From Wikipedia:
Bagman is a platform arcade game released by Valadon Automation in 1982. It was licensed to Stern for U.S. distribution the same year. In France, the game is titled Le Bagnard. Bagman was followed-up with Super Bagman in 1984.
Gameplay:
The objective of the game is to maneuver the bagman through various mine shafts, picking up money bags and placing them in a wheelbarrow at the surface of the mine. The player must avoid pursuing guards, moving ore carts, and descending elevators. The player may temporarily stun the guards by striking them with a pickaxe or by dropping money bags on them when they are below the player on the same ladder. The player may move between the three screens which make up the level via shafts and on the surface.
Bagman is played using one 4-way joystick and one action button. The joystick is also used to jump out of the ore cart. The Action Button is used to make the Bagman perform the following tasks:
Pick up and drop money bags
Pick up and drop pickaxe
Grab and release the ceiling beam to avoid the ore cart (this can be done while carrying a money bag)
Placing a money bag in the wheelbarrow
Pick up and drop the wheelbarrow
Points are scored for each horizontal step the player takes, for each money bag placed in the wheelbarrow, and for each guard stunned.
Competition ends Sunday, March 20th at midnight Pacific time.
Good luck!

acvieluf, meet WakiMiko. He is the guy who will make you not turning in 3rd from now on very hard.
Waki, welcome back :applaud:
Haha, yeah. Waki, thanks for giving us a few week head start since your name is on the trophy already. :)
Haha, thanks Yam. It's good to be back. Although i have a feeling that this game is going to be very frustrating. Let's see if anyone is able to complete the first level.
I am finding this game very frustrating, purely due to the controls. It's growing on me, though.
Waki, i feel like i've seen your avi on an arcade related website. Do you run one? Sorry for the dumb question if it's well known.

It's based on DonPachi so it's very possible that you have seen it on an arcade site before, but I don't run one. I stole the logo from https://lowrez.spreadshirt.de/dp-squadron-A18677078/customize/color/387

After completing the first level, you get a 'movie', Bagman is chased off the screen by a guard, then returns and it's payback time.

Worst name entry system ever. Takes longer to enter your name than it does to play the game.

60,970. One bag short :banghead:

Haha- absolutely!
I always skipped this game because I never played it in the arcades or I might have but thought the difficulty didn't make me want to spend the quarter.
However- I am really enjoying the challenge of this game now on my ArcadeSD and as soon as I beat the first level - I may try Super Bagman!
Does anyone know exactly what the voice samples say?

From what I understand -
Bagman grabs the handhold : Ouuuui !
Bagman drops into cart : Et - hopla !

Is that French? Or just expletives?

I don't mind picking the next game (Again, haha) but here's my conundrum: I'm pretty new to having all of the arcade games at my disposal, and honestly my knowledge of them is limited. I am aware of plenty of games, but it seems we've already done the vast majority of them over the past 3 years.
So tell me what would be better, i leave it up to you: Pick one thats already been done? (most likely in year one, so that there's been some time between contests) OR just let the 2nd or 4th place winner pick?
Post by: RayB on March 21, 2016, 11:31:31 am
Not expletives, just non-word idioms. "Ouii!" is like "Ouch!", "et hoopla", is like saying "alley-oop!"Does anyone know exactly what the voice samples say?

My vote is for popsicle / JDFan picking the next one, as redoing a previous challenge might give someone an unfair advantage. Another option would be to use Badmouth's 'All killer, no filler'-lists to find a game.
