Bagman
Review by megamonky
"Nice, fun, addictive game. check it out if can."
Hi, Bagman is a nice fun game for the arcade. You play as an escapee from prison who is trying to get his loot that he stashed in an old abandoned mine. Though it isn't that easy, there are many obstacles that stop him from getting his loot. So here is my opinion on the game.
GAMEPLAY : the gameplay is very good and is very fun. It is way too addictive I find myself usually playing this game every day for at least 30 minutes a day, yes this may not be as much as you may play some other games but come on cut it some slack it was made in 1982 and I'm still finding myself playing at every chance I have. Well basically you're the bad guy and you have most likely just broken out of jail (because you are wearing jail type clothes) and you've come back to get your hidden stash from an abandoned mine well that's what you thought there are 2 old prospectors still in the mine and they are trying to catch you, even though they can sometime be as stupid as a rock they can get very annoying at times.
STORYLINE : As I said previously you have just broken out of jail and you have come back to an old abandoned mine. Or so you thought there are 2 prospectors there and they are trying to catch you. You have to use the action button to grab the money bags and take them back to a wheelbarrow placed at the top of the level. You also have to clear other difficulties like dodging mine carts and grabbing on to pick axes so you can get rid of those pesky prospectors. There are also elevators in certain parts of the level and you can use them to your advantage.
GRAPHICS : for a game made in 1982 the graphics aren't to bad the ground can be light or dark brown and the ladders are aqua blue. You wear red and white striped costume and the prospectors where blue overalls and a white shirt they also have grey hair. So the graphics are ok but there not great either I still think they could of put that little bit extra detail in it tough and they could of as well.
SOUND : There is not much background music at all which I am very disappointed about. Yet you can hear some noises like the shuffling of yours and the prospector's foot steps which actually can get very annoying sometimes. When you jump into a mine cart bagman will make a funny little noise kind of like this HEY OPLA I don't know if I got the spelling is right but it's close enough and when he grabs onto handrails he will say WEEP and when he dies he will go ay yi yi.
OVERALL : this game is a fun, addictive game which is worth playing
