Interesting little video look at the unique and impressive 1988 video game Captain Blood, written by ERE for the Atari ST (originally).

I'm not sure I agree with the video's creator, Grim Jim, as far as where the Atari ST vs. Amiga and PC sat / what they represented back in the day, but it's a nice look at a bizarre game I enjoyed on both the ST and, later, Amiga.

@blakespot @nigecube Which had the better Captain Blood, C64 or ST?

@lopta @blakespot ST. And yes, I can still understand UPCOM.

Oh, and Purple Saturn Day is also worth adding to the list of obscure but playable French games that are better on the ST!

@nigecube I encountered Pascal (Kroah) in conjunction with his decompilation work on Time Bandit, and did a blog post ... wow ... I see it was over 15 years ago.
