III. Game play

When you're bugged by bugs you call an exterminator. But what do you do when
Ronnie the Super Rat (a has-been lab rat mutated by research experiments)
decides to some of his own experiments in pest control.

From his headquarters bases on the dark side of the Moon, Ronnie is radiating
the Earth with his powerful PEST BEAM. The PEST BEAM is making the bugs of
the Earth go buggy. When roaches and rodents run rampant there is only one man
for the job. World leaders cried out for Kernel Kleanup, the Western
Exterminator.

As Kernel Kleanup, you will start off with 5 lives and 5 energy hearts.
Whenever you are bitten by pests you lose one heart, and when you lose all 5
hearts you lose one Kernel Kleanup. Extra hearts are hidden in different
places in the game. With your trusty hammer it's your job to bash all the bugs
on the level. When all the bugs are killed you will advance to the next level.
On the 8th level you will reach the moon and there you will face the powerful
and intelligent Ronnie the Super Rat.

IV. Levels

IT'S NOT JUST AN ADVENTURE, IT'S YOUR JOB.

Level One: House Cleaning.
It will take lots of bug bashing, but if you can keep from getting pest-off
you will be able to make this house a home.

Level Two: Hotel Eradication.
What was once a resort to enjoy has become a haven for pesky pests of every
kind.

Level Three: Warehouse Fumigation.
This warehouse is loaded with nasties from wasps and roaches to big mouth
beetles. The fruit flies are tiny and hard to see, but they, like the rest,
are in for a pounding.

Level Four: Mansion Mayhem.
Bugs, bugs, and more bugs, from the green house to the basement, from the
kitchen to the garage, they're everywhere.

Level Five: Swamp Gas Cleanup
You take to the skies in your chopper and eradicate flying bugs of every
description. Fleas and gnats, mosquitoes, and flies, they don't stand a
chance.

Level Six: Warehouse Blow Out.
The abandoned warehouse was once one of the busiest in the nation. Now it's
being used as a base of operations for the pesty takeover.

Level Seven: Deep Sea Danger.
You take to the deep blue and see what you can do about the giant squids and
red mutant smell fish, but be careful about the sharks.

Level Eight: The Final Conflict.
This is it - the final conflict between you and Ronnie the Super Rat himself!
Do you have what it takes to shut down his powerful Pest Beam? The world is
depending on you!
