About HMan

HMan is a hangman game for the Commodore PET, released in 1978. The game was programmed by Glen Fisher and published by CodeWorks - Cursor. This version is available in English. You can play it directly in your browser using the Commodore PET emulator or download it for use on compatible hardware or emulators.

Game Notes

HMAN is a version of the word game Hangman "without the gallows". I remember playing a Hangman game (in French!) with a PETSCII drawing of a little stick figure rendered piece by piece as the game progressed, so I feel like Fisher is taking the lazy way out here.

Even so, the display is clean, and the game plays well. The word list is challenging, with enough variety to encourage replay, and it's easy to add additional words to the program. Of course, because HMAN is written in BASIC, and there's no attempt to disguise the dictionary, you can always sneak a peek at the game's vocabulary to improve your guessing strategies.
