Yeah that's the one. I was googling and found the answer to my question about Flashback's prequel about 10 seconds after I posted.

If I'd google'd less and posted earlier I might have beaten you. Oh well ... that's what I get for having a hazy memory I suppose.

No not centipede - we're talking 90's here, not so long ago

The insects and bugs were large and well drawn, you could play it two player, but the second players insect was smaller.

It had tough compitition but was definately in the top three for shooters at the time(i liked it best but the other two sold more copies).

What's the platform for the new game?

[child of Thor]

Platform was 90's 16bits, it may have got a PC release. I have to go in 10 mins and won't be back untill late tomorrow. Maybe i'll let people guess alot and the first one who posts wins?

Another hint the graphics really took you into the insect world, blades of grass, flowers all to believable scale. Excellent sounds - huge poping explosions as you wasted all on the screen.

Me too... but still interesting to see how people can describe a game, with as few words as possible

[child of Thor]

Ok still unresolved so i'll say i played the amiga version.

[DrSpike]

When you said 16 bit I thought you meant it was a console game, so I didn't think about it much.

But now I know the platform is the Amiga.........it's Apidya, just one of many classic team17 games.

APHIDIA !

You were a bee?

I'm sure my spelling is correct.

[Jamski]

And I'm sure mine is

/me lowers his horns to charge

-Jam

[child of Thor]

Apidya- Correct! I guess Dr.Spike is the winner!

Yeah a bee or a wasp. It was a very hard game - don't think i got past level 2 or 3. But it was very captivating - the graphics were really well done, it always seemed like i was learning natural history while blasting all the ladybirds,butterflies and bugs!

/me is smug in WoA's general direction.

New game: Played on the Sega Saturn, this game was an innovative 3D shooter, which features 360 degree views and shooting possibilities.
