Description
Peter Pan battles Captain Hook in Hook film levels in this Sony Mega Drive platformer. Published by Sony/Sega, released in Europe in 1992. Platformer with Peter Pan rediscovering his powers, Neverland levels and Captain Hook bosses.
A Mega Drive take on the Spielberg film, this PAL version was issued by Sony Imagesoft for Europe and proves harder to find complete than its NTSC counterpart. The European clamshell, brittle and often missing or cracked, becomes the deciding value factor on a moderately distributed movie-license platformer. Demand rests mainly on its status as the console adaptation of the Hollywood production.
Is Hook still worth playing in 2026?
An adaptation of Spielberg's film, Hook has you play Peter Pan across platform levels inspired by the movie, fighting Captain Hook's pirates with a sword. The colourful art direction and the faithfulness to the world carry classic gameplay, punctuated by varied phases. The somewhat stiff handling and uneven difficulty cap the fun over time. For someone nostalgic for the film or a fan of retro licensed platforming, the title keeps a decent charm and an above all sentimental interest.
