2026-03-12: Cocopedia.com is now using a new caching system that should make things faster. Please let me know if you encounter any new issues.

2026-03-15: MediaWiki has been reinstalled and the old database and files restored. It was pretty clogged up from being upgraded so many times since 2004. I am also testing out Cloudflare to see if it can prevent the 'bot assaults that took the site down last year.

Megabug is a loose clone of Pac-Man written by Steve Bjork.

Differences with Pac-Man

The maze is much larger and more complex. The player character generates a trail behind him which the enemy bugs will follow if they run across it, forcing the player to double back on his trail, lay false and dead-end trails, and so on. There is no equivalent of the "power pill" or bonus items.

Sound

The plays a tune based on "La Chucaracha" before each turn or life. At each player death, a digitized voice says "We gotcha!" and the large bugs framing the screen dance in celebration. Unlike many CoCo games with digitized voices, no additional equipment is necessary.
