Play Adventures Of Captain Comic, The Online

Game Overview

Adventures Of Captain Comic, The is an NES side-scroller that feels like a rough draft of something better. You jump between platforms, shoot weird alien creatures, and collect items that don’t always make sense. The controls are stiff—like you’re fighting the game as much as the enemies.

At first, it’s charming in a janky way. The music loops endlessly, and the levels are these strange, empty landscapes with occasional spikes or pits. But after a while, the frustration sets in. You’ll die from cheap hits, get stuck on scenery, and wonder why some power-ups even exist.

Still, there’s something oddly compelling about pushing through. Maybe it’s the weird enemy designs or the fact that Adventures Of Captain Comic, The doesn’t hold your hand at all. It’s not great, but it’s a weird little time capsule from the NES era.
