Overview
is a fast-paced arcade game in which you try to solve the Y2K crisis.
In depth
You control the arrow in the gray cubicle. Colored millennium bugs with "00" on their chests attack from all sides. Your job is to change their two digit date (00) into a four digit date (2000) by hitting them with the arrow. You do this by using the arrow keys to align the arrow in the direction of the bug, and then hitting the space bar. This causes the arrow to slide in the direction it points.
If you hit a bug that is the same color as your arrow, then you have fixed the bug. If you hit a bug of a different color, the arrow and the bug swap colors.
If a bug enters the cubicle, it escapes. The game starts in January 1999 and ends in January 2000 (once all bugs have either escaped or been fixed), or once you let 10 bugs escape, whichever occurs first. As the months progress, the bugs appear on the screen faster.
Millenium Bugs features three levels of difficulty, sound effects, high scores, and more.
