Spinmaster is a platform/beat 'em up arcade game developed and released by Data East in 1993. The story follows the main character Johnny and his sidekick Tom as they battle their way through treasure-seeking, mad scientist, Dr. De Playne's henchmen in a quest to save Johnny's girlfriend Mary and get their hands on a hidden treasure. Both playable characters are armed with yo-yos but can also upgrade to other weapons (such as throwing stars, icicle daggers and guided missiles) to defeat all enemies and help them open treasure chests.

Also, Spinmaster's gameplay, artwork style, animations of some characters and the styles of its weapons were heavily inspired by another arcade game by Data East titled Joe & Mac, according to the Japanese Miracle Adventure'' arcade flyer.

After Data East became defunct due to its bankruptcy in 2003, G-Mode bought the intellectual rights to the Neo Geo game, as well as most other Data East games, and licenses them globally.
