I just learned of this awesome 'Harry the Handsome Executive' game, and hurried as fast as my modem would carry me to the TechWorks page. But, alas! After three days, the beta was already closed! The depression has been slowly eating away at me.... I can't stand it... I've already printed out the few screen shots around and plastered my bedroom walls with them. At every update, I tattoo the progress report to my back for all to see... I've even written my own NDA pretending that I got accepted as a tester... but I still can't handle it!

I just wanted to tell you that I've entered my code and now I can't stop! Ben is a great game developer. Definite kudos to him. As a sidebar, I am disabled and have only the use of one arm/hand. Harry is great because it can be played with only one hand. So, on a personal note, many many thanks!

You play as Harry, the Handsome Executive, destined warrior of the swivel chair. Yes, the swivel chair.. this game gets weird. You're are destined to save the world, or something to that effect. The plot isn't much more than a chance to be funny, although at that it succeeds.

Like all Ambrosia games, the art looks sharp and the animation is slick. This again translates into smooth gameplay, and in Harry's case Ben Spees has created a game in which the mechanics (aided by "GenuineSwivelChair (tm) Physics") are as novel as they are fun.

Join Harry the Handsome Executive as he scoots and kicks his swivel chair through the halls of ScumCo in this delightful action. The path to job security is fraught with many perils. Harry must avoid discomfort caused by dart-throwing middle managers, rebellious customer service drones, crazed chemists and a host of other enemies. All the while, he must maintain internal corporate favor or risk the feared P45.

Harry the Handsome Executive may have the strangest concept of any game we've seen - the hero is an office worker on a swivel chair. Marked throughout by quirky but funny humor, Harry is among the best shareware games ever released for the Mac.

Harry the Handsome Executive was hired last September and offers a wacky game that anyone working in a cubicle can enjoy. Get this- by wheeling himself around his office building in his chair, Harry has to accomplish various tasks to avoid the traumas of dart games, the mad careening mail boy, and exploding water coolers.

Those geniuses at Ambrosia Software have done it again! Harry is truly debonair as he glides on his cushy rolling chair through the hallowed offices of ScumCo, kicking in doors and dodging darts thrown by bored coworkers. This terrific game has inspired many a guffaw from the MacAddict staff during games played with the convenient excuse that we had to write something about it for our wonderful readers. Not only does it lay with popular espionage movie themes, but it pokes irreverently at the corporate culture that keeps so many of us in donuts and coffee. Ambrosia has shown us, yet again, that shareware can be synonymous with top quality and intelligent programming.

Harry is mostly a puzzle game that requires a degree of hand-eye coordination. Your job is to destroy the alien invaders who have overrun Harry's office. The hitch is that you're confined to scooting around the game in a six-wheeled office chair and office supplies are your only weapons.

Harry the Handsome Executive immerses the player in a unique and entertaining experience, one that almost anyone will love. The game leaves but one question unanswered: what kind of swivel chairs do the folks at Ambrosia use?

Dynamic, active panning stereo accentuates the cool sound effects you'd expect of an Ambrosia game. Intelligent, 360-degree scrolling facilitates navigation, without downsizing the screen. All of these factors reiterate the core concept: Harry Kicks!

Couldn't resist this new arcade-style game in the shareware files. In Harry the Handsome Executive -- from the producers of Maelstrom and Escape Velocity -- our hero must rise above his co-workers by completing Dilbert-esque chores around the office.
