Daiku no Gen San 2 – Akage no Dan no Gyakushuu is a 1993 action-platformer developed by Irem for the NES. Known to some fans as Hammerin’ Harry 2, this Famicom-exclusive sequel has you taking up your giant wooden mallet to rescue your kidnapped girlfriend and father from your rival, Dan the Red.
How to Play
Guide Gen through eight side-scrolling stages, using your mallet to defeat enemies and clear obstacles. The game mixes traditional platforming with occasional shoot-’em-up segments where you ride a flying hammer. Boss encounters typically involve fighting Dan the Red in various mechanized vehicles.
Default NES Controls: Use the Arrow Keys to move and crouch, Z to jump (A Button), X to swing your hammer (B Button), and Enter to pause (Start).
Tips
- Your hammer can deflect many enemy projectiles. Swing exactly when a projectile reaches you to send it back.
- During the flying stages, you have full directional movementโfocus on navigating through the bullet patterns rather than rushing to deal damage.
