    I was legitimately shocked when I got older and found out that hook wasn't considered a good movie by critics and audiences. The actors are great especially Hoffman as hook and hoskins as Smee. I think the idea of Peter growing up and forgetting his past was a great idea and it still holds up today. Love your videos, thank you for making them.

    I never was able to play Hook at the arcade when I was younger, well anything at the arcade, because my family was poor. But I always wanted to play Hook because I am a life long Peter Pan fan. A couple months ago I was able to get a Oneup Arcade machine that I hacked and the first game I loaded up was Hook. Let me tell you, the child in me was so ecstatic. I beat the whole thing in one sitting and was an amazing experience for me. I have since played in multiple times with friends and my own kid now.

    that sega cd version looks like it plays so nice and snappy. The snes and genesis were so slow, my only gripe. Bonus for mentioning the pinball table, it was one of my favorites back in the day. Had a really cool multiball that would play the triumphant Pan theme, somehow felt like dueling with hook w all the bumpers and flippers going off chaotically. I freaking love hook. I wish movies today would put in care to tell a decent story while remaining true to the source material. There was a freakin pirate baseball game FFS, that movie took chances, and came out amazing. One of my all time favorites.

      You must have lived the life of a true gangster if you never saw Hook. With T2 and Batman Returns, it was one of the biggest movies of that era. In 2023, I would not recommend Hook to ANYONE, it was a 90's thing. You kinda had to be there.

    I remember seeing the 4-player version of the arcade game when I was a kid at a miniature golf/arcade. With this game being a side-scrolling beat-em-up it reminded me of Konami games, that had the same style of game-play, at the time. I always considered these games, quarter-munchers. I am glad that I was able to find the ROM for MAME so that I can enjoy this game once again. One thing I like to do with these types of games with MAME is MAP all of the buttons and directional movements to a single controller. (I have a USB adapter, made by MAYFLASH, which allows me to connect both NES and SNES controllers to my PC) This way I can control all 4 characters simultaneously. This is really fun for the Simpsons arcade because when you leave 2 or more characters touching each other for a few seconds, they combine forces and go on a rampage. Just imagine having the ability to control Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael at the same time.
    With that said, another great vid, Patman, keep them coming.

    I was hoping for a *Hook* sequel, Robin Williams as Peter was one his under-rated roles; in my opinion he did an awesome job. Dustin Hoffman as Hook was also well done; some really good casting choices. I had a SNES but sadly never purchased the *Hook* game; looking back on it, I am kicking myself; looked like pretty representation of the movie.

    If the Japanese version of the arcade came first, surely the recolored Captain Hook clones are because back in the day it was heavily frowned upon to show violence towards women in video games even if the game was violent. (In the US at least.) So I imagine someone replaced the lady pirates with two Hooks as a quick and dirty fix.
    This lead to some weird but endearing quicks like Poison in Final Fight.

With that said, I do rent them & I did rent the SNES version! However, I did not know about the Arcade Beat em up! How cool is that! Mind Blown or did I just lost my marbles? I did see the Hook Pinball in our Arcade & played it quite often! Each time the ball went past me I would yell, SMEEED!! Watching this makes me feel like an adult peter pan forgetting how fun it was to play these games at a younger age!

    I remember seeing the movie in the theater then playing the game in the theater's small arcade. It was one of the first games I remember being a beat-em-up where you had to pay 50 cents for the first play, then 25 cents for each continue, as set by the operator. Transition over to full on 50 cent per play games I suppose.
    I'm glad the movie is frequently accessible on various streaming- no problem watching it once a year as a family movie now.

    The Hook pinball machine is quite good and really deserved more than a few seconds of a mention. The music and sound effects including voices are plentiful. It’s a typical Data East game from the time, so there’s a little bit of repetition in the music and call outs that borders on being annoying at times but it passes quickly. There are many fun shots to attempt and the BANGARANG Multiball can be frantic. Overall an enjoyable game that I have on loan to my arcade. Just like many other games, the more you understand how pinball is played, the more enjoyable the game will be.

As for the movie version of Hook, there were hidden cameos. They are Carrie Fischer (RIP), Georges Lucas, and Glenn Close.
