- 0.27: Jarek Burczynski provided better colors for Bagman.
- 0.18: Nicola Salmoria fixed bugs in the Bagman sound driver which caused page faults when run under DOS.
- 0.12: Since the 8910 emulator doesn't allow to set the clock frequency at runtime [Nicola Salmoria], I temporarily switched to using the default one. This affects sound in Crazy Climber, Crazy Kong and Bagman. Let me know whether it's better or worse than before. I finally found out what was causing slowdowns in Rally X and Bagman. It was an interrupt related issue (see later). I hope I didn't break a dozen of other games to fix this.

- 0.04: Nicola Salmoria added 'Bagman' (Stern 1982). Game is playable (slowdowns) with wrong colors and music only. Control: Arrows = Move around and CTRL = Action. Known issues: Frequent slowdowns, I don't know what's causing them (the fps counter stays at 60, so this is not caused by slow emulation).

Arcade Video game published 37 years ago:
Bagman (c) 1982 Valadon Automation [VA].
The objective of the game is to maneuver 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.
