# Super Bagman (68K)

Super Bagman remake by JOTD in 2023

Original game by Valadon Automation (c) 1984

ROM strings show that it has been coded by Jacques Brisse (still head of Valadon in 2015 at least)

Game uses 99% of the transcoded original code for better accuracy.

Some memory read bugs & text typos have been fixed, some not.
Music never loses the tempo.

Sound use samples.

Game still has original bugs left
