Physical releases to kick off 2024. Last year, Retro-Bit announced it was publishing licenced reissues of Hammerin’ Harry, Hammerin’ Harry 2, El Viento and Sol Deace – and we’ve been lucky enough to get sample copies of them. Released in Japanese arcades in 1990 as Daiku no Gen-san: Beranmechō Sōdōki, Hammerin’ Harry was ported to…
