Did I see a few glitches in there? Glitches for such a simple game even in the early 80s tells me they DID get this thing out in a hurry as you mentioned.
Of course the gameplay concept is ludicrous! It’s an Atari game! Would you want it any different!?? I may be in the minority, but I like this game - in fact, I like all Data Age games!
If you like killing bugs, I suggest you look into Bugs Vs Tanks on the 3DS E-shop. It's not the best game out there, but it has its moments. Let me put it this way, you LITERALLY bring an army to kill a spider! I also want to point out that you play as Germans during WWII, so technically you're playing as Nazis.
Am I right in assuming one of the actual bugs in the game was shooting directly at the targets and the hits sometimes not registering? That's very much what it looked like to me. Also, heeeyyy, a Data Age game! They released the Journey game! Also not very fun! But I do love me some Journey, the band itself.
Earth Defense Force is fun if you are playing one player. Playing two players with your friends sucks vecause they keep constantly killing you by "accident"
I laught my ass of when he put this game on the atari jaguar,well anyway i can imagine if he is a huge atari 2600 and sega genesis fan,but offcourse those were the best day's.
Worst is relative to hype actually. It is epic in its fail level and iconic of when the videogame industry goes wrong by trying to do things connected with movies. Hmm... I am now recalling the modern AAA side of things.
Mark, now that you've killed off Derek and replaced Brandon with an ED-209 toy, will you please hire me? I know how to write, I am cuter than both Derek and Brandon, and I have excellent oral skills. Where do I send my resume?
*+Sir Unemployed Fraggot* I highly doubt you work for CGR. And the intro states that CGR is on a never-ending mission to review everything, which means that they are supposed to review new games also, just not as often. And 2010 is pretty far from being classic.
Damn you,Mark! We needed you back in '84! We needed you yo save everyone of us!

I only had the audio sheet that Data Age put out to advertise this and several other games, but that was actually really dope! Peace.
Please, a moment of silence for those who fell in the battle for Zarganar.
Isn't every week Atari Week on this channel? It's like Shark Week on Discovery.
Bugs sucks but you rock, man! Your reviews are great, short and fun! Keep up! Regards from Brazil!
I've never played this, but I can see myself having fun with this game.
Good work Mark. I would need lots of coffee to be able to review a game like this. So incredibly boring. You make it fun though.
This game may be terrible but my little kids think it’s HILARIOUS
Is Derek still dead on the floor and ED-209 replaced him too?
ALL HAIL THE MARLOC CANNON!
Not a bad idea for your comics actually.

love it mark
You should do classic album room. Start with Soundgarden Superunknown.
Gotta love that awful 2600 static sound & warp effect that appears in too many games.
"The music is terrible..."
You call that music?

So what exactly changed?
Still looks the same. I don't see any change at all.
You clearly haven't seen the "classic game room changes" video...
You can't see the change... you *feel* it.
Can you feel it? Can you feel the Truxton?
Mark had under the hood changes, but next week, he'll be in women's clothing, long hair and makeup!
***** I can.

an atari week? amazeballs
If someone sends Classic Game Room Amazeballs, I am sure it will get reviewed :-).
Some of those are supposed to be lizards right?
In Russia, you don't buy Bugs, Bugs buys you!
Anecdotally, the game says it’s “Bugs”; never mind this game sometimes has lizards in it...
Earth Defense Force is fun if you are playing one player. Playing two players with your friends sucks vecause they keep constantly killing you by "accident"
I played this and dominated the HELL out of it back in the day!!!!
What is the console used to play on?
Lord Karnage, you never get the right system, keep trying.
it may have worked better, if the bugs were attacking you somehow..instead of just walking away like that.
This game looks great.
Will you do Alien: Isolation?
More Atari reviews
Mark, I hope that you playe truxton after this... every time you play a bad game... you must play truxton c:
Reupload from 2014, alas!
The universe of zarganark!
I actually kind of like this game... :/
I laught my ass of when he put this game on the atari jaguar,well anyway i can imagine if he is a huge atari 2600 and sega genesis fan,but offcourse those were the best day's.
Ok, who still thinks E.T. is the worst game ever after seeing this?
Worst is relative to hype actually. It is epic in its fail level and iconic of when the videogame industry goes wrong by trying to do things connected with movies. Hmm... I am now recalling the modern AAA side of things.
E.T. is a work of genius given Howard has 5 weeks from start to shelves ..
I want a 3DO week
I hope I did not waste my money at $2. :-)

Well I wasted a dollar
Yawnsville, Daddy-O!
under 301! do i get a cookie? :3
Sorry, I have no cookies :(
Jonas Hoekstra :( ok
EDF!
It looks like crap, they should have made the game into an asteroids type of game.
so does sony pay you to review all the indie games or wot? Jesus...
One of your changes needed to be to review everything retro. Modern is shit.
If this is not shit then I don't know what is...
