Bagitman, developed by Roderick Smith and published by Aardvark Action Software in1983. Since recording the video and looking at Aardvark Action adverts, I've come to realise that this most likely was only released in the US and I should have recorded this in ntsc as I did with Murphy. To think this thing cost $24.95 on tape. I'm sure it would have been 3.99 from the like of The Power House if released in the UK. We did get Gilligan's Gold though which is a naff version of the game for £5.99! from Ocean.
Home conversion of the original arcade game Bagman. The game has only 3 screens of varying difficulty and you can move freely between them. The goal is to collect all the money bags and drop them in your wheel barrow. Once you have them all, the game starts over earning an extra life with the barrow where you left it.
The game gives the impression of being simple, just run up and down ladders collecting the bags but those two miners are fiendish and constantly chasing you down. You can some what manipulate there route but if you find your self waiting for a life, that's when they can double team you and give you nowhere to run. You get once use hammers to knock em down momentarily and can avoid them by riding the wagons. You can pick up and drop the bags where you like which is useful as you move slower while holding the bag and may need drop it in a safe spot if you know you are gonna get caught.
