Rollie can turn left or right, move forward or backward, simply by moving the mouse in the appropriate direction.Ĭonsole games are designed to work with a controller, but Pangea couldn't count on Mac gamers having a joypad, so they instead worked out an intuitive mouse and keyboard control method that works nearly as well, and is actually similar to the mouse control used in Doom. For players more comfortable with keyboard control, Rollie can also be propelled and maneuvered that way, or the keyboard and mouse can be combined. Overall, control is one area where Bugdom excels. Many 3rd person perspective games, including blockbusters like Tomb Raider, have problems with their camera control, but Bugdom has managed to avoid this pitfall. In most cases, the camera floats right behind Rollie and gives you a clear perspective on the playing area. If you're unhappy with what the camera is showing you, you can rotate or zoom the camera in or out.

Graphically, Bugdom justifies the existence of ATI's Rage Pro chip set. Ostensibly, these are 3D accelerators, but anyone who has tried to play Unreal using a Rage II can tell you that there isn't much horsepower there.Īll pre-Blue & White G3 systems come with either an ATI Rage Pro or Rage II video chip set. Despite this, Bugdom look fantastic on an iMac. Even with only 2 MBs of VRAM, the game is a 3D powerhouse. Bump that up to 6MBs on a Rage Pro, and the visual quality is stunning.
