What the hell... I never heard of this game back in the day, and it looks great! Like Cadillacs and Dinosaurs but with more ways to interact with the environment.
I remember playing Hook at the Pizza Hut in Florissant, Missouri back around the mid-1990's; I played it a few times, mostly as Thudbutt just because I liked his name (though me preferring the slow, strong fighters in these side-scroller fighting games helped). But that was the first, last and only time I ever saw a 'Hook' cabinet. It must have been a _very_ limited release. 🤔
I wish this channel had more subscribers because one very good reason which is obviously the best reason is because people these days still like to play some of the classics and want to have a feeling of retro-style video games by watching more videos like this on this channel and yet this channel doesn't have that many subscribers, I wish it had somewhere around at least 500-600K subscribers due to their work at playing these old games for their fans
VideoViaPlaystation If youtube stop suggesting more popular gaming channels to actually give a damn to be fair for channels like this one, then this would not be much of a conundrum, but alas, commentary gaming is still rising. This just demands the retro gaming community to be more resourceful than ever to scour the youtube searchlist to search for their gems.
combatantlife I really hate that about youtube, it's always trying to shove the obnoxious pat the nes punk and jontron in my face despite how many times I click that x that is supposedly supposed to make it so youtube stops recommending those things to you...
Kristina Dont bother with closing their channel recommendations. For some reason, the more we resist, the more tenacious they get. Ive blocked so many of their VeVo crap channels but they just keep coming like a pandemic plague.
Hook is an arcade beat 'em up game developed and produced by a Japanese game company Irem. The objective of the game is to save Peter Pan's children Jack and Maggie from the evil Captain Hook. The players can choose to play as Pan or as one of the four Lost Boys. There are five playable characters, but only up to 4 players can play at the same time. Become a part of the awesome action-packed adventure of Hook as you choose to play the part of either Peter Pan or one of the cool Lost Boys and then embark on a mission to rescue Pan's kidnapped children Jack and Maggie kids from the evil Captain Hook! Fight Hook's crew right through the entire Never Land - on the beaches, jungles and even on the captain's boat! Don't stop beating the baddies until you've saved Pan's kids!
Omg this is my childhood game. when this video was uploaded b4 8years i played it for the first time with my father on his old pc but i couldn't beat that giant
Wow, Peter has some pretty dirty street-fighting tactics: elbowing people in the spine while they’re down, haha! This looks pretty cool, actually. I didn’t know there was an arcade!
This game had me waiting on the line for hours back then. If you're good at this game, you need only 1 token from opening till closing of the arcade 🤩🤩🤩

Very little known game that got lost in the Capcom Konami era of beat em ups. I never saw it in the wild. God bless emulation Not the best game but very competent and its refreshing to see and play a beat em up that was not made capcom and Konami
Beat em ups from this era are all about exploiting the Z axis. Every enemy has longer range than you but can't deal with you approaching from the sides.
Metafron Ace I can kind of understand, with his top hat he stood out more and was easily identifiable, despite not having many speaking lines. Was Pockets the "Oh, THERE you are, Peter!" Kid?
is it just me or does this game feels like not suitable for kids like peter pan using a flail to kill his enemies or even throwing a spear at them pretty violent lucky there's no blood
