The game that made me think I blew up the Earth as a kid

[Omnishred]

Reading your description makes me relive my overactive imagination as a child, such rich, indelible memories.

[5kehhn]

I used my c64 to blow up the world and then traveled back in time before the Earth blew up and stopped myself because I had to have a place to sleep--and nobody believes me!

[screaminggingin83]

Great description! xD <3

[AwesomeGuiber]

EPIC STORY!

[Blahdabbadoo]

So this is what ET gets up to when he leaves earth. BLOWS UP PLANETS!

[ThePinkhamsterino]

Yeah, I don't believe that story about thinking you blew up the earth. If you were that mentally challenged they wouldn't have let you touch the computer. You might have gotten drool on it.

[Blahdabbadoo]

@ThePinkhamsterino Everyone has the right to have a childhood. I know mine involved the Atari, and playing games where I had no idea wtf I was doing. Just managing to move a guy across the screen was progress for me.

[AnotherSchmoe]

@Blahdabbadoo

Same here. I was "playing" games on my dad's computers and had my own Sega Genesis (with Streets of Rage 2, awesome game) by the time I was 3 years old.

[Eldroth666]

Ah, Captain Blood. What a game! I played it a lot on my trusty Atari 520ST

[ojalaqueque]

How the game is called?

[MrKingElvis]

LMAO @ the discription

[esathegreat]

Looks very unusual for a c64 game

[critanime]

@esathegreat looks unusual and isa little on the boring side to watch. But it's actaully fun to play.

[arievanscholten]

This is a very strong concept

[DameDiabolique]

blew up the earth...?

YOU MANIAC D:< DAMN YOU!!! DAMN YOU TA HELL!!!!111one

;__;

[LOveERDos]

my friend had this in the atari st , and i was shoccked about grafic and specially sound. good times never will back again

[JeDorsBeaucoupTrop]

I've got the original. The first time I played the game I said to myself 'what a shitty one' but when I understood what to do, it was ACE !

[inphanta]

I had this on the 64 too, then I played it on my friend's Atari ST and realised how cut down the 64 version was, and that it was in fact a huge con as it only had about 15% of the original game's content.

[ZnEaKySpyNL]

i mis my commodore 64:(

[jennybabe8]

aah sucks...

[odraconiandevil79]

Yeah, Captain Blood. Great old game that I also made a vid of. I remember pressing that planet destroy button by accident!

Talk about "Don't Touch That Dial!" LOL

[HardWarUK]

This is Captain Blood. A Great game!

[Skynet307]

lol at your description. i never played this one but i had commander blood and i would tell my freinds basically the same thing. how i loved those times

[YanStofurst]

Why is it that 90% of the times there's a representation of the earth in videogames and comic book, the continent are all wrong? This ain't the earth! Where's america? Australia? What are these country? WTF

[cauffin]

duh - intergalactic copyright infringement! lol

[DevilMaster]

That's definitely not Earth, and depending on what the creator of the game had in mind, that planed is supposed to be either 15 or 158 million light years away from Earth. The game is set in the "Hydra Galaxy", which may refer to the Southern Pinwheel Galaxy (15 million light years away) or the Hydra Cluster (158 million light years away).

[Shendue]

@DevilMaster: Therefore his theory may be perfectly correct, only he blew up another planet. XD

[mmfhl]

i used to play this one all the time!

[fardeejay]

Ofc than a person named like you will think such a thing.

[TOJoe3000]

Wow, my imagination must have been much better back then.

This would bore me to tears inside of 5 mins these days.

[mmfhl]

this game deserves a next-gen remake.

[bachterman]

winners save the planet, everybody knows that ;)

the game's called captain blood btw, but you put the name in the tag, so never mind.

[lonesomepoetxi]

I remember playing this on my 1040ST. it was so awesome .

[kyleashley]

great story , its amazing how our minds work as a kid!...

[Timsalt3100]

I seriously never got this game even after playing it for like 4 hours

[blooqkazoo82]

I agree, and watching it now, I still don't get it...lol.

[leer5858]

i had this game when i was young, you get the alien in the ship too

[nephildevil]

hahaha awesome story there :)

[J0cked]

It worries me a bit that you obviously had no problems going around in space blowing up other real planets : P

[MadsterV]

how old were you? O_O

[BVargas78]

You blew up the earth? Dammit, now were gonna have to send a team back in time to prevent your mum and dad from ever meeting! :(

[philipriding]

i know what you mean. I blew up earth and thought oh my god what have i done, and i couldnt sleep, and still cant, coz u dont know if the game was set in the year 2008.

[zackpack13]

when i seen the fist part i sead ya

[Jaybon95]

NOOOO, U BLEW IT UP!!!! wow, cool game, i wish there was a more advanced game like that.

[J0cked]

Noctis for the PC is a bit like this.

[Shendue]

I had this game for PC, it was very original and extremely atmospheric.

The game booklet said you were the only human on the ship, whose organs were slowly been replaced with synthetic ones because of you getting old and older, your only companion an artificial AI.

The ship itself and many of the weapons were biomechanical.

[BionicChango]

Love the story.

It's strange to think about it now, but when I was a kid, computer games were mysterious things. I didn't know how they worked, why they did what they did, or anything.

The first game that ever asked me for my name to record a high score was Felix in the Factory. I typed "Felix", thinking it was a test and another part of the game.

[humanvynil]

hahahaha excellent!!! So felixn how u been doing? that's exactly the way games should be played! as for me, i could hardly understand anything to most of the adventure games either, but i just loved the atmospheres, the moods. i remember a feodal-like adventure game of which i don't know the name anymore. ùy favourite concerning the atari st platform

[amplebits]

its called Captain Blood

[dfr343]

Where did you get that game?

[ShinigamiKiba]

Commodore 64 ROMs are extremely easy to find, dude. I'm not sure if it's against the youtube ToS to post links here, but trust me these things are easy as hell to find.

[HoaDao]

... My goodness. xD;;
