Blagger (video game)

Blagger is a platform game created by Antony Crowther, released in 1983 for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron. It was published by A&F Software.

The game features a cartoon-style character, the eponymous Blagger, who must navigate a series of levels consisting of rooms interconnected by doors, ladders, and elevators. The objective of the game is to collect all the keys in each room to unlock a safe containing stolen goods. Guards patrol the levels, and if Blagger is caught, the game ends.

Gameplay emphasizes stealth and timing to avoid the guards. Blagger can jump, climb ladders, and use elevators to traverse the levels. The game is known for its challenging gameplay and tight controls.

Blagger was followed by a sequel, Krakout, which retained the core gameplay mechanics but introduced new environments and challenges. The original Blagger is considered a classic title for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron and is remembered for its engaging gameplay and distinctive visual style.
