Captain Power VHS Game Simulator - Released for Hypseus!
61This reimagining of the 1980's VHS-based Lightgun game has finally been released Hypseus. Playable on Windows, Mac, Linux, (including Pi) using mouse, controller or modern lightgun (e.g. Sinden).
The game is completely free of charge. So don't pay anyone for it!
Accept my apologies for the delay, we were hoping that RetroPie-Setup would apply an update to the Hypseus installation script, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen very soon. The update would have simplified the setup process for these types of "multi-games" (a group consisting of Captain Power and ActionMax so far) on Raspberry Pi, but we decided to push ahead with the release anyway.
It's not really "a" game, but rather "many" games, each video forming it's own game. Adding new games if and when new videos are created by the community will be straightforward, and I hope to see some more fan-made contributions to the Captain Power suite in the future.

Thank you for watching!
Special thanks go to @RobotGangster-eq2bo who made perfect video conversions of the VHS tapes, making this game possible, and to @obyrnedd for his awesome "Level 4" video.
Thanks also go to @DirtBagXon and @LutherGond for their invaluable support and advice during the development of the game.
FYI - in case it bothers you... the bezel around the game is just something I knocked out. it doesn't form part of the game. You can use any bezel you like, or none at all. It's up to you. :)
