Captain Claw anyone?

Does anyone remember that 2D Side scroller from the 90s?
Still play it.. Got it to work on Windows 7

Shut up! I think I still have that game somewhere! I should try and get it to work. It was a DVD game that came with a gamepad or my old school Creative Labs DVD Encore drive. You know the one that had the decoder card.

Awesome.. Wish I still had one of those. :/
I forgot how I got mine to work.. I think I copied the files over to the PC, and then I ran the exe in compatibility mode for win95.. but yeah, I'm glad I found a good quality game that still works.. the new stuff come out today is only focused on the graphics... they're not the kind of games you can play over and over.

Found the DVD, but it wouldn't install. Says it doesn't support 64bit. I copied it all local and same thing. I then tried launching the CLAW.EXE from the folder and it started with the splash screen of the developer and then went blank. I could hear music, but nothing. As soon as I hit a button it crashes. :-( no luck I guess.

Funny I also found disks for other games in the bottom of my desk. BeachHead 2002, Get the Bunny, Unreal (the very first one), KKND (krush kill n destroy), wing commander iv, and Total Annihilation. GOOD TIMES!

Yeah.. I remember those games.. I still play Unreal 2004 on a LAN party every once in a while.

Oh man, I used to love that game so much... All of my friends had it, and we were racing against each other to finish it first without cheats.

Did you try compatibility mode?

I still have BeachHead, but it's too hard to fire two AA guns at tiny soldiers without gunsights!

I did try compatibility mode, same error.

 

[Thornyjohny]

What OS are you using? I googled "Claw on Windows 7" and there are quite a few results.

 

[jay2tall]

^ Vista 64bit. I will have to do some searching later on.
