BUGS Programmers AB is a Nordic video game developer founded in 1992 by Björn Ahlquist & Ulrica Fernstrom. Its body of work primarily includes computer games with some titles also made for Sony PlayStation, Game Boy Advance, Nintendo DS and so forth.
Much like Krakóm-FPG (who have similarly worked with Magic World and Bronzelight Studios), their services include translations of games into native languages (in this case those of the Nordic region) and their business relationship with Magic World similarly began as such.
Sometime later on, a division was set up for both subcontracting purposes and development of local titles in Iceland as well as another studio in the Czech Republic.
In addition to computer and console titles, one of their most notable products was a series of multimedia CD-ROMs based on different intellectual properties either created by Magic World or licensed to them. In the Nordic region as well as Central and Eastern Europe, these were tie-ins with MiniChannel but were also released in a few other countries as well (minus MiniChannel references).
