What it is

Bugdom (1999) is a 3D adventure where “you play as Rollie McFly, a pill bug on a quest to save ladybugs from King Thorax’s iron grip on the Bugdom” (Bugdom README). It was bundled with some Macs of the era and relied on Apple’s QuickDraw 3D, which stopped at Mac OS 9, so the original no longer runs on modern systems.

After porting Nanosaur, Jorio was offered Bugdom by Pangea. The README says the port “is approved by Pangea Software” and “aims to provide the best way to experience Bugdom today”, adding modern comforts like arbitrary resolutions and fixing some gameplay bugs. Since version 1.3.1 it uses a tailor-made renderer.
