Hudson Hawk — About this game
Hudson Hawk on NES makes burglary a platforming problem. Eddie must work through guarded interiors, climb ropes and ladders, crawl below hazards and use furniture or crates to reach higher ledges. His softball is useful beyond combat: it can operate switches that temporarily disable electrical obstacles. Some enemies are only stunned by a hit and need a close-range punch afterward. Instead of rushing into the next screen, watch the route and learn where a switch changes the environment.
