Hairy Harry (2004)

by Martin Stich & Michael Zeile

"Hairy Harry" is a great arcade beach volleyball game. It has three different difficulty modes, one-player, two-player and multiplayer mode and it comes along with many different translations.

But best thing is that there are many different themes you can download and choose from. Some of them just have different backgrounds and sounds, but some of them have also different sprites and animations or even special ball physics (International Karate and Mantis Fight themes are definitely recommended). So with this great variety of themes the game won't get boring too soon.

Features (according to the developers):

* Simple and fun gameplay
* Editable characters with many different hairstyles
* Very funny-looking dynamically moving hair
* Three different singleplayer modes
* Multiplayer via tcp/ip network
* Realistic ball physics
* Game statistics
* 4 player mode ( 2 human vs. 2 human via network )
* Optional adaptive speed ( game gets faster during one rally )
* User definable themes: define new graphics, hairstyles, sounds, and colors
* New themes can be selected/downloaded directly in the game
* Game update ( reminds you of new versions of the game )
* Mulit-language support

And just in case that you wonder what a volleyball game has to do with hair, here's the answer of the developers: "Nothing, we just thought the moving hair looks kinda cute." ;)

  I bow myself in shame when I look at your score (as I wasn't even able to beat the hairy mode) and declare yourself master of Hairy Harry!!!

  15:7, hairy, with adaptive speed.
  
  Who's better?

  Ok, Ive found adaptive and turbo options, but game still speeds up and slows down for unknown reasons.
  
  After disabling adaptive I was finally able to beat Hairy and, what I loved most, to beat most touches and run records. Dont remember exactly, but it is now somewhere around 80 touches from both sides and over one minute of groundtouchless play...

  Things are complicated.
  
  I usually play only two themes which I like most - default and ik+. Ik+ seems to be most buggy. In both themes game speeds up when ball is longer in air. After 20 or so touches it becomes almost impossible to win. Dont know if it is made on purpose or it is a bug. Looks like bug.

  
  
  You know that there are two options called "Adaptive speed" and "Turbo"? I think you should disable them both...

  One more thing. Happened twice, couldnt reproduce it later. Dont remember theme. Players from both sides were suddenly hanged above the ground on some invisible hook and I wasnt able to touch the ball. Comp player either. We were both able to jump, but the ball was almost impossible to touch. It looked like players were moved to different screen "dimension". HORRIBLE BUG.
  
  Hate to write all this in here, but it's true...

  Was that in a special theme or the classic?

  Unfortunately, game is buggy. It slows down or speeds up, depending on I dont know what. It once slowed down so much that I was able to beat comp on hairy level. Another time, it became so furious that I could barely touch the ball on medium level. It also crashed one or two times.

  A very good arcade volleyball game which is great fun to play. There are many different themes (and in some even the ball physics change) and three difficulty modes that are really playable (none of them is too easy or too hard).
  
  There is One-Player and Two-Player mode and the only thing I whished for is a tournament mode. After a while it gets a bit boring to play a single match over and over again
