The Pirates of Dark Water vs ThunderCats

Based on the animated series, this game puts you in the shoes of Prince Ren, Tula, or Ioz as they scour the world of Mer for the Treasures of Rule. Each character offers a unique balance of strength and agility, but all share the same core combat system of fast combos and heavy attacks. The game features classic side‑scrolling beat‑em‑up action with obstacles like chasms, falling rocks, and spike traps, plus a special life‑energy attack that hits multiple foes. Play solo or team up in split‑screen co‑op to take down the evil pirate Bloth and his crew.

ThunderCats is a side‑scrolling platform game that puts players in control of Lion‑O as he battles through 14 levels to recover the missing Eye of Thundera. Players can switch between the Sword of Omens and a short‑range energy gun, and pilot a flying vehicle in select stages. The game features a time‑limit mechanic that triggers Mumm‑Ra and additional enemies when it expires, adding pressure to each level. The first four levels are set in the Garden of the Elementals, allowing players to choose the order of fire, water, air, and earth themed stages.
