    Game Review & Impressions
    ---------------------------------------------------
    Now this is a weird one.
    Hard Head is a strange platformer, starring a dungaree-wearing character with block-headed cranium and protruding forehead; not the most endearing design for the central character in a video game.
    The game design is clearly inspired by Super Mario Bros., but this lacks any of Nintendo's charm polish. The controls are stiff and the jumping imprecise, neither of which are desirable in a game which is heavily focused on such things.
    What's even more surprising is Hard Head received a sequel...

    I like how literally anything can come out of the blocks; cherries, apples, corndogs, treasure chests, cigarette packs. Dudes set for life.

      They can also apparently bestow the gift of the Coronavirus as well. This is one of the most random games I've ever seen.

    My childhood. I used to finish these game and other in game-cafes here in Morocco when I wad 12-13 years old and remember how many will stand there surrounding the arcade cabinet and watching and cheering me up. Nostalgia!

    I always liked the third stage. The music, the piano key platforms and the boss music.

    Another obscure platformer that I've never heard of. It has the basic fundamentals of the Super Mario bros. Looks kinda fun might give this a try one day.

    At 31:19 the score overflows and resets back to 0. They apparently never thought anyone would get over 1000000 points. Even on the hi-score screen it's using the lower, overflow score.

    That was definitely something. Hope you're going to play the sequel!

    Gotta admit, I was expecting this to be far worse than it was. Almost feels like a TG-16 game.
    “This is an obscure 2D side-scrolling platform game that was developed and produced by SunA Electronics of an unknown team of game designers/programmers, and internationally released only for the arcades from South Korea to arcades worldwide during the 1988 Summer Olympics.”

    lmao you don't get bonus, you get "BOUNS"

    This has something to do with Krillin from Dragonball Z. Note the uncanny appearance and the Dragonballs you ride on throughout the game.

    This is great art. Could be made in North Korea i would have guessed. Very charming music and sound. Last bosses very scary!

    very strange game and strange level design : a mix of alex kidd, wonderboy, bubble bobble etc with programmers under LSD drugs xD

    2:54 Australia has arrived! What an odd game.

      Fun Fact:
      The game takes place in Austria,
      the Australian flag is there due to a misspelling confusion error on country flag sources.

    Wow, does this game give me uncanny valley/body horror vibes. Also, if he can literally whack blocks with his head, as the game's title tells us, why does he need a hammer to break anything?! Shouldn't he just be able to headbutt the walls as well?

      Haha. It's perfect for this game but I guess it could be better!
      Bouns 1000pts!🎉

    If the "BOUNS" at 1:11 is really a mistake, it's crazy it made it to the final version of the game...

      ...man, all these years and I've never noticed that 😆

    The whole game is like some sort of a mental disability PSA. How the characters look, their objectives, enemies, those poor bosses, it's like a cruel ball of human misery.

    Is that considered long for an arcade game?

      Not exactly, there are other arcade games that I can't list on the top of my head with a long run time.

    The scene after a stage completion leaves me with so many questions. Are those children? Is this a "progressive" family situation?

    The english in this game is terrible! SunA couldn't even spell "BONUS" right after you collect a heart yet they spelled "BONUS" after beating a level
