Captain Comic Walkthrough - Part One

[Onikirikage]

Man, this take me back! I remember this being one of the first games I ever played on a pc, along with prince of persia, commander keen and jazz jack rabbit when I was little. The graphic and the music are still burned in my memories. And to think I never finished it... everytime I got stuck in the moonbase (freakin rolling globes...). Thank you pal! :D

[JackiePaquito]

Did not finish this myself until later years.

[JackiePaquito]

Thanks for doing this!! :D

[Experiment632]

Okay very stupid question: How do I fire the blaster? I tried pressing all kinds of buttons on the keyboard but zero luck so far. And yes I picked up the object at the very beginning.

[Hydorior]

@Experiment632 - Have you tried the NumPad? This can be a problem on notebook keyboards...

[dangleman1]

remembered this game today at work, holy shit good times indeed, all those different items you had to get, like the ''boot'' in order to jump far enough lol...and ofcoarse the crown

[Asblomma]

first pc game i played, some 20 years ago

[LeoLex07]

i think this and prince of persia on the ole 486 are my oldest gaming memories...i can chew the nostalgia right now lol....waw

[AvatarAndKataangFan]

The sound effects remind me of Donkey Kong Country for my GBA.

[PanORotta]

this is hardest fucking game i have ever played in my entire fucking life!

i couldnt even beat 1st level without performing flying glitch.

[coffeeishappiness]

I love you man. This was the first game I ever played back in pre-school. Had no clue what I was doing but had fun playing it. X,D

[joblagz]

i never got to 2:12 ever

[rbellev]

Lol at 9:40 when you backpedal in tambi at a difficult spot cause you didn't get the teleport ward. :smug:

(All seriousness tho, excellent vid, love the nostalgia.)

[Patrick23DiGi]

where can i get this game today lol

[Phoenix1985Dave]

I spent my years between 4 and 6 on this game...this is where I honed my mad rage quitting skills...

[superfahd]

Ah yes! Captain comic! where you drank cola to shoot fireballs and every single living being was trying to kill you!

[BozoTheBear]

mate, i played this as a youngster. it absolutely was an important part of my life. good work for uploading this. i love you.

[M0ullerDigital]

I figured out a hack for this game about twenty years ago. If you pause the game (I think with Esc.) and unpause with the fire button, the enemy on the screen will die.

[saiyajingabe]

Blast from the past. First ever game I played on PC. This and Commander Keen made my day complete...sad to say.

[sorryse2]

I wonder: when will there be a captain comic 3?

[sillygostly]

@sorryse2 : There won't. We'd be lucky if Michael Denio had the initiative to release the NES version of Captain Comic on the Wii's Virtual Console service, let alone a full blown sequel.

[903harman]

@sorryse2 there was a 2nd?! i remember playing this it was fun :)

[elenafromitaly]

How much I loved this game.... It's the first videogame of my life...

[FinalWish7]

Oh my god this brings back so many memories

[Freeman8268]

Yeah this game is awesme

[predcon1]

The game itself was meant to be an experiment, to prove that a full-color, four-way scrolling EGA game could be done on PC/IBM compatibles. I think Denio was focused more on making the game functional than anything else. It's why Captain Comic 2 was a better game.

[Danoft]

Hated that beehive part

[Urdalibertine]

I actually finished this game.

One of the few games I finished as a kid.

[rowancv]

OH MY GOODNESS the sights and sounds!! this makes me extremely nostalgic, as many hours of my childhood were spent trying to beat this game (in vain LOL). THANK YOU for posting this up! glad i found it :-) God bless!

[rowancv]

OH MY GOODNESS the sights and sounds!! this makes me extremely nostalgic, as many hours of my childhood were spent trying to beat this game (can't remember if i did or not though lol). THANK YOU for posting this up! glad i found it :-) God bless!

[mhonkieys]

Holy crap I remember playing this on our 386 this and math blaster.

[redalertasy1]

Wow, This is the first video game I ever played, and i remember it being so frustrating to me being 4 years old at the time lol. I was thinking about it not too long ago and i wondered if anyone had it posted. you made my night man. So many good memories

[sillygostly]

@redalertasy1: My pleasure, man. My memory's fuzzy, but Captain Comic was definitely one of the first games I'd ever played back on my crummy old 286. =D

[GSeward]

Ha, my cousins had this game on their computer...and I never realized (until now) that the theme song is the Marines theme "Halls of Montezuma"

[sillygostly]

Wow. Good ear. That's nuts. I ought to add it to my playlist now as a sign of my allegiance to Captain Comic. XD

Loving the trivia, guys. =D

[wwetnasux]

I liked the PC version more than the NES version (1. the PC version came first, and 2, the NES version was less challenging

[katnissen]

and magically he's back on earth.

[katnissen]

dont get me wrong, I love the game, I just find these things weird

[katnissen]

Now this is Captain Comic. Not the NES version. I haven't played it, on NES, but the graphics just look TOO good on NES. It's just wrong.

[katnissen]

that space ship is fast as shit!

[adamrawksyourworld]

That seaside level (where this player dies the first time) was my fav :D Childhood memories!

[battybuddy]

I loved this game, and it took me countless HOURS trying to beat it... and when I did it was so satisfying. :D

[Kuula10]

This was nice game when i was young played it alot i remember teleport "wand" :)

[Hippodill]

Great nostalgic music!

But WHY is there only ONE difficulty; "Horrible hard"?!

[PolloTheChicken]

i loved ths game, i wish i could get it on my mac :( ???

[tkdtytto]

Yeah, the Alley Cat! :D All time favorite!

*nostalgia*

[sillygostly]

Dear, oh dear. Where did the time go?

[tkdtytto]

oh I loved this game when I was a kid!

I also played the Prince of Persian, "cat game", "Supaflex"... :D

[sillygostly]

Do you mean "Alley Cat"?

I loved that game. =D

[Esther226]

I finished this game when I was 4.....neither my parents or my brother were able to get past the first level.

[junkyardnut]

Duke Nukem is also good!  to the last one "Plutoniium:" that require Pentium chip or better. The latest has yet to arrive after 5 years of delays... When will it be ready to hit the stores?

[sillygostly]

It's actually titled ''Duke Nukem Forever", and it's been delayed for 13 YEARS as it's been in production since 1996 or 97 if I'm not mistaken.

Earlier this year, 3D Realms had ceased and therefore Duke Nukem Forever has been shafted, and will probably never see the light of day. :(

The good news is that the Duke Nukem Trilogy created exclusively for the DS/PSP will not be affected and are expected to be released from early next year.

[junkyardnut]

Wht is in the Trilogy?

[sillygostly]

Duke Nukem: Critical Mass

Duke Nukem: Proving Grounds

Duke Nukem: Chain Reaction

[junkyardnut]

Best Dos game of all time! I completed both Planet of Death (shareware) and the Fractured Reality (registered version)  Guess what? It took me over a year of almost daily playing to complete both. Brilliant Dos Game! Require dexerity a lot! gave my brain a real work out ! it may look childish to you unless you decide to complete it which is a big difference! Better than Mario or Donkey Kong . My other fav is StarCastle simililar to Asteroids but you circle around and around like crazy!

[gallimoreweapon]

Does anyone know where I can download this game from?

Been trying for a while now with great failure.

Thanks

[pastrychef1985]

Nostalgia!

[YourTrueKing]

I finished this one!

Couldn't finish Captain Comic 2 though.

[junkyardnut]

Finish it! I did it after a year or so! worth my wasted time though!

[imsayintho]

i remember our computer teacher back in the second grade used to have this game and oregon trail for us to play. and where in the usa is carmen san diego. hes the principal at our high school now.

[theblacksapphireuk]

omg talk about nostalgia. This was one of the first games I ever had, along with Commander Keen. I was so proud when I finished it. Looking back at it now it seems so short, but it took me ages! Thanks for uploading.

[villainousturtle]

Me too, this IS the first video game I ever played.

[Kan2209]

I never found my way out of that 5:40 place as a kid.

[JSdodgem37]

I think that's as far as I got too!

[Kan2209]

Oh MAN I USED TO PLAY THIS AT MY GRANDPAS!!! Thanks for the upload friend, truly amazing!!!!!

[vovchiko]

Cpt comic! ..and his bizarre intergalactic adventure

[ffsffs50]

this game is just legend

[siuphilip]

I only ever completed this game once ... madness

[cellpump1]

OMG i spent hours on this game and it SUCKED!

[9matsku5]

This and Prince of Persia were my favourite games when I was small. =)

[Instandhaltung]

this and prince of persia were my first videogames at all :-)

[dynamothomar]

i love the simple old games like this one and gods

[decoyoctopusra]

What's the beat called that's playing at the beginning when the word "general" flashes on the screen? It's between 0:00 and 0:10. It's really nice. XD

[lucfoerdstudios]

awesome , thanks for the memories!!!

[Blaxraptor]

i used to play this game at my friends house years and years ago, and neither of us could beat it back then (of course, we were about 7, but still).

Great memories thanks for uploading these!

[sillygostly]

My pleasure hehe.

I used to play this game all the time when I was 5.

[KungVanargand]

As a child I wanted a PC just to get this game! Once I had it, I played it for an hour, and then I found Doom. Almost forgot about my exfavorite at that time, but now it brings back so much memorys.

[Wolfie238]

I remember this game! So much fun!

Thanks for bringing back the memories :)

[wildbilljam]

Awesome, i remember being so proud when i completed this game as a kid haha!!! could'nt do it again though, one section was so confusing i just pushed buttons until somehow i got out! :0)

[DiordnaDionaraP]

loved it

[yvish]

I loved this game! it was awesome!

[Mypringles]

I remember this game. I could always beat it but it took so long. I hate the flying space cheese balls too. This game brings back memories

[skapsnoker]

the first computer game I ever played :D

[fagoboys]

what the hell is this

some hillbilly in a space helmet

[UltraBibendum]

I played this off of one of my dad's shareware CD's, then I got bored with it really quickly and played more commander keen.

[IgnatzKolisch]

My God, what a mega flashback. For some reason tonight, I just remembered this game out of the blue, thinking about beloved my aunt who passed away a few months ago (she liked this game but sucked at it). I checked and found, sure enough, a video on YouTube.

Thanks a million, this is awesome!

[paddythetinker]

dam i remember this game when i was five

[DaBossk]

man what a classic i used to play this all the time i should down load it :p someone send me a website

[Froggie666]

i completed it ages ago on a 386... and at the end it was adding points up or something? and it just went on and on and my parents told me to turn the computer off because i wasn't allowed to leave it on overnight so i dont know what happened after that! maybe it jammed!?

i cant remember how old i was but it felt like it took me ages! Like hours!

[061720]

that's cool...i played the 2nd one ALL THE TIME, and was about 80-90% through it when our computer crashed..the new one didnt have DOS...i never got to finish it....

[sillygostly]

I have the game, but I've never finished it before. A few weeks ago, I played through it a little (for the first time), but I wouldn't be able to record a walkthrough for a game that I know so little of. Maybe someday. Just don't expect it to happen anytime soon. :P

[061720]

do you have the 2nd one? Captain Comic II: Fractured Reality???

[rybnik100]

patrze na to z łezką w oku

[PeteD07]

loved this game!! i kept getting hit by the fucking birds tho. oh the memories!!!! im gonna play it right now!!!!

[illmeetyouat]

I love this game:)

[EmmaLee1988]

yeah the last time i played this i was 4 or 5! then my cousin crashed my grandmas computer so we lost it... I just found out the name of this game.

[l1ghtmaster]

Thanks !

[nelemercury]

god. that was so annoying not being able to complete it. thx for sharing :-)

[complicated06]

Haha! Captain Comic was awesome!

[solgatekeeper]

i remember this game. played it soooooo loooong agooo. brings back memories.

[ioish]

I have never been able to complete this game. After so many years, I'm eager to know how it ends :)

[Selinja]

Maaaan...must've been ages ago that I played Captain Comic, yet I never forgot. I remember the sounds, I remember the levels, I remember the music...oh, sweet memories :D

[paddythetinker]

same here, those sounds and music where firmly imprinted in my young brain

[jthamexican]

wow, I remember playing this game when I was like 4 or 5

[Mattyrock]

Hmm....lookes like a PC classic, yet kinda child's play now...

Must be hard to go to the left side to complete a level...
