Hook (World)

About Hook on Classic Arcade

Released in 1992 for arcades, Hook is a Capcom-developed beat 'em up that transports players directly into Steven Spielberg's fantasy film. As Peter Pan, you'll swordfight through Hook's pirate ship and Neverland's jungles across two stages, facing pirates, Lost Boys-turned-pirates, and the ticking crocodile itself. Hook includes region marker: World, which helps separate this page from nearby ports, regional releases, and similarly named entries.

• Classic Arcade listing context
  Hook includes region marker: World, which helps separate this page from nearby ports, regional releases, and similarly named entries. The strongest visible context is the Classic Arcade platform and its general play style. Emulator core: arcade.
• CPS1 Arcade Heritage
  Built on Capcom's CP System hardware, this game shares the same vibrant sprite art and responsive controls as Final Fight and Captain Commando, delivering that quintessential arcade cabinet feel.
• Multiplane Combat Scrolling
  Characters dynamically move between foreground and background planes during fights, which creates surprising moments where enemies can suddenly drop in from behind scenery.
• Authentic Film Adaptation
  From pixellated renditions of Robin Williams' Pan and Dustin Hoffman's Hook to stages replicating the Jolly Roger and Pirate Town, it nails the movie's aesthetic far better than the concurrent console versions did.
