GameplayRedjack had several different engines implemented into the game, the main engine was rotatory 3D engine, used for the main exploration and adventure. When the character gets into a fight, the game loads a new engine for fighting characters, generally one-on-one. There are also different screens, such as when concocting a volatile drink, shooting from a cannon on a speeding cart on tracks, figuring out a color system to make a pair of doors open, and several others. PlotYou play a young blond-haired man named Nicholas Dove who inhabits Lizard Point. You are being pressured by many people who are close to you to make something of yourself and you decide to join a pirate crew in order to make your living. You meet a pirate named Lyle who tells you that the captain is hiring men because he lost some in an "accident", Lyle also saves you from some cutthroat assassins. Captain Justice only hires those that are generally brave enough to form his crew and dares you to kill a shark and it is a must to be able to fight. After killing the shark (with poison) and finding a sword and learning to fight from the drunken pirate Lyle, you may return to him and join the crew. After taking the pirate's oath, you are free to roam the ship and you meet Sullivan, who admits to you that she is in fact a woman disguised as a man. When you set port in Port Royal, you are given a watch by Captain Justice so as not to be late getting back to the ship. You visit Erzulie who tells you of your future. You then witness the murder of Captain Justice by assassins and you are blamed for it as you are in possession of his watch. After escaping from prison you are captured by Bone and saved later on by Lyle who manages to get you marooned on a desert island with Sullivan, who was found out. You wash ashore onto Redjack Island where you explore the island and get inside a monument of sorts and find out that Redjack is there, sitting dead watching the ocean. You light a fire signal and are found by a balloon ship. You are then taken to Blackbeard's fortress and request an audience with him after making him a drink. He tells you a little about the mythology of the brethren but is knocked unconscious in the middle of it by Bone and his men. You fight the men and kill Bone and set sail for Cartagena. You enter the city through a secret sewer entrance and get inside the building, you free your captive friends, Elizabeth and your brother, who you find trapped in cages, you then enter the Viceroy's room and get captured by a man named Marquez, who turns out to have been Redjack's betrayer. After breaking up the reunion of the brethren, Marquez included, you fight his men and then later rescue Anne and kill Marquez, then going on to sink the Spanish fleet and rescuing Blackbeard and you then find treasure at the wreckage of Redjack's ship. Characters
DevelopmentAccording to Jack Neely of Metro Pulse, developer CyberFlix had Redjack "on the drawing board for years" in various forms as it developed other games, such as its 1996 hit Adventure Out of Time.[1] PC Gamer US reported in early 1995 that the game, then called RedJack's Revenge, was being created concurrently with Titanic and was "in the early stages" of development.[2][1] Despite the other pirate-themed games of the period, a writer for the magazine noted that "Cyberflix feels the outlaw spirit and mysterious lives of these roguish individuals just hasn't {{sic}} been given the full attention they deserve." The game was set for release in the fall of 1995.[2] Ultimately, it did not launch until September 22, 1998.[3] In February 1996, the magazine reported that Red Jack's Revenge had been pushed back to a late-1996 launch, alongside Titanic, and was set to be a musical.[4] This version of the game had a lighthearted tone, with songs written by CyberFlix composer Scott Scheinbaum, among others. CyberFlix ultimately reworked the project after its musical version was "laughed out of a focus group", according to artist Jay Nevins. As a result, the team opted instead for a more serious theme, a redesign that delayed Redjack past its earlier ship date.[1] Reception{{Video game reviews| CGW = {{Rating|2|5}}[5] | PCGUS = 58%[6] | PCZone = 75/100[7] | rev1 = Macworld | rev1Score = {{Rating|4|5}}[11] | rev2 = MacAddict | rev2Score = "Spiffy"[8] | rev3 = Next Generation | rev3Score = {{Rating|3|5}}[9] | rev4 = Computer Games Strategy Plus | rev4Score = {{Rating|3|5}}[10] | rev5 = MacHome Journal | rev5Score = {{Rating|3.5|5}}[11] }} Jack Neely of Metro Pulse wrote in October 1999, "RedJack didn't sell nearly as well as hoped; its total sales may have been as little as 10,000 nationwide, hardly 1 percent of Titanic{{'}}s success."[12] Macworld{{'}}s Michael Gowan wrote that Redjack "features a good story line, slightly rough language, and arcadelike swordplay that's a bit too hard to master." He summarized it as an "enjoyable pirate adventure".[13]The editors of The Electric Playground nominated Redjack for their 1998 "Best Adventure Game" award, which ultimately went to Grim Fandango. Shoeless Lyle earned a runner-up position for the publication's "Best New Game Character" prize as well, but lost to Aya Brea of Parasite Eve.[14] {{-}}External links
