Hangman was one of the eleven Atari 2600 titles that were part of the second wave of games released in 1978. It is based on the old words guessing game played with paper and pen. The player msut guess which letters compose a word. Every wrong guess adds to the diagram of a man being hung, or in the case of this game, a monkey hanging from a bar. Eleven wrong guesses ends the game. Games can be played as one or two player games, and different grade levels of words. Two players can even provide the words for one another.

Bloody word games.
Alphabet scrolling sounds is a bop.
As an electronic version of Hangman from 1978 I don't think this is too bad despite the six-letter limit.
But I gotta say, I feel absolutely terrible for any parent whose kid had this. Get a correct letter? High-pitched beep noise that can be heard throughout the house, because kids don't know what volume control is. Get a letter wrong? You get a noise that resembles something similar to a semi-truck passing a kidney stone.
BRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
That's my written impression of this noise and I think I got more fun spamming letters to get the dumb noises than actually playing the game, which says a lot about me as an adult. Maybe I'll stop this review here now and avoid burying myself even worse.
