Developed and published by UPL in 1990
I have a vague memory of seeing this weird, top-down fantasy slash 'em up in an arcade back in the day, although I never actually played it.
Vandyke is a kind of mash-up between Golden Axe and Commando. It's probably not the most well-known coin-op, but it offers some uncomplicated button-mashing fun, at least until you have to take down some of the bosses.
Perhaps the most interesting thing about the game is the sound. The developers seem to have used the weirdest sound effects for the enemies, with toads sounding like ducks quacking, and the bats seem to pant and wheeze like Mutley, Dick Dastardly's canine sidekick.
