Hello, RS fans!

With the recent launch of Tom Walker's Hard Hat Harry 2, you might be forgiven for characterising this as an answer from Atom stalwart Kees van Oss.

RS is indeed delighted to launch Kees' downloadable Acorn Atom port of Tom's surprisingly fast-developed beeb smash-hit from last new year: Hard Hat Harry! It shouldn't really be considered as a reply to the release of HHH2, though - yours truly was meant to release this at Replay, and managed to get sidetracked.

Apologies to both Kees and Atom fans, but here is his port of Tom's BBC Micro/Electron original squeezed into an Atom with 32 KB RAM. More detail, screenshots and the download is available here:

Once again, Kees has supplied the complete source code for his new port, under a GPL licence.

Please feedback on the Atom port for Kees and/or the game in general for Tom in the Hard Hat Harry forum. Feedback from the community is always a big encouragement to our hobbyist developers to stick it through to the end of their projects.

Keep an eye on this site for further titles in the future ...

Many thanks,

Sam.
