Beavis and Butt-head are playing tennis but it's tennis with a difference. This is probably my favourite game of the seven. The bugs are nicely animated and the magnifying glass responds well to the mouse's movements. The game calls for some nifty mouse moving and frantic mouse clicking (for some reason, the sun only shines when you click the left hand mouse button) and is actually quite good fun. When all the candies are gone, the game is over. Further stomps can be gained by torching certain bugs. In extremis, clicking the right mouse button will cause Beavis to stamp his foot, temporarily stunning the insects and providing an easier target. Guard your candies successfully for long enough and your sweet supplies will be replenished.

You must use the mouse to move your trusty magnifying glass over the offending insects and fry them with the Sun's rays. And what games they are! Bug JusticeД«eavis and Butt-head have carelessly dropped their candies on the sidewalk (see? I can speak American with the best of them) and bugs are running off with them.

Following this, there are a couple of pages of copyright and disclaimer (the 'don't try this at home kids' page may be the best thing about the whole package featuring as it does a mean spot of banjo playing) and then it's straight into the games. Fortunately, a quick prod of the escape key solves the problem. Amusing the first time, these soon grow far too familiar. The games all share an opening sequence, a MTV logo type thing followed by a Viacom logo while someone wails something about 'the almighty buttholio(?)'. You have to run each game separately from Windows. Somewhat surprisingly, there is no facility to run a front end and select the game of your choice from within it. PresentationД«eavis and Butt-head in Little ThingiesВ runs under windows95 in 256 colour mode.

Still flexibility is the mark of the reviewer of today so with snigger on lip, let me lead you through the cornucopia of delights that is Beavis and Butt-head in Little Thingies.

As far as I can make out, Beavis and Butt-head in Little ThingiesВ is aimed at teenage Beavis and Butt-head fans so I am somewhat at a loss as to why the mighty Games Domain review allocating computer which decides who gets to review what and writes half the reviews in its spare time sent this game to me, someone who left behind his teenage years some time ago and who watched five minutes of Beavis and Butt-head when they first appeared on British TV and decided that they were a bit too puerile for even his jaded tastes. Beavis and Butt-head in Little ThingiesВ consists of 7 'mini games' four from the previous Beavis and Butt-head hit, Virtual StupidityВ and three specially written for this release. Then they catch you playing Beavis and Butt-head in Little ThingiesВ and all that hard work is undone at a blow. For instance strategy games improve planning and forward thinking and flight sims improve hand/eye coordination. I dunno, you spend years persuading your other half that far from being an adolescent waste of time, computer games can actually improve the mind and body.
