From Allegro Wiki

More3D

More3D is an addon package for Allegro that provides a much simpler 3D interface. it supports structured objects that encapsulate 3d faces and child objects. It supports simple rotations and translations of objects. More3D can load and convert bitmaps and apply them to objects as textures. More3D provides support for Zbuffering or simple sorting. It provides support for dynamic lighting with three different modes of operation. It can render on any surface including 8bpp ones. It provides tesselators for triangles, planes, boxes, hexagons, circles, cylinders and cones. And some more.

JPEG-ish

JPEG-ish is a JPEG like codec for saving/loading pictures. It doesn't conform exactly to the JPEG standard but the source code is compact and very simple to use. It achieves about 12:1 ratios with little loss in quality. It can load onto 8bpp surfaces but not save 8bpp surfaces. The quality of the saved images is user controllable so you can use near lossless or more lossy as required.
