Arcade Game: Ladybug 400,000+

[@PatriciaCross]

Easily the best Pac Man clone ever produced. Hard to even consider it a clone, it adds things into the mix that make this a completely different game. Ms Pac Man was the first arcade game I played as a kid (7 years) and I was hooked. I still love it, and the entire Pac Man franchise. I had Pac Man everything. Every week my mom would take me to the Mac's convenience on the corner and give me a dollar and I'd play Ms Pac Man. I got really good. She even got me the Coleco tabletop arcade Pac Man, and I was rolling over the score in that game pretty fast. My mom discovered an arcade just a few blocks further, and they had Ladybug. I had a new addiction. But even though I was good at Ms Pac Man, I completely misunderstood Ladybug. I didn't really understand that until KZbin. I played it like Pac Man...and it is really a complicated game of laying traps and manipulation. And I think a lot of people also misunderstood it. It deserved to be one of those games that was an arcade staple well into the 90s. And I think the team on Super Pac Man misunderstood it as well, because that plays like a challenge to a poorly understood Ladybug.

That's not a clone at all. Clone is a blatant copy; this is an original game. The only similarity is that both are maze games and the player controls a character who eats something. All the rest is different, therefore it doesn't qualify as clone.

There was a convenience store close to my house back in the late 80s that served Chinese/Vietnamese food, south Beaumont Tx. I would get sent there all the time by my mom with food stamps to get her a hershey bar ,funyuns, and DR Pepper. She would almost always let me keep the change, as long as I spent some of it to buy her cigarettes and a newspaper. Sometimes they would just give me full change in real cash, lol. I think they knew if they did that it would save them the trouble of me doing the stamp/change hustle. They had this game, Pacman, Tron, Joust, BumpNJump, Spy Hunter, etc. But I always liked this one best for some reason. God I sucked at it, but it kept me inside off the streets and entertained in the AC on them brutal Texas summer days.

[@julianfogarty2243]

I remember playing this on a late night ferry crossing to the Isle of Wight in 1982.

[@baronderochemont8556]

I play LadyBug a lot, usually around 20 times every night, and I wouldn't do most of your moves. But since I only got to score 190,000 and you over 400,000 I guess I should watch and learn. Very good playing strategy.

[@ffllk1]

I had been working on it for months.and my eyes was bloodshot.

[@CRBarchager]

I played this game for hours in the arcade back in the 80'es. Now I play it from time to time on MAME. Still alot of fun.

[@ffllk1]

This is a really nerve-wracking game to play..

[@yaywhewclips242]

This game is awesome. There was a local laudromat that had this game there in the 1990's. Just stopped there for the game! :>)

[@TheDeathWillCome2012]

It would be nice if Arcade 1up release a Cabinet of this!

[@YoloYester94]

9:20 hold up, that’s on beat. Legendary gameplay.

[@ahmedsyed3436]

This (Ladybug) was my favorite arcade game.

[@superlight0702]

It is a good arcade game even if I look now. It is a good thing to try vegetables every time.

[@TheGemini5]

Yup, after watching you play this, I've become my mother by screaming every time they got close to you! She used to do that when I was playing in the arcade way back then LOL!!

[@kimjongun2946]

We have a LadyBug cabaret here in the cabin, and Todd's got a score going

[@geawelli04]

Wow, I've just started playing this, very addictive and you have great skills, ty

[@ffllk1]

thanks for watching :)

[@agnaldooliveira3050]

Como vc baixou o jogo?

[@cal1103]

My best score was 365,000 back in the 80s. I now have this game on table top but a lot harder to control :)

[@The1SilverShadow]

seriously you must have the best joystick in the whole world..the amount of 10ps this game had swallowed just to get an "EXTRA guy" let alone going for that middle fruit all the time..man you goood

[@The1SilverShadow]

@@ffllk1 well put it this way, I'm pretty sure no one's going to take your skill on this game..I have never seen it played this well in my life..

[@tsalvlaxitov9594]

The soundtrack to this game is amazing.

[@DamonMacready]

Excellent play, my friend!

[@freedomofchoicelover3734]

How do you get the red letter SPECIAL our and then what happens?

[@lucianlandry8332]

From the Wikipedia article, you get a free game credit. From kzbin.info/www/bejne/jmHLkItqrNGWrMU ... you also get a little chapel scene and skip to the end of the level. Neither are desirable here (points-wise) so I can see why the player skips it. In the ColecoVision version if you complete "SPECIAL" you're transported to a bonus "vegetable harvest" bonus level where you try to eat veggies in the maze before a timer runs out.

[@freedomofchoicelover3734]

@@lucianlandry8332 Thank you for your response, so i realised once i got the word out, it was a waste of time on a machine i have at home on free credits..lol....however i noticed if I dont chase the SPECIAL...the game tends to hold back on a yellow letter i need to complete for an extra ladybug.

[@robertpasquini4097]

I played all day in the early eighties. Got to where I could play all afternoon on one quarter.

[@emerald1031]

they have an arcade machine in the breakroom at my job with this game on it- im both obsessed and stressed out. i didnt even know the letters and hearts did anything 😂😂

[@brandonfarrar3475]

8:05 That movement of the skeleton ladybug used to creep me out as a little kid.

[@pysankar]

That's meant to represent an angel with a halo and wings.

[@alexanderteuman7273]

This is a real perfect gamer, i saw this man in my second home, the Spielothek, Kurfürstendamm in the Eighties.

[@ffllk1]

I also had a hard time controlling :) From level 17 or higher, hero die very easily with a short moment delay. It would be great play if one can withstand more than 4 levels at high levels with one bug,

[@georgeshelton6281]

Ah yeah it's about time, someone makes some smart moves.

[@BroqHans]

Thanks for uploading. Your gatekeeping is really weird compared to my 'system'. Anyway, great score! I have made 438,940 on level 21. From Red Pepper onwards luck plays a certain part, I think. I try to point press as much as possible getting at least 20K in each round.

[@007Thanos007]

Personally, between my generally good ability to play maze games, and the EXTRA and SPECIAL options, I could make an entire day out of putting a single quarter into a Ladybug machine.

[@giovanni_7191]

No, you wouldn't, because if you started a new game using the credit you had won by "special", you would never be able to complete "special" again. The random generator would never allow the last remaining letter to be in the 3. In the cabinet I played there was also another one: if you lost a life in stage 1, you would never complete "Extra".

[@007Thanos007]

@@giovanni_7191 While it has been *literally* almost 40 years since I played Ladybug, I don't remember running into either of those problems at the laundromat where I played the game just to get out of my stepmother's hair as she washed the clothes.

[@007Thanos007]

But I don't understand is, why this guy kept repeatedly passing up the opportunity to get a yellow T, and get himself an extra man, in the later stages!

[@CubeClarityGaming]

WHERE CAN I PLAY THIS??

[@howardsend6589]

Great game.

[@ivonne1046]

Cómo descargar este juego en Playstore??????

[@alexanderteuman7273]

It is so unfair, i want in the 80's a Olympic games of the best 10 games video players, or 20 best video players.

[@burracampanicabandolaguaya8181]

About 10 years ago I saw a player that recoreded over 1000000 score(perhaps about 1300000...).Unfortunately, the game can not leave more than 1000000 score so cleared rounds will should have been recorded.Maybe you know cleared rounds counted stop at 99.Good luck!

[@somboonsaetia9559]

Classic original game

[@alquintic]

CAn you please tell me how to download this game on your pc ?

[@karinamauritia9466]

[@negotkazu4655]

I played this better than Pac-Man, which was popular around the same time. 僕は同じ頃に流行ったパックマンよりもこちらの方を良く遊びました。

[@alexanderteuman7273]

Part 15 and 250 000 points i dont believe that, i saw unbelieveble in my arcarde halls, yep.

[@AngeIDynamite]

This game was so much fun but so damn noisy!

[@user-ve4ij8fl2m]

learned a lot from this. thanks

[@rygarchamp]

It's possible to get to level 20 even with a broken joystick and superfast bugs.

[@oomsjonleertneefjeschaken4238]

Well done

[@JasonChanMarioKartProPlayer]

The enemies are too fast in later levels!

[@engenhariacivil6714]

joga muito,mas poderia ter protegido mais as caveiras e pegar mais frutas ,faria muito mais pontos

[@AntonioSantana-mv8rl]

Bem esse lady bug não parece ser o original do arcade de 1981 digo isso por que o jogo já chegou na fruta infinita que é o rabanete e os insectos ainda estão muito lentos sendo que ja na tela da fruta da pimenta eles já correm 4 vezes mais do que estão correndo🤔🤔🤔

Do you think mobile touch control can handle this game?

Release it for the Nintendo Switch instead. It would be perfect! 👍🏻❤️
