The book of course is a brilliant read, and a must for anyone who grew up with Mastertronic games in the 1980s, but over the past week or so I've been addicted to the game Hammer Down. The best way to describe it is a top-down version of the classic Mastertronic game Action Biker. In fact, I believe the author of the game (the late Jason Kelk) was trying to mix the gameplay of Action Biker, with the top-down-view graphic style of The Last V8.
Anyway, the game is wonderful and I can't praise it enough, with great graphics and an awesome SID rendition of "The Return of the Las Palmas 7" by Madness playing in the background.
Anyway, through a lot of playing I managed to beat the game and locate all the items and bonuses and I have included the map here. Hopefully, other people will find it useful, especially if they're having trouble locating an item.
Items are identified as stars, and the bonuses are indicated by numbers in blue circles. The map loops around, and you should be able to see where one end of the maps leads to the other end.
The game can be obtained from Psytronik's website here
The book (and many others) can be purchased from Fusion Retro Book's website here.
