This and Bubsy are my first memory of PC gaming. The HOURS I banked playing the game as a kid... fond memories. Really cannot believe some of the crap thats been emulated for multiple platforms from the 90s, but yet somehow Claw is bypassed. Such a fantastic game kellieawarrior_172

This is one of Monolith classics. A pirate-themed platformer game with a charismatic protagonist, Captain Claw who was a pirate cat. The art style was great, and the game was quite difficult, so it was super fun to play. I'd love to have this game again.
I used to play this at my aunt's Internet cafe before she had to close and it was such a big favorite my dad got it for us so we could continue to play it. This is my favorite game from my childhood.
This game was the third game I played in my childhood. But in that time, I played the demo version, because I didn't have money to buy the full game. Its a fantastic game, the first I played with a character breaking the 4th wall and the lines are very funny. The story is magical with a high speed gameplay and hard bosses. If games like cuphead are doing so well, this game deserve be preserved and played for sure!
This is an exceptional platformer with a wonderful Story of Captain Claw and his quest to reassemble the Amulet of Nine Lives. You get pulled in from the get go with an amazing cinamatic made as a cartoon animation typical for the 1990s era. I remember playign it with simblings, sitting by the same computer screen, helping eachother out with ideas and tips on how to continue. It's fond memories, but the game is a very good platformer wit hpopping colors and satisying sounds. The Voice acting, how ever little it is of it, is superb. Please bring this gem back! Not only for people who played it, but also to be introduced to the children of those who played it back in the late 90s.

Well, just the greatest game from my childhood, unfortunately I lost my original CD with it. No more stories with this game. Instead of one challenge, with my friend from this times, who will finish the game first without cheats.
i just cant forget it is one of my all time gaems all the bosses at the end of the level were allunique some bosses had unique patterns i still rememder from my childhood one of the bosses you had to pick it up and throw him out of the bounds for my child hood i thought this was soo cool i tried everything on that boss but by mistake whne i throwed him his health decreased so it would be great if i could play this game again as it is my defintion of good old game also i never finished this game so that is also one of the reasons i want to play this game
I was really young when this came out, and I only ever played the demo my Dad had installed on the family computer. Always wanted to play the full version so hopefully I get to do that one day.

This game was one of the first games I have ever played on a computer and this brings so many memories of me playing with my friends on the same computer, taking turns when one of us died. My girlfriend played it too and she would love for this game to be available and be able to play it again!
This game was one of my first contacts with the world of video games. I remember that I can't wait to finish school so I can play claw. When I managed to remember the name of the game after many years, I got a nostalgia for the golden age of gaming
