Battle Bugs

Battle Bugs is a quirky real-time strategy game developed by Epyx and released for MS-DOS in 1994. Set entirely on everyday household battlegrounds like kitchen floors, picnic blankets, and backyard patios, the game pits teams of cartoon-style insects against each other in tactical, objective-based combat.

Players command a squad of bugs—each with unique strengths and abilities—to capture flags, control food items, and outmaneuver enemy forces in fast-paced, small-scale warfare. With its clever premise, humorous presentation, and surprisingly deep strategy, Battle Bugs stands out as one of the most inventive and charming strategy titles of the DOS era.
