anyone else played hardhat climbers (availible in zimmers)? - good platform style game with a good difficulty curve. Around level 6 the girders and ladders can become quite dificult to navigate quickly, but this also leave plenty of places that are safe from the barrels.

I haven't played that in years. I think it's a two part PRG, right?

the zimmers version is only a single part .prg - but it may have had a load screen. ( all the UDG's are in the main program)
in any case here is the original magazine article

Ok. I played it again, and it is great. I like this even better than the Krazy Kong and Mini Kong included in the mega cart. I think Vic
users should have a greater appreciation for unexpanded games.

Mini Kong is an unexpanded game, it was one of my favorite games when I was child (Gordilla was the Italian Name
)
Mega-Cart : the cartridge you plug in once and for all.

I recall typing that in from Compute! in the day and recall it being a very good platformer!! Simple but good for the Vic at the time
