Firebug is an Apple II maze video game written by Silas Warner and published by Muse Software in 1982. The game was released on cassette tape and on floppy disk. Warner previously created Castle Wolfenstein for the Apple II in 1981. As a pyromaniac, the player carries and ignites cans of gasoline in an attempt to burn as much of the level as possible.
Firebug uses the Apple II's lo-res graphics mode, which displays 16 colors but has a resolution of only 40 wide by 48 high. The game looks more colorful than hi-res Apple games, but the low resolution gives a crude appearance, even by the standards at the time of release. The game was originally released as Firefly.
