Hammerin' Harry Concrete Collection (NES)

Two Hammerin' Harry NES cartridges, one slipcase, zero reasons to hesitate. The Hammerin' Harry Concrete Collection for NES brings together both of Harry's 8-bit adventures in a purpose-built collector's package that treats Irem's blue-collar hero like the platforming royalty he is.

You're getting the Hammerin' Harry Collector's Edition, featuring the 1990 arcade port released on a North American NES cartridge for the first time ever, alongside the Hammerin' Harry 2: Dan the Red Strikes Back Collector's Edition, officially translated and released outside Japan for the first time in history. Both games in their full collector's packaging, united under a special edition slipcase designed to keep them together on your shelf.

The original Hammerin' Harry sends our carpenter through five stages of Rusty Nailer demolition. The sequel doubles down with eight stages, a returning villain in Dan the Red, a mad scientist named Dr. Parallel, and a fresh English translation that took over 30 years to materialize. Together they represent Irem's complete 8-bit platforming legacy for one of their most recognizable characters.

This is the NES collection that import hunters and Irem devotees have been assembling piecemeal for decades, now available as a single, definitive set. Two cartridges, two manuals, two display-worthy packages, one slipcase tying it all together. For those of us who remember when the NES library felt like it had infinite undiscovered corners, the Concrete Collection proves there were still treasures buried in there all along. Harry finally made it stateside, and he brought his sequel with him.
