Description

"Man Overboard!" is an action-packed puzzle game developed for the Sega Game Gear, released exclusively in Europe in 1994. The game centers around the character Kevin Codner, a rescue boat captain whose mission is to save sailors who have gone overboard in treacherous sea waters. Players navigate through increasingly complex levels, maneuvering their boat to pick up stranded sailors and dodging obstacles like sharks, whirlpools, and enemy vessels. The game features multiple stages, each with its own set of challenges and a progressively harder set of conditions under which players must operate their rescue boat.

The gameplay mechanics in "Man Overboard!" incorporate elements of both real-time strategy and puzzle-solving, requiring players to think quickly and plan their route efficiently to be successful. Each level is timed, adding a sense of urgency that compels players to make swift decisions. This title is notable for its use of the Sega Game Gear’s color display, presenting vibrant sprites and detailed animations that enrich the visual experience. Despite its limited release, "Man Overboard!" gained a cult following due to its unique blend of strategy and arcade action, standing out as a distinct and engaging offering in the Game Gear's library.
