You can get Captive on HOTU or on some abandonware websites. But the PC version is a little bit buggy. Some things aren't the same that on the Amiga version, like: Vision Corrector contain a Visor, little windows don't work well, some enemies are disappearing rarely, the game may freeze few times... and this is kinda annoying! Everything else is good! There's also an introduction animation and there's music in the game.

If only the bugs can be removed... the game would be very good!

Yep, but the Atari ST version has less color than the other ones (PC and Amiga). In fact, the PC version is a converted version of the Amiga. If you want to play the completely original game: it's on AMIGA! But, the Amiga emulator (genreally WinUAE) requies specific ROMS to work and these ROMS are not available to download.

Heh, you can get the ROMs all over the place, it only takes a quick Google. It may not be legal, but it's certainly possible.

really fine site Hoborg

I thought that your old site dungeony.cz was down and couldn't find this new one.
I'm glad to see it again :)
