Captron (1989). C64

Captron is next on the list. There is no box cover or manual, so I will need to jump in and figure it out on the go. I accidentally saw the blurb on Mobygames that says that Captron is a Burgertime clone. Hey, at least I now understand the basic game mechanic! I wonder if I will be capturing something.



Status: Played it

Thoughts: Captron is awful. It is Burgertime without interesting enemies or weapons or good controls. There is a mechanic where you press a button and it leaves a clone of you, but all it does is freeze the werewolf for a moment. That is nowhere near interesting enough to make up for the horrid controls. Similar to Super Pipeline II, it is finicky when trying to climb up and down bricks/ladders. The sluggish joystick response removes any chance of fun. It is astonishing that this game came out in 1989!

Rating: 1.0 out of 4 Werewolves
