Hammer Boy Overview
Hammer Boy is a DOS arcade title where the player uses a large hammer for defense. The core task involves striking enemies on the head to stop their advance and extinguishing fires hurled from the sides.
Its fundamental design draws from earlier games like Fire Attack, sharing conceptual ground with titles such as Kaboom! and Whac-A-Mole. While the premise remains consistent, progression introduces varied backdrops like a battleship, castle, or space base, each populated by thematic foes including pirates, knights, and aliens.
