3Don Doko Don! is an arcade conversion of Taito's two player game where you hit enemies with your hammer then pick them up to throw at enemies. Failing to pick up and throw the enemies you hit will bring them back to life. The graphics are cute and it does have simultaneous multiplayer with friendly fire. Unfortunately, the hit detection is terrible and the enemies are annoying making this one of the most frustrating games I've played.
