Claw is an arcade-style, side-scrolling action/adventure in which you must help the feline pirate Captain Claw escape from the Cocker Spaniards and find the magic gems. While imprisoned by the Cocker Spaniards for crimes against the king, Claw discovers information and a map piece describing the whereabouts of the magical gems that power the legendary Amulet of Nine Lives. With the amulet, the wearer obtains special powers and near immortality. It's up to you to help Claw escape from prison, find more pieces to the map, and discover the magical gems that power the amulet. During the adventure, you must sword fight with pirates, find mystical powerups, swing on ropes, avoid death traps, and grab loads of treasure. It won't be easy because there is a big bounty on your head and everyone is out to capture you--dead or alive.Claw uses a high-performance DirectX gaming engine that supports multiple layers of parallax scrolling to deliver thousands of frames of hand-painted art to your PC screen.
