Captain Macaw represents everything missing in modern gaming. There was a time when Dizzy and Magic Knight were perma-residents of our gaming top ten. Then the world discovered fps and guns and never looked back, casting the forefathers aside as undesirab

Back in the mid-1980s, I was always a big fan of the 'Magic Knight' games on the Spectrum. I had a profound love of what were deemed "Graphic Adventure" games, and the Magic Knight games - Spellbound, Knight Tyme and Stormbringer (not Finders Keepers...t

Though my review might sound overly negative, please don't take it that way - I liked Captain MaCaw a lot, and would heartily recommend it to any and all fans of arcade adventures.
That said, Captain MaCaw looks bad. Not because it's trying to channel the

A Fantastic game. This feels like a real love letter to the glory days of the ZX Spectrum, if you ever played games like Dizzy or Finders Keepers you will instantly feel at home here.
Great adventure game puzzles, a sizeable map to explore and a cracking

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

Great classic style platform adventure, really enjoyed it, much bigger than I was expecting.
The map is well laid out, the puzzles are fair, nothing too cryptic, finished it without a hint.
I love the unlimited lives rule, can relax and concentrate on the

Grew up playing ZX Spectrum games and this is a lovely blast back to that past. Nice selection of find-objects-to-solve-puzzle problems that all make sense. So no need to try every object with every other object (something that plagued some of these type

This is a must-play for fans of the Dizzy Series or other ZX Spectrum platformers.

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.

As a fan of ZX Spectrum games, I really enjoyed this. The game is similar to Dizzy in puzzles and layout, but dying only takes you back to the current screen.
The puzzle difficulty is just right and the music is great too.
There are a couple of issues.

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.

Basically, if you like Dizzy, you'll like this.
I you don't know what this is, you are probably younger that me!
Macaw is a platform adventure game clearly based on the spectrum.
That's certainly the look the writer has gone for!
I love it.

Captain MaCaw is a throwback to the great 8-Bit puzzle adventures such as Codemasters' Dizzy series. Great puzzles and a Piratey story are carried along by a touch of humour and earworm-inducing melodies. The ZX Spectrum palette has even been used to add

Funny short Dizzy clone with planned sequel (which looks like Nodes of Yesod). A must have for any ZX Spectrum fan!

This is a smart little game.
I love the old retro style.
You don't see many graphic platform adventures like this these days.
The platforming isn't too challenging but there are a few tricky jumps.
Maybe a little too tricky if you're not a fan of the gen
