CutThroat Island on the Game Boy is one of those old-school pirate adventures that feels rough around the edges but weirdly charming. You're basically swinging swords, boarding ships, and hunting treasure—exactly what you'd expect from a mid-90s licensed game based on that forgotten pirate movie.

The controls are a little stiff (classic Game Boy combat), but once you get used to it, there's something satisfying about dueling enemy pirates in pixelated sword fights. The ship battles are clunky but kind of fun—you maneuver your vessel, fire cannons, and then jump onto their deck for hand-to-hand chaos.

Honestly, it’s not the deepest game, but if you’re into retro pirate vibes and don’t mind some jank, it’s a decent way to kill an afternoon. Just don’t expect a hidden masterpiece.
