Blue dolphin arcade game

Each of them also have their own pet dolphins, which are blue and pink, respectively. The premise was almost definitely inspired by Waterworld , a movie released a decade earlier. The land sections are the most reminiscent of games such as Metal Slug. The above water sections are auto-scrolling as players ride their dolphin above the waves, and are similar to the vehicle stages in Contra.

And the underwater sections are much slower and similar to horizontal shoot-em-ups. Enemies range from standard ground troops to armored tanks and even battleships and dropships. Like Metal Slug , you can also stab enemies if they get close enough.

In addition to your equipped weapon, you can also use a special attack. On land, your character dashes forward, launches up in the air, and shoots a few missiles at the enemy.

The game is set in the future and it appears a major incident has transformed what used to be a peace-filled nation into a troubled land of waste and ruin. What exactly has happened in this land remains unknown but whatever it was, it has damaged the earth's surface. Now the entire location is immersed in water. Our gallant heroes must now protect the earth's remains from the dastardly evil empire that are planning to take over the world. Dolphin Blue is an action side-scrolling shoot-em up with great graphics, super sound and gripping gameplay that will leave you sitting on the edge of your dolphin!
