{{stub}}'''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (ダイナマイトデューク) is a 1989 arcade action game by [[Seibu Kaihatsu]]. [[Sega]] acquired a license to port it to the [[Sega Mega Drive]] and [[Sega Master System]], releasing them in 1990 and 1991, respectively. Game follows mercenary Duke "Dynamite" Fredericks (renamed Colonel Duke Rippem in the Mega Drive manual)as he attempts to bring down Dr. Neil Ashe, a mad scientist who is trying to take over the world by using robots. Duke's right arm is cybernetic and apparently (according to the manual anyway) ten times more powerful than a normal human.

Dynamite Duke (ダイナマイトデューク) is a Sega Mega Drive gallery shooter game developed by Hertz and published by Sega. A port of the titular 1989 Seibu Kaihatsu arcade game Dynamite Duke, it was first released in Japan in October 1990, and was followed by a Sega Master System port courtesy of developer Sanritsu the following April.

Story

Dynamite Duke follows mercenary Duke "Dynamite" Fredericks (renamed Colonel Duke Rippem in the West) as he attempts to bring down Dr. Neil Ashe, a mad scientist who is trying to take over the world by using his legion of evil robots. Duke's right arm is cybernetic, and is stated to be ten times more powerful than a normal human arm.

Gameplay

The game plays like a lightgun game — you are Duke, positioned immediately in front of the screen, and your goal is to go around killing everything in sight. The D-pad moves your target crosshair (moving Duke in the process) and A/2 shoots (there is no rapidfire). You can also melee nearby enemies — B/1 punches and C (no Master System equivalent) kicks. Should a power-up appear, simply shoot at it to take it. Duke also has a special weapon called "Dynamite Punch" which is used by holding down the punch button and releasing it after Duke starts to glow. This causes massive damage to all enemies but can be used a few times in each level.

Each level has a boss fight in which the player must defeat a boss character in close combat.

The Master System version has less levels than its Arcade and Mega Drive counterparts by combining several levels into one. It also has less enemy types and bosses have less attack patterns, making the game much easier.

Entrance and "Incubator", (levels 5 and 7 respectively) two levels from the original game are absent from either port.

Robot Ninja enemy is also removed from both ports.

There is a secret "Super Options" screen in the Mega Drive version, which can be activated by pressing C ten times, then  START , at the screen where "Start" and "Options" are seen. Various things can be changed from this screen, the starting level (mission) inclusive.

In the Master System version, same Options screen can be activated by plugging a second controller and pressing any button.
