Blagger is a platform game created by Antony Crowther and released by Alligata for the Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC, Acorn Electron and BBC Micro computers. In some countries this game was released under the name Gangster. The sequel Son of Blagger was released in 1983. The gameplay is similar to that of Manic Miner, also released in 1983.
Overview The game is divided into a series of single screen levels. The goal of the player on each screen is manipulate Blagger, a burglar, to collect the scattered keys and then reach the safe. The keys must be collected and the safe opened in a set amount of time. Blagger can walk either left or right, or jump left or right. The jumping action is in a fixed pattern and cannot be altered once initiated. Gameplay reduces to learning the best order in which to collect the keys, and correct timing of movements and jumping. Hazards Not all platforms are solid, some decay once Blagger has walked on them. Other platforms serve to move Blagger in a particular direction. Blagger will die if he touches cacti, or one of the moving enemy obstacles of the level. The moving enemies vary from level to level, and include cars, aliens, mad hatters, and giant mouths. The movement of the enemies is of a fixed pattern, repeatedly travelling from one point to another and back again. | ||||||||
