    Excellent modern side scroller platform with a lot of intelligent puzzles and hidden secrets!

    Platform games bore me, but I was wrong when I played Claw in 1995. I received this game CD free with my first computer. It may be a very old game, but it will continue to amaze new players for generations to come. The g... Read Full Review

    This game has a good story for a side-scroller, its just plain fun and has some interesting cut scenes.

    Great platformer.

    This game so reminds me of the early days of C64, Amigas and the arcade games. Whilst the graphics are not ground breaking, the game and the playability is still better than alot of the mindless violence games produced o... Read Full Review
