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. |
