[WIP] Super Bagman conversion

[jotd]

Converted from the original Z80 disassembly from the arcade game, this Bagman follow up has 5 screens instead of 3 and difficulty went from "hard" to "brutal" in the process. There are strategies to complete the first level, though, I did that a few years ago

No playable version yet, just a video

no9 promised he would do the music too

Game should run on A500 1MB like most others I converted.

playable version in the zone. Very early, no music, requires 68020, some graphical bugs but otherwise playable

[DanyPPC]

Thanks, time to test

[jotd]

if someone can provide an icon, I'd be grateful.

Make sure you read the strategy guide that I've written to play, as else the game appears brutal (it is, but less if you know where to put your barrow, etc...). I can usually beat the first level, losing a few lives but that could be improved. I can beat the first level of Bagman without losing a life (but the game is way easier).

Super Bagman is for sure hard but the new items and the jump, the 5 screens, ... add some depth and it's way less boring to play.

Done

Here a standard WB 4 color icon

[jotd]

excellent thanks! I can't wait to get the music from no9 and integrate it.

Will try to play on the real machine this week-end, which is the ultimate goal of doing those ports.

Hi,

Congratulations JOTD, it look nice... Many Thanks for this First Alpha.

Many Thanks to DanyPPC For This Nice Icon too

[DanyPPC]

Thank You to all to support jotd with his arcade conversion

[jotd]

Playable version on its way. Just removing some 68000-compatibility issues and I'll publish on itch (page is ready with videos & pics already)

What was the original name for Super Bagman? I know the original bagman name was Le Bagnard because the french version was distributed in Italy

[jotd]

I think it was Super Bagnard.

Hi JOTD,

I just tested Your Super Bgaman Beta version, I can confirm that it seems to be full compatible on my A500 REV. 6A 512k+512k (68000).
Your WHDLoad version was tested too on another A500 ACA500Plus @28 Mhz and on my A1200 68030 @ 40 MHZ.

I think it will be very perfect with the Music.

Very good job and Many Thanks for this nice and Quickly Transcode.

Best regards,

Pascal

Game is pretty complete by now with music by no9 (great conversions as always!) and a "very easy" mode which is default and allows the game to be playable.

Arcade mode is also available, along with a lot of trainer options.

Game is so brutal you're not going to find a lot of longplays on youtube. Someone completed first level without losing a life but claims he can't get past the second level. Hopefully the very easy mode will allow that (with some training )

BTW some pro player succeeds in playing forever (but seems that the game becomes buggy at some point and the guards can be trapped in the vault when you can pass without having to break the wall) [ Show youtube player ]

Note that the level number is so high that the fonts are buggy.
