Steg (video Game)
''Steg'', also known as ''Steg the Slug'', is a puzzle-platform game developed by Big Red Software and published by Codemasters in 1992. It was released for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Atari ST, Commodore 64, MS-DOS, and ZX Spectrum. Players control the titular slug who must traverse caverns in order to capture maggots in bubbles, then guide them to his starving young who wait in a nest. Gameplay Players control the slug protagonist and are tasked with feeding their young, referred to as "T'yungunz" (the young 'uns). Steg can jump and adhere to and move along walls and ceilings to visit the nest and locate maggots. Steg's offspring occupy a nest at the top of a cavern, and must be fed with maggots.

Big Red Software
The Big Red Software Company Limited, doing business as Big Red Software, was a British video game developer based in Leamington Spa, England, that was founded by Paul Ranson in October 1989.

The resulting game, '' Magicland Dizzy'', was a critical and commercial success. When ''Retro Gamer'' released a special retrospective edition of ''Your Sinclair'' in 2004, they rated it the 12th best game for ZX Spectrum of all time. Other games released in collaboration w ...
