Skull & Crossbones is an action game released in 1990 for the Nintendo NES. Players take on the role of a pirate navigating through dangerous waters and enemy territories. The main objective is to collect treasure chests while avoiding or defeating rival pirates and various sea creatures.
The pacing of the game is steady, requiring strategic movement and timing to progress through increasingly challenging levels. A unique mechanic in Skull & Crossbones involves using a limited supply of cannonballs to defeat enemies and break obstacles, adding an element of resource management to the typical action gameplay.
One unusual idea in the game is the combination of ship-based combat and on-foot exploration, allowing players to switch between sailing and ground engagements. This dual approach offers a distinctive experience compared to standard action titles on the NES, emphasizing both navigation and combat skills.
