Rent-a-Hero, a point and click adventure game by Neo Software, later renamed to Rockstar Vienna, that fell into obscurity. In fact, it seems like when I mentioned it in various places they confused it with the Sega Genesis title. This has been quite praised, with a humour style that was compared to The Secret of Monkey Island. Considering it's subversive, self-aware humour, alongside the pirate theme, it would be safe to call this a clone. But, is it worth playing? Or it should it remain forgotten. Find out here.

The rest of the music are from the game soundtrack. Thank you to liljames2k for remastering it! Link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awv1i8RbxkU
