Bugs? Oh, no, you want Starship Troopers. That's the game two doors down the hall and to the right. This is SMAC. We do have a lovely selection of worms and glow mites, though.

Couldn't resist to post that post.
That is not my opinion indeed,
'twas the devil in me,
just wanted to have fun.
Got inspired by all the complaining about bugs, that's what I intended, but hey Pyramider, you sould take seriously becoming a shrink: you revealed something that was in my mind I wasn't aware of!!!
And about 'What?':
cPost++ means the main point of the post is to increase my post count.
And the punchline, well, take a seat:
The Flintstones got someday here in Italy too.
I don't know if we here retained the same character names, coz the toons bosses often pitifully adapt them to our market standard (i.e. low-level) expectations.
The main character here we name him Fred, do you too?
His wife here we name her Wilma, that may be more likely to be different.
(the other twos are Barney & Betty, but that's unrelated)
The line reverse-engineered to english should read: "Wilma, gimme the club!"
That was used once in my youth days in a pest killer TV commercial (can't recall if it was called Raid or Bygone or whatever).
Here, I explained the pun, so I surely spoiled it.
As for Heinlein's novel, I vaguely recall I read it, around about the days I said b4. That was used also as title for a piece of music from 'Yes', one of my fetish groups (the others being Gong and Van der Graaf Generator). Didn't bother to see the movie actually. Did a PC game come out on it yet?

MoSe,
Starship Troopers is not what I would qualify as a great movie, although it has some cool special effects. I think the only thing that can be said for the actors "playing" (if I dare use the word - that's how bad they are) is that they are good-looking.
But if you can watch that while taking a step back and look at it "au deuxi�me degr�" (ie. try to see how satiric it really is), you may find it quite fun actually.
The sequence when that mom is all excited when she watches her kids stomping on a few crawling insects made me ROTFL.
I'm not aware of a computer game made out of it, but it's gotta suck (I can assure you, it's not going to be a stratregy game )

You're gonna get a nice syntax error from your compiler if you try that one...
#include <stdio.h>
#include <forum.h> // for the definition of cPost...
int main (void)
{
printf("Wilma, dammi la clava!!!\n");
cPost++; // I incremented my post too
return 0;
}
