Bimini Run is a third-person shooter video game for the Sega Genesis. It was developed by Microsmiths and published by Nuvision Entertainment in 1990. Bimini Run allows two player to traverse a wide scrolling environment on objective based missions.
Gameplay
The player controls the boat’s steering by Kenji and shooting a rapid-fire bazooka by Luka. The gameplay consists of moving around the map (typically, an archipelago), completing objectives and shooting enemies who stand in the way. The player instantly loses a life if hit, so maneuvering to dodge enemy fire and other obstacles is a critical skill to learn. Typical objectives include reaching and destroying certain structures on the islands or following something around the map to their destination. New objectives are received in the form of radio messages notified of by a specific sound effect.
In the pause menu, the player can see the last radio message and the map of the area with current targets marked on it.
