Captain MaCaw

If you were a fan of the classic cartoon adventure games of old, where you would explore cartoon kingdoms, solving puzzles, collecting objects and chatting to the locals, then this game will take you right back. More than that though, this game is a real honing of the craft. The puzzles all have a logical thread to them. You'll rarely be stuck wandering around for long as the right object or the right situation will crop up and you'll quickly put two and two together. It's a decent length and there's several different settings which you'll gradually unlock the further you play. You really can't go wrong with the price here. If you ever enjoyed a Dizzy or Magic Knight game on your humble Spec, you'd struggle not to get a kick out of this.

Great game in the style of dizzy. Lots of puzzles and charming 8 bit style graphics. Can't go wrong if you were a fan of these back in the day.

A lovely wee game in the style of Dizzy from back in the good ole 1980s.

Inscrutable and incomplete controller support, really requires keyboard to play.

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

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.
