	~~Blazekickn~~ 12 Mar 2018 03:44 10/10 best game hopefully best set too
	Zyndeyqualarrin 26 Mar 2018 18:58 You master this game by having the courage to start it on your emulator
	~~BenGhazi~~ 3 Jun 2018 21:49 Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
	BritishDeadpool 14 Jun 2018 00:30 The Game that (almost) single-handily destroyed the Video Game industry.
	kaitohcv 31 Mar 2019 17:46 we need achievements on this masterpiece
	DrDro 19 Apr 2019 05:25 ^ you got your wish
	Keltron3030 3 Jan 2020 07:02 Reviewed the existing unofficial set, promoted it, and added two leaderboards.
	Keltron3030 7 Jan 2020 02:54 Nearly all achievements must be earned on the default hard difficulty. Exceptions: "Learn How to Play" and the 3 Easter eggs which can be earned on easy (setting 3).
	JMaio 7 Jan 2020 19:23 Good set. Bad game.
	Dogmeatman 12 Jan 2020 20:49 Pretty amazing game considering the hardware limitations and HSW was given only six weeks from design to delivery. If it wasnt for the annoyances of falling in the pits when you didnt want to, this would be among the greats of the 2600 games.
	Keltron3030 13 Jan 2020 15:55 I don't disagree. Could have changed the course of history.
	guddentehpwner 17 Jul 2020 23:02 I just noticed the box art for the first time. Seeing it made my day. Please never change it.
	MaddieKittyTV 27 Dec 2020 00:33 Mastered!
	funguy161 1 Feb 2021 02:43 obligatory mastered comment
	~~RetroChris81~~ 14 Jun 2021 23:36 Mastered (#57)
	Tybis 13 Oct 2021 20:40 Great set design, it teaches players how the game works.
	alphacrust 29 Mar 2022 22:49 Tips for dealing with pits: you fall when any part of your sprite overlaps with them. If you fall, press the button (without holding directions) while in the air to begin floating so that you don't lose too many points. You don't need to hold the button to float, you're free to move up or safely descend to get a phone piece. When you reach the top, start pressing left or right to avoid falling back down, and find a safe place to land.
	DavidLR04 16 May 2022 22:33 misunderstood (and very unpolished) masterpiece
	julienktl 25 Sep 2022 21:30 This is not a bad game but when I fall just after I have reached the top make me sad.
	krehztim 26 Oct 2022 15:11 Mastered. I forgot what an absolute aggressive jackass the FBI agent is.
