THE GAME Boris Bee from Birkenhead, whilst out collecting honey one day, discovered a field of amazing flowers with more nectar than he had ever seen before. After deciding that this was an opportunity not to BEE missed, he dragged his hive to the field and placed it in a strategic position. One MINER problem, however, was that the birds in the neighbourhood weren't too friendly, and didn't approve of intruders in their territory especially bees. You control Boris in his quest for nectar. Can you avoid the birds, the vicious plants, and the centipedes? Imagine Boris's surprise when a bear appears, heading straight towards the hive containing all Boris's lovely honey- make sure he doesn't reach the hive! As Boris collects more nectar, the birds become more unsociable, and after a while the wasps appear on the scene, hell bent on bullying poor Boris to death. With all this going on, poor old Boris doesn't stand much of a chance, or does he?!! GAME CONTROLS To move Boris: I - Moves left Q - Moves up P - Moves right Z - Moves down. Other Keys: B to SPACE - Drop any nectar Boris may be carrying. H - Hold S - Start game after hold BREAK-Abort gome. Boris can only carry a certain amount of nectar, so he must go back to the hive to unload it regularly. Also the more nectar he is carrying, the slower he flies.
