'''''Bugdom''''' is a 1999 [[Platform game|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]].<ref name="PC">{{cite web |title=Bugdom Coming to PCs |url=http://www.gamespot.com/articles/bugdom-coming-to-pcs/1100-2646169/ |first=Trey |last=Walker |publisher=[[GameSpot]] |date=October 27, 2000 |accessdate=February 2, 2015}}</ref> Following the acquisition of Gathering by [[Take-Two Interactive]] in 2002, the game was [[Porting#Porting of video games|ported]] again by Ideas From the Deep.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bugdom Ships! |url=http://www.ideasfromthedeep.com/newsdesk_info.php/newsPath/1/newsdesk_id/22 |publisher=Ideas From the Deep |date=March 24, 2003 |accessdate=February 2, 2015 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20150211173811/http://www.ideasfromthedeep.com/newsdesk_info.php/newsPath/1/newsdesk_id/22 |archivedate=February 11, 2015 }}</ref> However, Take-Two Interactive apparently continued publishing illegal copies of ''Bugdom'', prompting Ideas From the Deep to contact the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]]'s crime division. Despite this, Take-Two Interactive continued to publish copies following the debate.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bugdom Coming to PCs |url=https://www.macworld.com/article/175287/bugdom-2.html |first=Peter |last=Cohen |publisher=[[MacWorld]] |date=April 15, 2005 |accessdate=February 5, 2025}}</ref>

''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.<ref name="BGN">{{cite web|year=2009|url=http://mac.ign.com/objects/488/488853.html|title=IGN: Bugdom II|publisher=[[IGN]]|accessdate=2009-09-19}}</ref>
