I Loved this title and now…
Captain Blood is a unique sci-fi adventure game that was first released in 1988 for Atari ST and later ported to other platforms such as Amiga, C64, Macintosh, Apple IIGS, PC, and various 8-bit platforms
Captain Blood is a bio-mechanical fever dream that defies easy description—a gem blending adventure, space sim, and puzzle elements in a cloned captain’s quest to escape a fractal universe. Its incomprehensible backstory (you’re a cloned spacefarer fighting infinite duplicates amid alien weirdness) hooks you with sheer strangeness.
Atari ST Version: The Definitive Cut
This is the gold standard, packing all alien speech sounds missing elsewhere. Unique bio-mechanical visuals twist flesh and circuits into eerie vistas, paired with distinctive gameplay: clone management, fractal cloning, and vector-graph spaceflight. Fame comes from Jean Michel Jarre’s haunting *Ethnicolor* intro track, setting an otherworldly tone. Those strange sampled voices? They mesh perfectly with the alien aesthetic, making every clone chatter feel like cosmic horror.
Amiga Version: Vibrant Standout
Critics and players rave about this port’s polish. It retains the ST’s core while leveraging Amiga color and sound for visuals that still pop today. The intriguing story unfolds through cryptic logs and alien encounters, with gameplay mixing freeform exploration, ship customization, and brain-bending puzzles. Smoother than ST in motion, it’s a retro standout for its hypnotic, genre-mashing flow.
Remake (2002 PC/2006 Updates):
The reboots amplify the original’s madness with modern tweaks—better controls, redrawn graphics, and expanded alien languages. It keeps the core’s defiant weirdness, but purists stick to the originals. Play if you crave updated access to its fractal legacy.

CHEAT
When you encounter a particularly friendly alien, ask it the following question using the alien icons “CODE GG1”.
The alien will then give you co-ordinates of another alien called GG.
Go to the specified planet and you can then ask GG for the co-ordinates of all the other aliens around,
by asking “CODE INFORMATION HELP”
If that doesn’t work, replace ‘HELP’ with the name of an alien.
