You compete against rival cavemen on nine courses with different themes such as the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages. Brog can collect various weapons such as bone bombs, bottle rockets, homing pigeons, and land mines.

'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!
