| Remarks | When Paco Portalo presented "La Pulga" to Indescomp, the software market for the ZX Spectrum was still non-existent in Spain. Thus Indescomp made a deal with Quicksilva and released this game in UK first (around October 1983) renamed as "Bugaboo the Flea". The game was later released in Spain, around December 1983, as "La Pulga". |
