5150: BUGS - BREAKOUT
 |
Don't Call Them Bugs!
"Listen up newbie! I know what you unwarranted high regard for yourself recruits call our enemy - Bugs. A bug is something very small you see crawling on the ground. Something insignificant that you step on and keep doing whatever you're doing. I got news for you. That's not what these things¸ these Bugs¸ are. We're going down into the Tunnels looking for real Bugs. When you meet one face to face¸ try not to wet yourself¸ and pray to whatever god you believe in that you get out alive. Because to them; we're the insignificant ones.”
5150: Bugs - Breakout is the third of three books linked together to cover the Bug infestation that threatens the 5150 Universe. All three are stand-alone games. In fact¸ 5150: Bugs -Into the Tunnels can be used with all of our other 5150 titles.
