Bird Flu is an action-puzzle game with a notably unlikely narrative. Players move differently colored paddles across the bottom of the screen, to catch differently colored "penguiparrot" birds as they fall from above. According to the game's back story, these poor penguiparrots were infected with the bird flu virus when Chinese tourists came to visit their remote island home, and then were cast skyward by a passing hurricane. As a special agent for Green Peace, the player must catch the ill birds as they fall back down from the sky. ~ All Game Guide
