| 2 | ''Captain Silver'' is a 1987 ActionGame by Creator/DataEast, developed for the [[UsefulNotes/ArcadeGame arcade]]. It tells a story of Jim Aykroyd, a young aspiring sailor who goes on a journey to seek the lost treasure of the eponymous Captain Silver. |

| 6 | !!''Captain Silver'' provides examples of: |
| 7 | * AdaptationExpansion: |
| 8 | ** Sega Master System version cuts the final stage into two separate levels, with the pirate ship part fleshed out. |
| 9 | ** NES version received even more expansion, including new purchasable spells at the shop. |
| 10 | * AntagonistTitle: The titular Captain Silver is the FinalBoss of the game. |
| 11 | * FakeLongevity: You have to play the whole game twice to see the ending. |
| 12 | * OneHitPointWonder: A single blow is enough for Jim to send him back to the checkpoint. |
| 13 | * PlatformHell: ''Captain Silver'' rarely throws you a platforming section, but when it does, it's really dreadful. This is not so much for the platforming itself, but rather for its glitchy hit detection, which may decide you didn't step on the platform properly and make you fall through it. |
| 14 | * RockMeAmadeus: The first stage's music interpolates two movements of Edvard Grieg's ''Theatre/PeerGynt'' suite: "Anitra's Dance" for the main BGM, and "In the Halls of the Mountain King" for the Pied Piper miniboss theme. |
| 15 | * SuperDrowningSkills: Wasn't really notable case in the 1980s, but it's still hilarious because Jim can drown in '''a water fountain''', of all places. |
