Synopsis

Bugdom is a 1999 platform video game developed and published by Pangea Software for Mac OS 9. It was included with the iMac DV 2000 and later iBook models. Bugdom was ported to Microsoft Windows by Hoplite Research and released in 2000 by On Deck Interactive, a division of Gathering of Developers. Following the acquisition of Gathering by Take-Two Interactive in 2002, the game was ported again by Ideas From the Deep. However, Take-Two Interactive apparently continued publishing illegal copies of Bugdom, prompting Ideas From the Deep to contact the FBI's crime division. Despite this, Take-Two Interactive continued to publish copies following the debate. Bugdom was generally well received by critics, being praised for its graphics, gameplay and soundtrack but criticized for certain technical glitches as well as gameplay repetition, and sold fairly well. A sequel, Bugdom 2, was released on December 30, 2002.
