Captain MaCaw

This is a nice little nostalgia-inducing game that should appeal to all fans of Speccy type games, especially Dizzy. However, this has the advantage of: puzzles that make sense (mostly), infinite lives, save points, some nice music and achievements. The save points are a welcome addition, that make completing the game possible. Overall - great game that's fun to play for a few hours. I heard there's a sequel, so looking forward to that.

Captain MaCaw is a throwback to the great 8-Bit puzzle adventures such as Codemasters' Dizzy series. Great puzzles and a Piratey story are carried along by a touch of humour and earworm-inducing melodies. The ZX Spectrum palette has even been used to add to the nostalgia. Infinite lives and a save option are available so you're also much more likely to see the ending too. This game is a hidden gem!

If Tigger was a pirate he would be Captain MaCaw, this guy must have springs for legs the amount he loves to bounce about all over the place, a brilliant little game a labour of love you could say to the spectrum days and dizzy egg ect, easy to follow, funny, some nice puzzles and puns, completely xbox controller compatible, did i mention the soundtrack? Go on mention the soundtrack... it will be stuck in your head for days while you are bopping around your house, this review is all over the shop or well island in the case of Cap adventures aplenty reminding me of treasure island go on give it a go you won't regret it as long as he doesn't suddenly meet Seaman Stains or Master Bates in his next adventures but you never know who might turn up.. 10/10
