Hook

OCEAN, 1991


Based on the movie of same name, which was in turn based upon the Peter Pan children's stories, Hook begins with Peter as an adult with children of his own. As in the film, the vengeful Captain Hook kidnaps Peter's children. As Peter, your task is to defeat Hook and rescue your children. With the fairy Tinkerbell at your side, you must travel back to Never-Never Land, recover the lost memories of your youth and solve entertaining puzzles in order to prepare for your inevitable confrontation with the infamous Hook.

Despite an awkward interface and sub-par writing, the vibrant graphics and overall charm of the tale make this one a worthwhile game playing experience.
