Developer Credits

As with many Nice Code games, pressing Up, Down, Up, Left, Right, Left, B on the title screen will briefly display a credits screen. Nature Color Game is one of several aliases used by Nice Code, and PJ most likely refers to the Power Joy series of Famiclones which many Nice Code games have been released on.

Revisions

Two versions of the original Hammer and Nail exist which appear to be identical aside from the background music. Oddly, the version featured on the DreamGEAR 75 in 1 is 40 kilobytes in size, while the alternate version is only 24 kilobytes. The extra space in the former is completely unused.

Eidolon's Revenge

Like many Nice Code games, a version with alternate graphics and music exists. The graphics for the credits screen were replaced with new graphics, resulting in this screen being garbled.
