The best H.E.R.O. remake by far. Very well made! Love the feel of the controls. They are close to perfection. The title screen and the hiscore screen is just LOVELY, with nice and fitting music.
The sound effects could be improved, though. The helicopter sound is especially bad, and that's what you hear the most during gameplay. :)
But all in all, this is fantastic work. Very happy to pay for this!
Extremely good remake, with a couple of improvements, if I may. The sound of the helicopter is jarring. As are the explosions. Too weak. Especially at the end of the level when your remaining sticks are detonating. they just pop away. The 2600 sounds (or the MSX version!) are scintillating.
Also, in every version, you can stand closer to the explosions without being self-destructed.
Other than these minor (but hugely important) gripes, this is an excellent conversion. The new graphics suit the game very well indeed.
Eventually HERO is all about the agility and the playability of the main character, and you have got that down to a dot.
I’ve only played the Atari 2600 version from the 80’s which is an excellent game, your version is absolutely outstanding! You’ve kept all the fun and addictiveness but improved things.. I really love this game!! Great Job !!! 😀

this looks like a great game. Can you please port it over to the new Atari VCS?

I agree. Playability is top notch. Vital in this game.
