Well, I just completed it, having been atempting to since the age of 7 (not solidly) without cheats or help, and my god was it worth it! Brilliant game, brilliant concept, not so brilliant music, but unforgetable sfx. Buy it now if its still available.Am just starting on trying to complete BH2 but am finding it rather hard. Also, if anybodys interested, I have made a little anim. of BH walking about, you can take a look here. |

Congratulations! I always wondered if anyone ever completed it. You figured out the red flashing arrow then? : ) Its years since I wrote those games but now and again I google 'bug hunter' and I'm always pleasantly surprised when people are still discussing them. Let me know if you want any clues for BH In Space! |

From TIB…Minerva Software still own the copyright so I have tracked down their email address and sent off an email asking if they object to free downloads ... I'll let you know what they say ... It was a great game. It would be cool if they were released as freeware, so more people have a chance to see how good Acorn gaming was in the early 90s! PS: I was stuck inside the factory for ages! |

It's a long time since I've played that... I think I got most of the way (maybe just one or two levels from the end), but for the life of me I can't remember a thing about the one I was stuck on now. |

Any news from Minerva? Loved BugHunter in Space - got stuck on the penultimate level (the invisible one...) Unfortunately never had the original :-(. Best wishes, Drew |

I've just downloaded BugHunter 2 and started playing it but I really don't know what to do! I'm on the first level and I assume I have to do something with them levers. There isn't a ReadMe so I've had to work out the controls myself. Can someone help? |

If you press 'I' during the intro sequence (when the scrolling message appears) then you get some instructions. Basically: Z - left X - right Shift - Jump/Pick Up/Drop Return - Use K - give up (lose a life) |

I didn't do any other games for Minerva, and they didn't generally publish many games - mostly they did applications and stuff. |
