Geocache Description:

Lady Bug was an insect-themed maze chase arcade game produced by Universal Entertainment Corporation and released in 1981. Its gameplay was similar to Pac-Man, with the primary addition to the formula being gates that change the layout of the maze when used.

So go find her before she flies away home..


The arcade original was relatively obscure, but the game found wider recognition and success as a launch title for the ColecoVision console.

The goal of Lady Bug was to eat all "flowers", hearts and letters in the maze while avoiding other insects. The player was represented by a red, yellow, and green character resembling a ladybug while the enemy insects' appearance varies by level. The border of the maze acted as timer, with each circuit signaling the release of an enemy insect from the central area, up to (generally) a maximum of four. The speed of the circuit increased on stages 2 and 5.

There were eight different enemy insects — a different insect was introduced on each of the first eight levels. Beginning on level 9, each level had four different enemies.
