'Bugdom'

[MAC] [USA] [MAGAZINE] [1999]

"Brian Greenstone and his pals at Pangea Software have a tradition of making attractive games-Weekend Warrior; Nanosaur; and one of the (Macworld Game Hall of Fame)'s all-time favorites, Power Pete. Pangea's latest effort is, quite literally, cute as a bug, and as such couldn't have a more appropriate name-Bugdom. Bugdom's goal is simple. In the guise of Rollie McFly, a colorful roly-poly bug, you must help free the ladybugs captured by ne'er-do-well fire ants under the control of King Thorax. To do so, you rush around the ten levels of Bugdom (these include The Lawn, The Pond, and The Forest) kicking down the spiderweb cages that contain the fair ladybugs, all the while avoiding or attacking your insectoid-and in The Pond, your piscine-opponents. No one does RAVE hardware acceleration better than Pangea, and it there-fore comes as no surprise that Bugdom is lovely to look at. But the game does require some variety of ATI 3-D-accel-eration hardware. If your Mac lacks such hardware, you can get it by adding ATT's Rage Orion video card to your PCI-based Power Mac. Bugdom's action is frantic enough for hard-core arcade gamers, yet nonviolent enough for children. Best of all, it's available only on the Macintosh." ~Christopher Breen, MacWorld (December 1999, "1999 MacWorld Game Hall of Fame")'

Well, it ain't a Mac exclusive anymore, but it is open source and on Itch.io now!

bugdom was so cool. I actually really love how bugdom 1 and 2 were so different of games. The whole thing with the game felt like 'here's what it's like to be a bug! fight in the bug war' so when bugdom two was just a different bug in a different place I was like "WOW COOL" and immediately started thinking of what bug i would want to play as in bugdom 3.

The first game was really really fun to control with awesome physics based movement and such, the second game just had a lot of random toys for a bug such as knocking over batteries and surfing in a gutter and stuff. I think the best iteration of a bugdom game would combine these two strengths into one, having really cool bug's controls but also having a lot of random small things made into significant toys for you to mess with by virtue of you being a bug. idk
