Hammerin' Harry
Hammerin' Harry, known in Japan as Daiku no Gen-san (大工の源さん, Carpenter Gen), is a series of platforming video games developed and published by Irem in 1990. The titles were developed and published for the arcades, Famicom, Game Boy, Super Famicom and Sony PSP platforms. The series is centered around the titular Harry (or "Genzo Tamura" in the original Japanese), a hammer-wielding carpenter who protects his hometown of Beranme from the corrupt construction companies that mean to tear it down.
The following is a list of games released in the series.
The original arcade game received positive reviews from critics. John Cook of CU Amiga gave it a 93% score. Julian Rignall of Computer and Video Games magazine gave it a 91% score. Sinclair User magazine gave it an 87% score.
The first spin-off in the series was Kizuchida Quiz da Gen-san Da! (木づちだ クイズだ 源さんだ!, It's a Mallet, It's a Quiz, It's Gen!), a quiz game released for the Game Boy on December 19, 1992, exclusively in Japan. Others were various Japan-only, pachinko machines, as well as home ports of them for PlayStation, PlayStation 2, Windows-operated PCs and Game Boy. Outside of the franchise, Hammerin' Harry was represented in a Japan-only Game Boy title, Shuyaku Sentai Irem Fighter along with three other Irem franchises: R-Type, Ninja Spirit and Battle Chopper. Hammerin' Harry can be seen on the arcade flyers of Ninja Baseball Bat Man, also by Irem.
An anime series based specifically on the PSP title Hammerin' Hero, titled as Ikuze! Gen-san (いくぜっ!源さん, Let's Go! Gen), aired on GyaO's website in March 24 until June 9, 2008. There were 24 9-minute webisodes aired. A DVD compiling the episodes was released in April 2009.
