!

This is a fun game. I had not known about it until a couple of years ago. I own it now and I got it signed by Dan. I believe there is a clone of this game coming for the Intellivision and there's even a version of the game that was recently released for the Commodore 64: Crackpots – A new game for the Commodore 64, ported from the original Atari 2600link. It looks really good!

I got it back in the day myself for about $15 at Target. It's fun to show others
