Its Merlin with a pirate theme and its pretty much the same code, same gameplay, same size of sprite and same graphical problems.

Merlin the Wizard is now Captain Crook the Pirate. This is the same Merlin except now the enemies clash with the background too, thus they become impossible to see and even more impossible to avoid than before, and because of that it's even worse.

Well, unfortunately this is one of the many software Pieces I HATE (bad pun, I know).
Pictures of the actual game looked quite good, but it's actually awful, color clashing, bad collision detection, etc, in fact this is the same game as Merlin and S.A.S. Combat Assault dressed with different graphics and a different theme.
Mike Westlake should have dedicated himself just to graphics, instead of coding games, maybe he would have a name for himself on the Speccy.
