Spinmaster is a 1993 platform video game developed and published by Data East for the Neo Geo arcade and home platforms. It is the first game developed by Data East for the Neo Geo. Its character designs are almost identical to the ones in Data East's Sega Genesis game Dashin' Desperadoes; however, the rest of both games are completely different. 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.
The game was later re-released on the Virtual Console in Japan on August 3, 2010, the PAL region on November 12, 2010 and in North America on November 22, 2010. Hamster Corporation re-released the game as part of their ACA Neo Geo series for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and Windows.
