For anyone unaware, all the Pangea classics (Bugdom, Nanosaur, Cro-Mag Rally, Otto Matic, Power Pete/Mighty Mike, etc) were open-sourced a few years ago and ported to a bunch of modern platforms.

@MossRC @vga256 Do you know what the impetus was for the Power Pete / Mighty Mike rename?

@resistor @vga256 The publisher (MacPlay) insisted on the name change because they worried about Mighty Mike being similar to Mighty Mouse. Pangea changed it back to the original name immediately after they got the IP rights back in 2001.

@MossRC @vga256 Yes and no. Iliyas Jorio's modern source ports were open-sourced, but the original source code remains inaccessible. Shame, too, because the original Power Pete runs great on Pippin hardware, while the "modern" Mighty Mike eschews the optimizations that make that possible. Would be cool to see the differences.
