Walkthroughs on websites/old magazines are often incomplete or wrong. I had to take a lot of notes (planet coords, etc.) to progress in the adventure…

And making this video was important for me. It's *my* walkthrough 🥰

I hope you'll find it helpful 🙏

Yeah! 🥳🎉

After several days of wandering the galaxy, I finally managed to find all my clones and finish Captain Blood for the first time! 🌌

I also made a longplay 😀 (and a complete walkthrough!)

Received yesterday!

SVM (Science & Vie Micro), the most read computer magazine in France in the 80s!

It is in this issue that Captain Blood was shown for the first time! And described by the magazine as "The most beautiful game in the world"! 😀

If you look closely at the sketches, you can see that some ideas have not been kept in the game.

As I said in my first message, in this early version, you had to fly very low to avoid being destroyed (if the red arrows touch each other... BOOM!)

In the following versions, the difficulty was lowered (you can fly higher and the arrows move slower)

@Gamrok I actually bought the original for the #Commodore64 back in the day. The magazines praised the "completely new" and "unique concept" of the game and indeed, the "UPCOM" looked innovative at the time.

These days, while I still love #CaptainBlood I see it for what it eventually is: a melange between "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego" and "Space Taxi" with a nice soundtrack.

It's nice to see that his game still has fans!
