Daiku no Gen-San 2 for the Famicom is a direct sequel to the previously released Daiku no Gen-san (released outside of Japan as Hammerin' Harry) and unfortunately does not hold up to the original game. This would be the last Famicom release published by Irem and the last to be developed by Micronics who at this point rebranded as Khaos.

Over 30 years later, the game would officially be reissued on NES courtesy of Retro-Bit, albeit unlicensed.
