Ah, Pirates of Dark Water—a blast from the past. This one’s a side-scroller for the Genesis based on that weirdly cool cartoon from the '90s. You play as Ren, swinging your sword through jungles and pirate ships, dodging traps and fighting off creatures that look like they crawled out of a fever dream.

The controls are simple—slash, jump, climb ropes—but some of those platforming sections? Brutal. And the art style nails the show’s vibe, all dark blues and eerie greens. Just don’t expect a deep story; it’s mostly about hacking your way to the next screen.

Honestly, it’s rough around the edges, but if you grew up with the cartoon or love janky retro action, it’s got charm. Just be ready for some frustration when the hit detection decides to take a nap.
