Item Description

A blade of grass towers overhead, a fallen leaf becomes a bridge, and the only weapon within reach is a handful of berries: A Bug's Life on the Nintendo 64 drops you into Pixar's 1998 film at ant's-eye level. You play Flik, the well-meaning inventor whose mishaps set the movie's story in motion, and the game follows his effort to protect Ant Island from Hopper and his grasshopper gang.

Traveller's Tales, years before the studio became famous for its LEGO games, built the adventure as a 3D platformer spread across five lands of three levels each, with every level ending in an exit to find, a goal to complete or a boss to topple. Flik fights back by throwing berries, starting with weak red ones and powering up to stronger varieties, with gold berries able to take enemies out for good. Brown seeds are the clever part: plant one and it sprouts into something useful, whether that means a boost to a high ledge, a health refill, a shield or a launch into the air. Gathering 50 grains restores Flik's health, spelling out F-L-I-K earns an extra life, and floating telescopes point out hidden items and the way to the exit.

Honesty matters here: the N64 version was not a critical darling, and reviewers at the time faulted its sluggish controls and stuttering frame rate. What it does have is the film's bright, cheerful look, which even its critics singled out, along with a simple structure aimed squarely at younger players and the unmistakable flavor of the late-'90s moment when every big animated release got its own 3D adventure. Published on the N64 by Activision in 1999, it's a snapshot of Pixar's second feature film and a fun, kitschy piece of licensed-game history to sit beside the console's other movie tie-ins.

About the game

A Bug's Life is a video game based on the Disney/Pixar film of the same name. It was released for various systems in 1998 and in 1999. The game's storyline is similar to that of the movie, with a few changes. After completing levels the player can unlock real clips from the movie. Its Game.com, Sega Saturn, and Dreamcast versions were cancelled. Though the film was Roddy McDowall's final theatrical performance, the game was his final work before his death.
