I enjoyed playing this game during the GENESIS days.

The game plays like a platformer and the story is about a surfer guy named 'Greendog' who is surfing one day and he gets wiped out by a wave and after he recovers,he discovers a pendant around his neck and he cannot pull the pendant off and suddenly a busty blonde woman in a bikini shows up and she explains the pendant is cursed and if Greendog goes near any living creature while wearing the pendant,the creatures will go crazy and attack him.She explains the only way to remove this curse is to find six pieces of a treasure.

So Greendog goes searching for some tropical locations,underwater areas and urban areas in search of the six treasure pieces.

Greendog can throw a disc as a projectile weapon.He can use special attacks a limited amount of times.Animals and people will go crazy and attack Greendog when he walks near them so Greendog will need to use his disc weapon to fight them off.During platforming segments,falling into water can result in fish biting him.The platforming segments have pitfalls and there's skating segments too(that have pitfalls and obsticles/enemies dodge.

Basically all you need to do is make it to the end of the levels but there is boss fights and I think the game is a bit on the difficult side because it's easy to lose health from animals and there is places you can lose a lot of health easily and during the underwater sections you'll only have a limited amount of oxygen but you don't want to rush through them too much because you don't want to get hit by enemies or bosses.

The graphics werevery nice for there time.There's nice blue water,palm trees and tropical style vegetation,beach sand,and there's ancient cities that are underwater that you'll explore.

The music is very relaxing and suits the mood of tropical enivonments.

I really liked this game a lot during the 16-Bit days.
