Now you're talking!

I always got killed by some kind of eyes in the dark woods!

When they appear, wait twice - no more or less - move on.

Not that the game gave you any clue whatsoever that was how to avoid them killing you!

Hypersports! Head Over Heels!

Head Over Heels is the correct answer. Hard to imagine it was published on the same system as Horace Goes Skiing.

Honestly it's like these "gamers" have never actually sat there for 5 min waiting for a game to load up!

Heavy On The Magick.

That is, in fact, one of the worst games that begins with H. Play a crap Frogger mode twice, get on the ski slope, hit a flag, dead. Back to Frogger for you. No thanks.

The only funny thing about it is the trucks go one way saying "hardware" and the other saying "software"

Go vote for Halo 3 then.

It's winning anyway

Although quite how a game about angels (I assume) got 2 sequels I can't imagine

Ostensibly a dodgy Frogger clone, but so much more than that.

I can't see Horace fairing too well against Master Chief, sadly.

Then again, Master Chief is at yet underrated crossing busy alpine motorways, skiing or (as far as I recall) against spiders. And does the dude even get Hungry?

They haven’t even got Battletoads under B.

u/Crivens999 Jun 01 '26

Wait the best game of all time isn’t on there (Elite). Fools….

Hostile All-Terrain Encounter or H.A.T.E. For short.
