I'm glad you called me. No room for amateurs in this game. 

Nor any time for Arachnophobia when confronted by an army of vicious, venomous spiders. The town's new GP, Jeff Daniels, and professional bug-squisher, John Goodman, are Canaima's best hope of survival as we tip-toe through Disney's dark, comedy horror movie.

BlueSky Software, a year later in 1991, hatched the inevitable accompanying video game for the Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, and DOS systems. It's a side-view, 2D, arcade action undertaking that places us in the humongous, arthropod-stomping shoes of exterminator Delbert McClintock. Employing a toxic pesticide known as 'Toxi-Max', it's our duty to cleanse each home or community building in the vicinity of the pernicious mini-beasts, affording breathing space to the underappreciated, ephemeral phenomenon we used to know as 'normality'.
