Play Adventures of Captain Comic, The (Unl) Online

Game Overview

Ever stumble across an NES game that feels like it was made by someone who just really loved platformers? That's The Adventures of Captain Comic—a weird little game where you jump across floating platforms, bonk enemies with a tiny projectile, and explore caves that look like they were drawn in MS Paint. The controls are stiff in that classic 80s way, but there's something oddly satisfying about figuring out the timing for those awkward jumps.

The music’s got that repetitive-but-catchy chiptune thing going on, and the enemies are either goofy (why is there a bouncing hamburger?) or frustrating (those bats know exactly when to dive at you). It’s short, janky, and definitely not the best NES game out there, but if you’ve ever wondered what a homebrew passion project from 1988 would feel like, this is it. I kept playing just to see what weird sprite would show up next.
