Bug Out!

[remember]

Parker Brothers made a great game: it was a square cage with four windows on each side and a hole on top, through which a plastic bug was dropped (each player would take turns, dropping a bug in, shouting "BUG IN!"). Each (maximum four) player was armed with a long plastic hook and would put their hooks through their respective windows and fight to hook the bug and pull it out first. Whoever was successful, shouted, "BUG OUT!" This was great fun in our family - we fought hard and once even broke the plastic bug! Mum had to write to Parker Bros to get a new one!
