Bee 52

Bee 52 is an unlicensed side-scrolling video game published by Codemasters for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992.

A Commodore 64 version was completed in 1993, but was not published due to Codemasters withdrawing from the C64 market.

[1] The player controls Bee 52, a honeybee with large eyes and a fly-like sucker for a mouth, through which it can spit projectiles at enemies.

Bee 52 can find add ons such as a super stinger with a longer reach, or more powerful projectiles either by killing a special lightning bug whose appearance is random, or visiting certain secret holes.

AllGame editor Skyler Miller described Bee 52 as a "fascinating game", giving it "high marks both for its creative premise and the strength of its execution".
