History VideoGame / LadyBug

* PragmaticAdaptation: The UsefulNotes/ColecoVision version replaced the arcade original's free game credit from spelling S-P-E-C-I-A-L with a BonusStage, since the home version didn't require quarters to play it.

This game was adapted by Coleco for the UsefulNotes/{{Intellivision}} and UsefulNotes/ColecoVision, and by Creator/ChampGames for the UsefulNotes/{{Atari 2600}} as a homebrew game in two editions, an easier home version and an arcade edition.

* CoversAlwaysLie: There are, in fact, no attractive insect-girls in this game. On a ''completely'' unrelated note, it only did "all right" in arcades. Just saying.

''Lady Bug'' is a 1980's video game in which you go through a maze eating dots and other things while avoiding four enemies which emerge from a box in the middle. In other words, it's practically ''VideoGame/PacMan'', except by Universal instead of Namco.

Has nothing to do with [[Anime/{{Ladybug}} the anime of the same name]].

''Lady Bug'' has a few differences from ''Pac-Man'', though. The characters are all insects. The bonus items are vegetables rather than fruits. The maze has no WrapAround passages. And most significantly, there is no PowerUp that lets you eat the enemies; instead, the maze has turnstiles which can be flipped to block the movement of the predatory insects.
