Hard Hat Mack is a classic platform game in the style of Donkey Kong or Miner 2049er that deserves much more attention than sales figures suggest. Your objective is very simple: finish building the high-rise while avoiding falling screws, vandals, and the building inspectors. The gameplay is fast, fun, and very addictive, and the graphics in all its 4-color CGA glory is more than adequate to convey the frenetic action. A good proof that Donkey Kong is overrated, and a real blast for the past for nostalgic gamers everywhere 🙂 Two thumbs up, way up!
