    this thing:

    Captain Blood

    Everytime I see this game, my brain immediately flashes to the
    long-forgotten "Captain Claw" game, I guess due to the similarity of
    names. Created by Monolith (of "No One Lives Forever" and "FEAR"
    fame), it was a pretty good mascot-platformer featuring a cat who was
    also a pirate. It had pretty good visuals and decent action (for a
    platformer) but despite being critically reviewed, it didn't sell that
    well and nowadays it seems that nobody remembers it but me.

    And even I don't think about it much except when I see titles like
    "Captain Blood" ;-)

    A fun little game so far. It crashed on me a couple times in the first
    hour. I found out it doesn't like being run at higher than 1080p, and
    doesn't have an in game (or launcher) was to change resolution, so I had
    to change my screen's resolution and back to 1440p when done with it.
    Played it a couple hours since.
