Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Side scrolling platform games were once the rage in
gaming circles but they've been displaced by
first-person shooters. Every once in a while
however, developers revisit the old school and
create a new platform game that'll whet the
appetites of middle-aged fans. In the case of Ikuze!
Gen-San, Irem's new platformer is the sequel to a
game titled
Daiku no Gensan
aka Hammerin' Harry which hit
Japanese arcades in 1990. In that earlier game, the
protagonist Gen-San's house was completely destroyed
by a bunch of goons from an evil construction
company. To seek revenge, Gen-San took up the hammer
and sought revenge against the company. Irem's
sequel follows the same basic theme.
When a corrupt construction company (fueled by
corporate greed) overbuilds and disrupts the natural
harmony of the great outdoors, an honor-bound
carpenter rises up to put an end of the construction
boom. Armed with a hammer and gifted with agility
and moxie, the hero named Gen-San (Carpenter)
trudges through different stages and dismantles
robots, construction equipment, enemy workers, and
other agents of the company. When the occasion
calls, Gen-San can adopt the skills of eight other
professionals such as a baseball player, a sushi
chef, disc jockey, lumberjack, deep sea diver, and
more. In his baseball persona, Gen-San wears a
player's uniform and swings a bat and throws
strikes. On the flipside, DJ Gen-San is decked out
in baggy clothes and busts a move with a boombox and
LPs. He's versatile and adept like that.

Game Notes
»
Players will witness an encounter between Gen-San
and the construction company boss at the outset of
the game.
» The controls are simple and movement may be
controlled through the d-pad or the analog number.
The face button controls are as follows:
CROSS - Jump. There is no double jump.
SQUARE - Weak attack
TRIANGLE - Strong attack
Pressing down on the L-Trigger will make Gen-San lay
flat on his belly for crawling purposes but pushing
down on the d-pad will perform the same function.
» In the first house that Gen-San visits, he'll
interrupt a couple having supper. If you proceed to
the next room in the house, you'll barge in on a
thief who has a satchel full of stuff. When he
throws projectiles at Gen-San, press the "SQUARE"
button to smack them right back at him to do damage.
After a few smack backs, the thief is vanquished and
he'll leave a fish behind which may be collected.
Continue onwards and Gen-San will enter a bathhouse
that's attended by patrons as well as evil
construction workers who wield pickaxes. One hit
from a pickaxe, flying construction worker, or other
object is enough to kill Gen-San.
