Hammerin’ Harry – known in its Japanese homeland as Daiku no Gen-san, or” Gen the Carpenter” – begin as an arcade game by Irem that soon spun off into several different incarnations. The real star of the game, of course, is the hero’s gigantic hammer, which, in addition to pounding enemies into submission, also has a number of various uses, which different from game to game.
In many ways, Hammerin’ Harry is sort of like a modern day version of Mystical Ninja / Goemon – both involve slightly absurd renditions of Japanese society, although Harry has a bit less mysticism. It’s no wonder that the series rarely saw light in the USA, perhaps coming off as “too foreign”. Although the first games in the series keep to fairly realistic settings, later games go all crazy and have Harry fighting ghosts or sending him into outer space. After retiring from the world of video games, he began starring in a number of pachinko games, before leading to his resurgence as the star of a 2008 PSP game.
Hammerin’ Harry begins with the Rusty Nail Construction Company demolishing Harry’s home. (Why, exactly? Well… hmmm.) He sets off to exact retribution with his sole remaining possession – a gigantic hammer. In addition to whacking things, you can use the hammer as a shield by ducking, or smash the ground with it, causing a minor earthquake which can stun most enemies on the screen. Each stage is usually littered with objects – boxes, bricks, etc – which can be whacked and sent flying across the screen, damaging enemies in the process. There’s one part where you can hit a mountain of pipes, which then roll across the screen, fall in the water, and act as platforms to continue. None of this is scripted either – it’s a very cool early implementation of physics.
Like many arcade games of old, particularly ones from Irem, Harry can only take a single hit before dying, sending him back to the most recent checkpoint. It’s tough, but not as tough as earlier Irem titles like Ninja Spirit or Legend of Hero Tonma. And thankfully, unlike, say, R-Type, the checkpoints are reasonably close together, so you’re rarely sent back more than a few screens. You’ll occasionally find power-ups, like helmets, which can absorb a single hit; chili peppers, which allow you to swing your hammer in a circle; and POW icons, which grant you an extra big ass hammer. The game’s only six stages long, and while there are plenty of cheap hits, it manages to be challenging without being extraordinary frustrating. The final boss is against a greedy little business who flies around in a hovering wheelchair and attacks by throwing deadly dollar bills. There’s some kind of message about the evils of greed in here somewhere, but damned if anyone can figure it out.

Ghostbusters II is a 1990 video game for the NES, developed by Kemco and published by Activision, based on the film Ghostbusters II. Synthesized version of songs from the film, Ghostbusters Theme and ''Higher and Higher'' are featured in the game.
Activision's game is a single-player side-scrolling game. Generally, the player controls a ghostbuster as he explores levels based on the film. The character's goal is to make his way to the museum before time runs out. Two levels involve riding around in the heroes' famous car. In another level the player controls the Statue of Liberty, shooting fireballs. The ghostbuster character is armed with unlimited supplies of slime that can be shot out of a cannon and ghost traps.
The game is noted for being exceptionally hard to complete for several reasons. The time limit and a complete lack of health bar for the character put constraints on survival. In addition, in some levels, the display scrolls to the left, which forces the player to make quick decisions. In addition, the player must successively complete the final level four times to reach the game's conclusion. The game also lacks a standard pause feature, contributing to the game's overall challenge.

The game has spawned some controversy because of its horrible Engrish in the ending. You can see a picture of it below. Another thing that made this game legendarily awful was the dreaded staircase scene.
