Hard 'n Heavy

Intended to be a sequel to the Giana Sisters, Hard 'n' Heavy is a jump n run game released for home computer systems in 1989.

Overview

Originally meant to be a sequel to the famous Super Mario Bros. clone The Great Giana Sisters, this game was originally known as "Giana 2: Arthur and Martha in Future World". This changed due to a lawsuit, as Nintendo threatened to take legal action due to the game's deliberate similarity to their flagship franchise. Just like the The Great Giana Sisters, Hard 'n' Heavy features two heroes (Heavy and Metal) who make their way through a vertically-scrolling world consisting of 25 different and 5 hidden levels.
