Another new year heads up for you all, as we've recently been told through Facebook, that Clebin Games has released the high quality ZX Spectrum 128k remake of the 1980's game of Gilligan's Gold / Bagman. A game which spawned a number of more recent versions for the Amiga and C64 such as Bagman Strikes Back, Bagman Comes Back, and Super Bagman. To coincide with this news, we've got the latest footage of the game below, as well as a bit of info about the gameplay itself.
Looking through the EAB forums for some game developments to feature, and we've found out that JOTD has released an almost complete/final version of the Arcade to Amiga conversion of 'Super Bagman'. A game which the creator says has not only been converted from an original Z80 disassembly from the arcade game, but has multiple screens instead of 3, difficulty going from "hard" to "brutal" although an easy mode is provided, and music by no9. To coincide with this news, you can see the latest footage of this version in Saberman's video below.
