A combination which demands some hefty stick work and quick thinking. On top of the drilling he will need to climb ladders, find keys, use magic potions, avoid teleports, dodge enemies, leap over invisible blocks, stay away from traps and still be well enough to reach the exit within the generous time limit.

Hammer has to collect all the treasure from every level before he can leave. So, drill work has to be fast and precise. If he is unlucky enough to be standing where a destroyed block reappears though, he dies. These then disappear for a few seconds, allowing him access to what lies below: normally other drillable blocks or a hunk of treasure. Certain blocks can temporarily be destroyed if he drills them, which is a simple matter of pressing the fire-button. The world Hammer inhabits is of the platform-and- ladders variety, but with one major difference. Can a corporation chap cut it as a cute computer character though? A thorough professional, he brings the obligatory baggy jeans, hard hat and road drill in for the job. For some reason Hammer and his pneumatic weapon have been sent to raid a horde of treasure filled crypts. It's Hammer time! PP Hammer that is, council worker and archaeological vandal, not the duf rapper.
