CutThroat Island tie-in as platform and pirate combat. Stiff animations and dated level design. Anecdotal despite the pirate license.

Collector interest

This CutThroat Island tie-in lives in the shadow of Renny Harlin's film, one of Hollywood's most notorious box-office disasters. Acclaim's Game Boy release shipped in modest numbers late in 1995, and that quiet scarcity, rather than the platforming itself, props up the price. The USA copy is the more common of the two market versions. A curiosity for collectors of failed-movie cartridges.
