My other platforming playlist:    • smbhax's other platforming!  

0:00 - intro screen, function keys
4:05 - title screen
8:10 - playing and talking
16:05 - try harder!
24:13 - big choke ; D
28:11 - high score run
41:20 - the last bag = oo
45:39 - Hard difficulty
48:09 - that last bag!!!
54:10 - wrap!

This is the author's second remix of the 1982 maze game Bagman by French company Valadon Automation, and he changes the screen from vertical to horizontal, condenses the options to adjustable Difficulty only--but now with per-Difficulty high score lists, condenses the width of the stages, so now with the wider screen there's no scrolling necessary, and, with assistance from his brother Stefano this time, adds 20 new stages instead of the 2021 Bagman Comes Back's 8.

The condensed, non-scrolling stages make a huge difference! In smaller mines, the guards can cover far more of the maze, there's less just walking back and forth, and in effect the whole game is more sped up and intense. (I thought the bonus / time limit was new but no that was in the original.) Also there's no more guards scrolling into view suddenly in such a way you find yourself trapped, which is really good. ^_ ^

Can't tell for sure what raising the difficulty does; in Comes Back I'd thought maybe it sped the guards up a little, but now I think that was incorrect. Here, anyway, they seemed the same speed, but it did seem harder somehow--like they're more likely to turn and chase you, or maybe they detect you from further away--and/or maybe they tend to congregate more around the remaining $ bags; for instance when I had one mine down to one bag in the lower right corner, they both kept patrolling right around it! = o I should'a tried going in with the nearby pick axe probably, although I think it might only have had four seconds of use left.

I could NOT remember how to get off a mine cart safely and kept leaping off the front while they were still moving forward, thus getting myself instantly run over by the cart I was just riding! ; D Man I gotta uh yeah learn not to do that, durgh.

The order of stages appears to be semi-random; across my various attempts I got the same three stages or so as the first stage, for instance.

OH! Stages can change color; for instance the stage with the ramps on the right, above that tricky-to-get last bag, was sorta tannish brown at 45:54, but had been reddish brown at 42:00.
