Okay, so Daiku No Gensan is this weird little Game Boy gem where you play as a construction worker—except your job is to demolish ghosts instead of buildings. You’ve got this hammer, right? And you just go smacking floating spirits in these haunted houses while dodging their attacks. Feels like a mix of Ghostbusters and a platformer, but with that janky, satisfying Game Boy physics where every hit has weight.

The first level throws you straight into it—no handholding. You’re climbing ladders, smashing windows to find hidden items, and figuring out which ghosts take one hit and which ones need a proper combo. The music’s got that classic tinny charm, and the sprites are surprisingly expressive for a monochrome screen. One ghost literally just floats there menacingly with these big, empty eyes. Creepy in the best way.

It’s not just mindless whacking, though. Some rooms have puzzles—like you’ll need to trap a ghost by breaking the right wall or timing your swings so they don’t swarm you. Mess up, and you’re down to your last life real quick. Honestly, half the fun is laughing at how absurd the concept is while secretly sweating during the boss fights. If you dig obscure retro games with personality, this one’s a blast.
