Hangman's Hazard was being sold as a word game with a twist in a 1992 issue of RUN magazine from the US. The game was sold on disk, but it seems that this is one that either didn't sell that well or never got fully released.
It was being pushed in particular as being a title suitable for parties and get togethers due to the oversized graphics in the game.
At present nothing of the game seems to have been preserved, but luckily Craig Colab (creator of the game) got in touch with the following to say:
"I was super-impressed that you made an effort to puzzle out what the game might be like, with it's claim of "oversize graphics". I would like to tell you more about it, since it is - as a Canadian reviewer stated - "The one that tops all the others!" In the realm of hangman-based games, of course.
Anyway, I will probably have the time tomorrow to put together an informative email and some screen shots. Since I only sold about two dozen copies thru mail order, Hangman's Hazard probably does qualify as a GTW."
So we are now very hopeful that something of the game can be preserved and salvaged for the website!
Watch this space!
