Bee Trouble!

Bee Trouble! is an interactive action game developed by Taito, published and also developed by Iceboys12co., and was released in 1993 for the Arcade, LaserActive, and Super Nintendo BTS. Like Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, Time Gal, and Ninja Hayate, it is an action game that uses full motion video (FMV) to display the on-screen action, where the player must correctly choose the on-screen actions to progress the story. This game is the first in the Bee Trouble franchise.
Like above, it was inspired by laserdisc games, like Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, Time Gal, and Ninja Hayate. And Like Time Gal, the animations were produced by Toei Animation.
== Story: ==
The game is set during the normal present day where the giant bee hive is peaceful and working in harmony with The Queen Bee ruling the hive. But suddenly, the evil Emperor Zarx and his army of darker-colored and evil-looking mutant-like flies known simply as the dark flies(black flies in the Japanese version) come to invade the bee hive and even kidnap the queen and a couple of the hive's inhabitants as a ransom for all their honey! Tommy Bee, one of The Queen Bee's happy-go-lucky subjects, catches wind of what happened, and decides that the only way to get her back is to bravely go outside the hive, fly around the neighborhood and the city to get into the dark flies' lair and fight off and/or escape them and their apparent technology and other obstacles, get the stolen honey and rescue the queen and his fellow bees!
== Gameplay: ==
This is the game inspired by games like Dragon's Lair, Space Ace, Time Gal, and Ninja Hayate. The player must help Tommy Bee get to the end of the level by pressing the correct on-screen actions using the d-pads and the action button which Tommy usually uses his stinger or his spray gun that can kill dark flies and get rid of vines capturing bees. Pressing the wrong button or didn't press the right one in time will result in death scenes where Tommy gets seriously hurt and lose a life. There are some optional captured bees around the level, and saving at least one of them gives you extra points in your score. Every 100,000 score earns you an extra life and your scores will be on the scoreboard if you got high enough scores before ending the game. There are a total of 10 levels, each has a different theme. Level 1 is outside the hive and the normal neighborhood, Level 2 is inside a house and occasionally outside of it, Level 3 is in a barn, Level 4 is in a jungle, Level 5 and 6 is in a city, Level 7 and 8 is the road straight to outside the dark flies lair, and the last two levels, Level 9 and 10, is inside the dark flies lair for Tommy to face off the emperor and leader of the dark flies, Emperor Zarx.
