I'm surprised that people think that this game has zero appeal.

Ask yourself, "Who loves insects?"

Answer: Little boys

A few commercials on Nickelodeon, and this game could have been a lot bigger.

 

 Wrong.  Little boys like to collect and maybe kill bugs, not pretend to be a bug.  A pokemon bug game might work but not one where your cast as a bug.

Want proof?   Sectaurs.

In the 80's Coleco launched a toyline on the premise that boys like bugs.  It had HUGE marketing.  A cartoon.  A comic series.  You name it, it had it.  It was trumpeted as the next 'big' thing.   Stores bought a ton.  And it failed completely.

I agree. Also, even if little boys want to be bugs, I don't think Deadly Creature would be the first choice the parents would buy for the little boys.
