ABSTRACT

Although best known for Castle Wolfenstein and RobotWar, Muse also published action games such as ABM (similar to Missile Command), Frazzle (similar to Asteroids but with a spatial twist), and Firebug (a reverse Pac-Man where the player is destroying the maze of a building instead of avoiding ghosts). Firebug was later changed to Firefly because the publisher didn’t want to

be accused of promoting arson. Perhaps the most interesting thing about Firebug was its delightful pun whenever one lost the game. The screen would go dark and then display, “You made an ash of yourself !” Talk about adding insult to injury!
