PUBLISHER :
PROGRAMMERS
AUTHORS :
John Marshall
TYPE : Mad game
RELEASE DATE : 1984
PLATFORM :     
CATEGORY : Others
SECOND CATEGORY : Game (Software House)
ORIGIN : err 
NOTES : Although the game was ready for release by Tansoft in 1984 and the copyright of the program gives that date, it was not released. In 1993, the author gave the rights for distribution to Mirage (Oric User Monthly's software house).

NEWS: unlike what was stated, the game was apparently released indeed, but sold poorly before Tansoft closed down. So Mirage/OUM released it in 1990 for its subscribers. (source: Oric User Monthly, number 91, March 1995).

So far, every TAP version I've seen of Insect Insanity includes the original Tansoft publisher info. Just wondered if anyone still has the Mirage-updated version as we definitely swapped that stuff over?

Addictive fun!

Brilliant to see the original inlay, by the way - I hadn't seen that before.
ROB COOK14:12 26-December-2013
The alternative (text-based) inlay image is not the one done by Paul. There were probably less than 25 copies sent out with that inlay, because I think it was changed soon afterwards (by Dave?), possibly to the text inlay image I'm referring to.

I just had another crack at this - scored 13,300 on level 3. An insanely difficult game :/
OMELETTE14:12 19-December-2013
Weeeeee, another high-score - 190,900 Add to that, I finally managed to 'clock' the levels - L1 -> L0 (which comes after L9) -> L0 (L0 -> L1... -> L0). This was achieved on a real Oric Atmos, not an emulator (so no cheating!)
OMELETTE12:12 15-December-2013
I've been honing my Insect Insanity skills again and managed a new high-score - 177,100
OMELETTE03:04 05-April-2010
Insect Insanity-fans out there may feel motivated to try and beat my highest-ever score - 174,650.

Definitely my favourite Oric game. Superb!!!
ROB COOK00:05 10-May-2005
Oh yeah, there's actually another inlay for this - done by Paul Moxon, with a kinda kamikazi (spelling?) evil insect. Wonder where that is...

Highly addictive, brilliant game. Actually written in text mode! Getting this released was probably my biggest achievement! Certainly the most satisfying even if it felt like it would never actually come off.
