Description	You play the part of Quality Control Manager in an automated hat factory faced with a rather unenviable situation. A fault in the machinery has unfortunately resulted in bombs sometimes being produced instead of hats. Don't you just hate it when that sort of thing happens, shoddy workmanship I tell you! But you can't allow pesky things like calling out the health and safety executive to get in the way of hat profits, so instead stamp out the bombs in order to preserve the truckload of hats. Be careful not to blow it in this fast paced game. For if you let just a single bomb through it is sure blow the lot, and then you are certain to be as mad as a hatter. Sidenote: This game is also known as "Mega Hat Simulator ++".
Comments	I tip my hat to Gavin Callard, this game is da bomb! High resolution full colour graphics, sound and a totally insane game premise. The fact that it is a fast paced game requiring skill and good timing (i.e. not totally crap) added to the fact that we got so many entries in the compo this year means it is placed at a ranking which probably doesn't do it full justice! Heck it even comes with a highly amusing introductory blurb too. Meticulously designed graphics (like the truck and conveyor belt for example) and the flawless flicker-free animation of the hats & bombs make for a pleasant in-game environment, but in truth it's a couple of rungs above crap. Verdict: less harder next time, you must try!
