THE PIRATES OF DARK WATER (SUPER NINTENDO SNES)

The Pirates of Dark Water was also released for the Super NES and Sega Genesis platforms, both published by Sunsoft. The Super NES version is a side-scrolling beat 'em up in the style of Capcom's Final Fight, co-developed by Japanese and American staff, where players can choose to play as Ren, Tula or Ioz and continue to fight Bloth's gang. Up to two players can play simultaneously. Each character has a draining desperation attack (spinning kick for Ren, ecomancer energy for Tula, and spinning punch for Ioz) and the ability to block – something rare in games of this genre. The Genesis version, developed by Team Iguana (later known as Acclaim Studios Austin), is a side-scrolling platformer with RPG elements. A Pirates of Dark Water role-playing game was released in 1994 but had a limited production run.

Niddler was parodied in Darkside of Xeen in 1993, as Nibbler the Monkeydog, who loved Monga Melons.
