The Pirates of Dark Water is a licensed two-player beat 'em up from Sunsoft that's based off the Hanna-Barbera cartoon show of the same name. Although its gameplay is very similar to Final Fight, it incorporates weapon attacks alongside normal punches and kicks. It's a lengthy, well-made brawler with plenty of enemies, bosses, and stages.
There's also a Genesis game called The Pirates of Dark Water, also from Sunsoft, but it's an exploratory action platformer instead. Keep an eye out for subtle racism around the third stage or so.
Pirates of Darkwater is a solid game that feels halfway between a Konami and Capcom brawler. It plays like Final Fight with weapon attacks that mainly act as combo finishers and spacers. The enemies are goofy and have decent variety. The music and sound are above average as well. Unfortunately, it's too long for its own good and drags on near the end.
