Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with H: discussion
I'd also add Harrier Attack. Ok, not the best game ever, but it was great when it came out (still it's great for me!)

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with H: discussion
I'd also add Herbert's Dummy Run. After Everyone's a Wally, it's back to the original concept in Pyjamarama, and the result is very good IMHO.
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with H: discussion
How about Hacker? Me and me mate spent ages playing that. Also 'Hunchback the adventure' was pretty good.
In all honesty, it's all a bit pointless as I'm going to vote for HoH anyway as it one of my all time favourite games

"LOGON PLEASE" is the only thing I remember about Hacker.

Yeah, definitely another "failed to get off the first screen" game, along with Mutan Zone and Pimania...Juan F. Ramirez wrote: ↑Tue Mar 27, 2018 7:25 pm "LOGON PLEASE" is the only thing I remember about Hacker.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with H: discussion
Hacker was the apex of cryptic spectrum games I thought it was pretty cool idea though at least it tried to do something different with the gameplay. But I really wonder how many people got off the first screen.

Some of them here are very average in my opinion but I have no problem with adding them to the list. Let the people make their choice.H.A.T.E. by Gremlin Graphics

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with H: discussion
Hijack is quite an interesting game once you know what to do.
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with H: discussion
Of course none of them will be voted, not even by me...
Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with H: discussion
Don't be too hasty, I might vote H.E.R.O as I have great memories of it.
I tend to vote with my gut, rather than worry about if the game is actually any good.

Re: The best classic Speccy game beginning with H: discussion
Ahh, Hall of the Things. What an amazing game . No sound and minimal animation (if any) but I played it for hours. I think the lack of sound added to it. Memories of going into a screen, releasing loads of fireballs (I think it was fireballs!) then leaving the screen hoping I got the enemies)
Probably too awkward to play on a handheld due to the amount of keys required
I’d go for Hall of the Things.
