Sorry but the best furry character was already made

Post by Fontra (?) » Mon Nov 06, 2017 7:27 am

Ponygoons, let's be real for a second, if you saw the MLP movie there were two furry characters in it one was the rogueish scoundrel cat Capper and the other a pirate birb Captain Caeda and they were great and all but imagine, if you will, they had cat kid who grew up to be a pirate captain, but somehow also have wizard powers and he was in a Castlevania-esque platformer by Monolith. That kid was named Captain Nathaniel J. Claw and he has been around since 1997:

Look at this motherfucker. He dual-wields pistols, looks vicious, is dressed to kill, and has a kickin-rad voice:



(btw if you're wondering, yes that is the same voice actor as the guy who played Caleb in Blood also by Monolith. Also apparently voices Ike's dad, Greil, in Fire Emblem Path of Radiance.)

Captain Claw is a cult game from when I was six years old that I was fucking obsessed with as a kid and probably the only platformer I ever bought for a computer as a kid. I thought it was lost to time forever as I never saw anyone else talk about it. I don't think I can do it justice with my limited writing ability so I'll let the guy from Lazy Game Reviews tell you about it:



Why am I bringing it up here and now? idk, there's no rhyme or reason to PPPP, but Perry showed me the LGR retrospective on it and I got waves of nostalgia and didn't know where else to output it but the shitpost forum that I reign supreme over and I felt the need to spread the word of Claw. Also since the copyright for it is kinda up in the air, you can basically legally get it for free from this fansite.

The furry plattformer I grew up with was Jazz Jackrabbit, it's a shame I never had a DVD drive on my older PC or heard of Captain Claw to begin with because that would have been extremely my jam too

This should just make it to GOG honestly

Also the cutscene animation is surprisingly cool and competent



Not like, Disney-grade, but compared to people around the same time who tried to accomplish cartoon cutscenes and failed miserably (Zelda CD-i and pals) this is really nice looking
