Hammerin Harry Hammerin Harry You play the role of Hammerin Harry, a guy with a
very big hammer. You go around and bash everyone in your way. The game starts
out with some guys taking down your house and putting up a construction site.
You then get your hammer and it says "Hammer Time". Then as the level
starts, it says "Let's Get Busy" both of which should date this game
for you. You then proceed through the levels, bashing people and objects to make
your way along. One of the neat things is that you can whack an object and send
it flying at the enemies. This can really ease your job. But you are not confined to the ground only. You
can also climb up utility poles and jump up on boxes to get at or away from the
enemy. This will keep you busy as you find out what parts of the environment are
accessible and what is just scenery. The characters in the game are very large and
very cartoony. This makes the violence seem more comical as a many with a huge
hammer could be quite scary. But with these big headed guys, it seems more like
a Three Stooges short or a Warner Bros cartoon, where the violence borders on
silly. Of course as in all platformers of the era, you have a big boss at the
end of each level. While at the core, the game isn't much different
than a Mario or Castlevania or even a Legendary Axe, it is a fun little game
that really tries to be cute and fun and pretty much succeeds. So go download
the game and "Let's Get Busy!"

While this game is pretty much another
platform game from an era where platformers reigned supreme, especially on the
consoles, it is a very fun platform game. One thing this game has is a touch of
humor that is sorely missing from many arcade games. Couple this with some very
colorful and animated characters and you have a game that will bring you back
again and again.
