Has any one ever played Swagman?

[The bag of sand]

I got this game at the flea market yesterday and cant seem to put it down. It is amazing, its a lot like zelda, except you have a flash light. The music is great, it kind of remindes me of CV:SotN. The graphics are good for its time considering it was made in 96'. The reason I got it, I would say is because of the cover. The cover is the best part about it, it has the swagman (The swag man is kind of like freddy kruger) I tried reading up on this wonderful game but was supprised to find nothing about it except 2 reviews on game faqs. I was hopeing any of you guys has played it??

I think the game also game out for Saturn, but I'm not too sure. Its pretty fun I think. If you ever see it, I recomend picking it up. I tried ripping the music but I have no idea how to do it

Seeing the pictures reminds me of the game- I probably used to have a magazine with a review of it in it.

Tbh I would be put off by the fact it was released by Eidos for Core alone, I also hate the art style, it reminds me of so many games of that era...

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and give it a whirl though if I see it about.

I remember renting it at a local video store, but that's about the time my PSX started to overheat. Never got to play it past the intro, unfortunately.

I remember reading about it in Gamefan. Damn shame that magazine isn't around any more.

Kinda reminds me of Zombies Ate My Neighbor, save with more graphics coming from either Toe Jam & Earl or Maniac Mansion. I may have to look into this game myself, this being the first time I've ever heard of it.

solid, underrated game. Saturn version is HTF and last I checked commands $40+

Wow only came out in PAL for saturn. I thought 40 Winks was in the series but I never played that game either..

I played 40 winks, resonably good but I didn't end up playing it for too long, though it would make sense being in the series sicne reading about Swagman i immediately thought *40 winks*.
