The game Hard Hat Mack is a platform game that involves the construction of a building. The name is named after the safety head gear used in construction sites. Although this game was not as popular as Donkey Kong and other platform games in the eighties, I really liked this game a lot and played it for many, many hours as a child.
The game was originally released for the Apple II in 1983. It was later ported for the Atari-8bit, the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Coleco Adam and as a PC Booter.

The game was originally released for the Apple II in 1983. It was later ported for the Atari-8bit, the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, Coleco Adam and as a PC Booter. Hard Hat Mack was actually the first game to be released by Electronic Arts.
In the first level of the game, Mack must fill gaps in the floor with girders. There are obstacles
that he must overcome to complete this task. The player must have very fast reflexes so that he can avoid the hazards in the construction site. In the second level of the game, you need to bring tool boxes to the top of the building. The only way you can reach the top is by using giant magnets. You control these giant magnets. In the third level, your goal is to drop crates into a rivet machine below. In all the levels, the player must stay alert so that he can avoid the different dangers in the job that involves everything from safety inspectors, electric wires to other realistic hazards in the construction field. It is important not to run out of time before completing the tasks. You will be making use of conveyor belts, elevators and other machines in the game.
The graphics was good enough for the time it was released but the 4-color CGA graphics looks pretty dated today. But the graphics still add to the whole old-school feel of the game. It shouldn’t turn you off from the game.
The game is difficult from the beginning and although the game is easy to learn, it is tough to master. The game can also be a little bit frustrating in the beginning because you need to restart the whole level when you die.
This game is really worth downloading because you will most likely spend countless hours playing the game. It is highly addictive and entertaining. The game can really bring a sense of nostalgia to anyone who plays the game. It brings you to a time when games were more about the game play and the challenges than it is about flashy graphics.
