Summary

Playing Fox's Peter Pan & The Pirates: The Revenge of Captain Hook feels like stepping straight into the animated series. Each stage is populated with a set number of pirates and assorted foes, and I have to clear them before moving on. Occasionally Wendy or a Lost Boy pops up with a helpful tip, while fairy dust lets me take to the air and Tinker Bell restores my health when I’m low. The primary weapon is a short‑range sword, though I can pick up red balls to hurl at enemies, and treasure chests reward extra points. The game offers no passwords or continues, but bonus rounds grant extra lives, and many levels are color‑shifted repeats that end with Hook pacing back‑and‑forth—until the final showdown where I finally make him walk the plank.

Storyline

Fox's Peter Pan & The Pirates: The Revenge of Captain Hook (often just called Revenge of Captain Hook) pits Peter Pan against the infamous Captain Hook in a high‑stakes duel that will decide the fate of the enchanted world. The game follows the TV series’ settings, sending Pan through a series of themed levels where he fights swarms of pirates and dodges a variety of traps. Each stage builds toward the climactic showdown on Hook’s pirate ship, where Peter must finally confront the villain and end his reign of terror.
