Captain Blood is a fascinating sci-fi adventure that sees you traveling the galaxy to track down and eliminate your own clones. Along the way you'll pilot your ship over fractal terrain and communicate with a host of alien characters using a pictographic language reminiscent of modern emoji. I've long thought this game deserves a modern remake or re-release, so it'll be great to see GOG do what they can to preserve it.

I never finished it. But the book that came with the box told a great story, and I want to try and get that feeling back that the game gave me. 30 years later it still intrigues me as to what could be.

Never played that game, but I would like to. The music in the game was composed by Jean-Michel Jarre, the French electronic music genius. The game was released by the French Studio Exxos around 1988. You have to track down five clones of Captain Blood exploring the universe.

Like the previous entries, Silent Hill 3 is a survival horror combining action-based combat and puzzle-solving, but is somewhat more combat-oriented than the preceding installments.
