FWIW, I found an old crack of Tumble Bugs I had done way back when, and have uploaded it to Asimov for preservation. Why? Well, it's 'Tumble Bugs', not 'Dung Beetles', it's a small file version, the original title screen is intact and untouched, and there's no crack screen on it. IIRC, the 'Dung Beetles' version either lacks the title screen, or has been modified (plus the name is different). It's nice game from Bob Bishop.
Anyway, as I continue to rummage through stuff, I thought it might be of interest. The title screen is fun at least.
If nothing else, perhaps the folks attending K-Fest can vie for high score this weekend...

Wow, that is a real find! Thanks for taking the time to go through your old disks.

Nice work.
On a related note, amongst my games that I'm looking at deprotecting if I can, I have Magneto Bugs, the (European?) release of Tumble Bugs.

Unfortunately I didn't, but this nudge could help :)

I bathed in the afterglow of doing Genesis, but I haven't continued along the deprotecting path yet. Life's been pretty hectic. A sign of this is that I haven't listened to the last 2 Open Apple podcasts yet, when prior to that I was on top of them all. But I'll get there.
