Thanks Dale! I had a lot of fun constructing this review. Harley’s Humongous Adventure is a surprisingly decent little game, no pun intended, and is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me. Yes, it’s always fascinating to see the earlier efforts of a company that is much bigger today. As you said, there is an obscurity factor to HHA that makes it extra fun… it’s those tiny games that slip through the cracks. When they turn out to be decent or better, it’s a nice little surprise for sure.

Interviewing Brian Greenstone was a treat and a half! He was a great interview and I just had a blast reviewing HHA and asking him odd questions about his game. Fun times. BTW, speaking of which, I have another interview in the wings. I hope to publish it around Christmas of this year if all goes well. Stay tuned!

Nice review Steve! I never heard of this game before, and like you part of me is always intrigued when I stumble upon these obscure games in used game bins I never heard of before. That kind of exists today with the abundance of digital-only games hitting the digital stores for all three platforms. I think it was last week where 40 (!!!) digital games hit the Switch eShop alone.

Props on also tracking down the designer for HHA! That was a fun interview to read from one of Visual Concept’s early non-sports games. I always associated VC for their early 16-bit Madden games and later the 2K football/basketball games, so to hear from one of their early staff members what development was like back then was pretty insightful!

As always, great work and please keep the content coming!
