Swagman (video game)

Swagman is a 1997 action-adventure video game developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive in Europe for the Sega Saturn and in North America for the PlayStation.

[2] In the game, players assume the role of Zack and Hannah to free the imprisoned Dreamflight fairies and stop the villain Swagman from unleashing his horde of monsters upon the world, whose inhabitants cannot wake up from their nightmares.

During one night at Paradise Falls, the siblings Zack and Hannah read a poem about an entity known as the Swagman, which tells how he and his minions emerged from Terrortries to spread nightmares on people with Dream-Ash.

Witnessing the events from their bedroom, Zack and Hannah hide in fear before their floor fractures with evil creatures emerging from a portal to invade their room and steal their bug collection.

Swagman was developed by Core Design alongside other games for PlayStation and Sega Saturn at the England-based studio including Tomb Raider and Soulstar X, with a team of two programmers and three artists reportedly working on the project at one point.
