A sequel was released in Spain by Opera Soft under the title Poogaboo, made by Paco Suarez.

The only way to lose a life is for Bugaboo to make contact with the large, yellow dragon which wanders around the cave.

Bugaboo can escape the dragon by carefully leaping away, or by taking refuge inside one of the smaller caverns that are located around the play area.

[9] Bugaboo reached number 3 in the Spectrum Top 10 charts compiled by WH Smith behind Lunar Jetman and Durell's Jungle Trouble.

[16] The game's popularity spawned the creation of a book in 2009 entitled Bugaboo, un hito en la Historia del software español by Francisco Portalo Calero (i.e., Paco Portalo, one of the original authors of the game) and published by Universidad de Extremadura, which is available online.
