Treasure of the Caribbean
Description
Three pirates, sailing the Caribbean in search of treasure, settle on a civilized way to do battle: puzzle matches. Gameplay is very similar to the classic Puyo Puyo; are given control of pairs of two ghosts of various colours falling down the screen, with the goal of combining four or more ghosts of the same colour. Like in other puzzle games, once a chain is formed the pieces will disappear, and players are encouraged to go for long combos. Completing combos sends gravestones over to the other player's side; like in Puyo Puyo, these garbage blocks exist to get in the way and make forming combos harder. There are three playable pirates, each with unique attack patterns: Erick, Jeanne, and Franck. There are also three core gameplay modes: CPU Battle, a standard arcade mode featuring very brief story scenes before each battle against the computer; Time Attack, for one or two players; and a versus mode for two players.

Trivia
Origins
Originally developed by FACE with a planned release of 1994, but cancelled for unknown reasons; it was last seen in the September 1994 AM Show. The 2011 NCI/Le Cortex release was based on a partial set of original assets and designs, and so was largely reworked from scratch.
