Cutthroat Island (video game)

As the player progresses through the game several items such as knives, bombs, bottles, torches, hammers, pistols, and other weapons are collectable.

GamePro's Sir Garnabus panned the Game Gear version, calling it "A sword fight through monotonous levels with no finale".

[3] Johnny Ballgame of GamePro similarly compared the graphics to the 8-bit Master System, and also lambasted the "button pounding" sword fights, the way the mine cart level doesn't give the player enough time to react to obstacles, the tinny sound, and the music.

While he repeated most of Johnny Ballgame's criticisms, and added that enemies and allies confusingly make the same grunting sound when hit, he found the character artwork and music to at least be decent.

[5] In October of 2018, the game's rights were acquired by Canadian production company Liquid Media Group along with other titles originally owned by Acclaim Entertainment.
