Dynamite Duke

A top scientist decides to utilise a secret formula to develop his very own army of evil mutant warriors, so he can become the ruler of the world. It is up to Dynamite Duke--a man with a cybernetic arm and a machine gun--to foil his evil plan.

In Japan, Game Machine listed Dynamite Duke on their October 1, 1989 issue as being the fourteenth most-successful table arcade unit of the month.

Mean Machines gave the Mega Drive/Genesis version a 79%, commenting that it was only visually better than the Master System version and that it "lacks lasting appeal". Levi Buchanan of IGN rated the Genesis game a 5.0 (Meh) for a dismal value, 30 minutes of play value. MegaTech magazine gave an overall score of 73 out of 100 commenting the game "provides plenty of blasting fun and frolics" and criticizes its lack of challenge. Console XS gave the Genesis an overall score of 77/100 praising the behind the shoulder gameplay perspective and the well drawn enemies although criticizing the gameplay being too easy. They also reviewed the Master system version and gave a score of 72/100 and felt the game was similar to Operation Wolf but with far superior graphics.
