Hook Genesis

Until his children were kidnapped by Captain Hook and taken to Pirate Town, loving father and respected attorney Peter Banning never considered going back to Neverland. As a matter of fact, he couldn't even remember having been there in the first place. After it was discovered that the children were missing, Granny Wendy reminded Banning of his past -- running and jumping with the Lost Boys in the wild Neverland forest and swimming under the waterfalls of the blue lagoon. In those days he was known as Peter Pan.

Vowing to return his children to safety, Peter Banning went to Neverland and once again assumed the role of Peter Pan. You must guide him through many hazards (such as pointy treetops and swarming bees) as he battles arrow-shooting pirates, balloon pirates, ugly sea dogs, poisonous snakes, magic tigers and other dangerous foes.

Early in the game you must duel your old rival Rufio in order to retrieve the Golden Sword, a powerful weapon that can shoot star balls. After you get the sword, you will lose it every time you get hit, but it will pop up again and again throughout the game. Your standard weapon when you don't have the sword is a simple dagger.

Hook's eleven levels of play will take you to forests, mountains, icy regions, a pirate ship and other locations on and around Neverland. To make your journey less hazardous, you can pick items (such as apples, cherries and leaves) that boost your energy and enable you to take more hits. You can earn extra points by finding hidden tiaras, rings, necklaces and crowns. To refill your Fly Meter you must find Tinkerbell and stand underneath her Pixie Dust rain. Once powdered, you'll be able to fly again.

Near the end of the game you must engage Captain Hook in a sword fight. If you can't defeat Hook, your kids will remain enslaved on Hook's pirate ship.
