Dynamite Dux is a game developed by Sega's AM2 division for their Sega System 16 Arcade board. It was later ported to Sega's Master System and numerous other home computer systems available at the time. It follows two anthropomorphic blue and red ducks named "Bin" and "Pin" respectively as they attempt to rescue a girl called Lucy from the clutches of the evil Sorcerer Achacha.
Dynamite Dux is a beat 'em up game, though rather than relying purely on one-on-one combat the ducks can equip themselves with a variety of weapons, from water pistols to bazookas. The game is also populated with a variety of odd looking enemies and bosses.
Bean the Dynamite, a character from AM2's later Arcade title Sonic the Fighters is based off Bin and Pin. He also appeared in the Sega Saturn title Fighters Megamix, and there is an unlockable Bin costume for him in that game.
During home conversions of the game, the story was often altered. The Master System port for example removes Pin entirely, claiming Bin was the boyfriend of Lucy, transformed into a duck. In other versions, Bin and Pin are Lucy's pets.
