Dynamite Duke

is a 1989 action arcade game developed by Seibu Kaihatsu. It was later ported to the Master System, Mega Drive/Genesis and X68000. Being a Cabal-based shooter, it can be considered a follow-up to Seibu's Empire City: 1931 and Dead Angle.

The Double Dynamites

It is a version with simultaneous 2 player support. In addition, there are other changes:
Life gauges are shown with visible bars, where Duke and bosses all have 11 bars of life.
In the English version, it is no longer possible to refill the life bar by adding credits after completing Mission 1.
With the exception of Mission 9, there are more enemies on screen, including boss battles.
In the high score entry screen, a countdown timer is shown.

Story

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 who is armed with a cybernetic arm along with a machine gun to foil his evil plan.

Gameplay

The Arcade version has 9 stages, while the Genesis version only has 6 stages.

Receptions
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.
