rainbow background looks cool, but yeah, the "cool" characters ruin it

pros:
cool background

cons:
less visibility of Swagman

The kids' models are way out-of-place on the EU boxes, so I'm going with NA.

I remember playing this game very briefly as a kid. I got stuck though within about 30 minutes of playing the game and was never able to progress. Never managed to free the girl character.

NA for not having the children on the cover.

RIP children, this is a swagMAN's world

Swagman is what they call Turbam on the streets

no they call him the lunatic fridge

I looked into the game more. The children are twins and turn into Dreambeasts with "monstrous powers" in the Swagman's eerie Dream World. Neat. I also liked the children's sprite work on the back of the case.

Haha. I wrote a guide on this game - it's on this site if you want to try the game again. Swagman was also on the Saturn. Fiendish. And the company also made Tomb Raider.

Those characters on the EU cover are hideous.

NA cover has beautiful minimalism

The character designs look much better in the hand-drawn style, which are shown in loading screens.

I may give it a shot. These games that have nostalgia around them are interesting to play.

Also, I am aware from documentaries that the turn around times on games from Core Design was within a year's time for every Tomb Raider game (which strictly keeping to more than anything else destroyed the studio). Don't know what that means for Swagman's development history. Hopefully it is good if I get around to playing it.
