Cutthroat Island came out for the Sega Genesis in 1995, published by Acclaim Entertainment. It was part of that wave of games based on movies, arriving right alongside the film. On a system known for its action platformers, this one tried to capture the pirate adventure feel.

You control the pirate captain Morgan, moving through levels screen by screen. Your main goal is to find the three pieces of a treasure map. You use a sword for close combat and can find a crossbow for ranged attacks. The levels are filled with traps, like collapsing floors and spike pits, and you often have to find keys to progress. The pacing is deliberate; you explore each area carefully, fighting guards and navigating hazards. It can be quite difficult, with enemies that respawn and platforming that demands precision. Playing it feels like a methodical hunt through dangerous, trap-laden locations.
