You control a sailor beating up pirate thugs in a pirate-themed world, much in vein of The Secret of Monkey Island. You can attack them by either punching or kicking your enemies.
Trivia Edit
- The game is a very extensive ROM hack of Vigilante, an Arcade game released in 1988 by Irem. It is the official sequel of Kung-Fu Master / Spartan X. Some major differences include:
- The dual Zilog Z80 CPUs runs at 5,68 MHz and at 3,07 MHz, which are not the standard clock-rate of Irem M75 hardware;
- Dual Yamaha YM2203 soundchips are used instead of a single Yamaha YM2151;
- The font used in Vigilante still the same, but his main color is in red instead of original orange;
- The music is different from Vigilante, as both games don't share the same theme setting;
- The voices used in the game still the same from Vigilante;
- The game is slow paced compared with the original;
- Due to that fact listed earlier, you cannot spam attacks at faster rate like in the original, which it makes the game more harder to beat;
- Air attacking is more laggy than usual;
- Common enemies die in two hits instead of one;
- Some hazards, such as explosive barrels, kills the player instantly;
- The game don't include a secondary-weapon which Vigilante included (nunchakus);
- The game was ported for the Commodore Amiga by another company, and this version seems to be undumped;
- Duintronic was a small company localized at Barcelona, Spain. This was the only game the company ever did, and little info is known about the company itself.
