Picnic Paranoia is a video game originally released by Synapse Software Corporation for the Atari 8-bit systems in 1982 and then by Atarivision in 1983 for the TI-99/4A.[citation needed]

Game Play

Playing as "George" the player attempts to protect their picnic from Ants, who will carry off the food, Spiders, who will weave webs to slow George down or bite, and Wasps, who will sting to paralyze. While fending off the insects the player must move the food back on to the tables. Points are gained for food still visible on the screen at the end of each round.[1] Each round lasts 90 seconds. There are sixteen rounds in a game. If all the food is pushed off the screen the game ends.[citation needed]
