Swagman

Swagman is an action-adventure game developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive, released in Europe in 1997. Players control twin siblings Zack and Hannah as they attempt to stop the nightmare-wielding villain Swagman and free the imprisoned Dreamflight fairies. The game combines platform and adventure elements across both real-world and dreamscape stages.

The database currently catalogues one PAL variant, a single Original release distributed across the UK, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, dated 1 July 1997. This pressing is presented in a Full Jewel PAL case with no hologram on the case and contains one disc supporting English, French, and German. No loose paperwork, case stickers, or bundled demos are documented.

Swagman was a somewhat overlooked Core Design title in its day, overshadowed by the studio’s work on Tomb Raider. Its single PAL variant and modest collector profile make it a curiosity rather than a highly sought title, though Core Design fans and Eidos catalogue completists will find it worth tracking down.
