You will see HAPPY faces for your bugs when you play correctly. You will see SAD
faces for your bugs if you do not complete the PLAY activities correctly.
DOCTOR ( )
If your bug is sick, you take them to the doctor. For all bugs other than Hopper, the
doctor is Doctor Flora from the Ant Island who takes their temperature. For Hopper,
the doctor is Molt (who is a very stupid grasshopper!) who takes a water dropper
and squirts a drop of water from the dropper on Hopper’s head, getting him all
wet.
CLEAN ( )
You will randomly see two different cleaning activities when you press this activity.
You will either see drops of water dripping from a leaf, which cleans your bug or
your bug will dive into a pool for a wonderful bath!
TRAIN ( )
There are five training activities for each bug. You can train your bugs to do TRICKS
by giving them the right REWARD!

SCORE ( )
Choose this icon to check on the progress (for example, weight, health, and happiness)
of your bug. Use the LEFT/RIGHT keys to display screens showing NAME,
TOTAL SCORE ( ), AGE ( ), WEIGHT ( ), HEALTH ( ), HAPPINESS ( ),
HUNGER ( ), and DISCIPLINE( ).
HEALTH ( )
Health score increased by feeding your Bug healthy food, playing, and keeping them
clean. Health ranges from 0 to 100 – a percentage — and the game begins with a
health of 80. Health cannot go over 100, and excess points are lost.
HAPPINESS ( )
Happiness increases by feeding your bugs treats, playing, and getting it enough
sleep. Happiness ranges from 0 to 100 – a percentage — and the game begins with
a happiness of 80. Happiness cannot go over 100, and excess points are lost.
HUNGER ( )
Hunger ranges from 0 (empty stomach) to 100 (full stomach). Each time you feed
your bug, it will be a little more full. During the day, the bugs get hungrier and
hungrier.
DISCIPLINE
Discipline ranges from 0 (bad) to 100 (well behaved).
ALERT ( )
When this icon lights up, it means your bug needs something. Use the SCORE ( )
screens to try to figure out what your animal needs. Try selecting a different activity
until you figure out what he needs!
SECRET CODES!
The game has certain secret codes that can be used to “unlock” features of the
game. Codes are entered on the name screen. If the player enters a name for his
bug that matches the code, some feature is “unlocked”. The player can then change
the name freely. Once the feature is unlocked, it stays unlocked until the player
locks it again (by enter the code a second time) or when the game is reset by the
RESET button.
Here’s how to do it:
1) Select the SCORE ( ) activity.
2) Move to the NAME screen, and press ENTER.
3) Your name will disappear, and you can enter the code here.
4) Select the correct letters in the code just like setting the name.
5) When the code is spelled out correctly, press ENTER twice.
Check the Tiger website for clues on the secret codes!
ACTIVATING A NEW BUG
The characters “
Flik
,
Princess Atta
,
Princess Dot
, and
Hopper
” are the original
available bugs (Normal Bugs). You may only activate one of them at the start of
game and the other three Bugs will become Age Bonus Bugs.
They can be unlocked by the Total Age of all “alive bugs”.
If you are doing well, you can take care of more than one Normal bug at a time!
When total age of “alive bug(s)” reaches AGE 5, you have shown that you are
responsible enough to have another bug(First, Age Bonus Bug).
If you have “alive bugs” with a combined age of 10 or more, you can have a one
more Age Bonus bug.
And if you have “alive bugs” with a combined age of 20 or more, you can actually
add a final Age Bonus bug!
Here’s how to activate another bug when you have earned it:
1) Press MODE to enter CLOCK MODE.
2) Press MODE again. If you have earned another bug, the face of another of the
bug’s will appear. If you have not yet earned another bug, you will return to the
game mode.
3) Press LEFT and RIGHT to select which of the bugs you want and press ENTER.
Your new bug will come to life, ready to play!
When you have more than one bug, you must switch between them to take care
of them.
Here’s how:
1) Press MODE to enter CLOCK MODE.
2) Press MODE again and then press LEFT or RIGHT until you see the face of the bug
you wish to activate, and press ENTER. (If you only have one bug, pressing MODE
will only return you to Game Mode.)
3) The new bug will activate in Game Mode.
In addition, the characters
Dim
and
Francis
are the Hidden Bugs,
Dim
can be
unlocked if you have any other character with a TOTAL SCORE of 90 points. So he
is an “earned” character, too — but in a different way.
Francis
can be unlocked by entering code word “BUGS”in NAME MODE.
To choose a new bug, press MODE twice to enter the SELECT CHARACTER MODE.
Press LEFT/RIGHT to cycle through various faces of each bug.
Press ENTER to choose that bug and bring it to “life”.
GAME OVER
When your bug reaches age 14, it will normally fly away and will not be seen again
until you reset the unit. However, if you keep your bug very healthy (HEALTH OVER
95), it will stay functioning.
As long as you keep the HEALTH icon at 95 or above, your bug will grow older and
older.
RESTARTING THE GAME
If you just wish to start over from the beginning, press the RESET button located on
the back of your game. You can also use the RESET button to reset the unit if there
is a problem, but this will reset the game memory, so you will lose any bugs you have.
