About this game

Bug Eyes is a platform game published by Icon in 1985 for the BBC Microcomputer System and ZX Spectrum. You play as Agent Starman, attempting to prevent the bug-eyed Xabanneus alien hordes from destroying civilization and taking over the galaxy.

To complete the mission, penetrate the ten levels of the mothership and destroy its power generator. Your oxygen supply is represented by the energy bar at the top of the screen, while an alien repulsion mechanism may activate during dangerous situations.
