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

The player must control Bugaboo and guide him back to the top of the cavern, and out to the safety of the planet's surface.

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.
