Cap'n Magneto is a shareware graphical adventure game for the Apple Macintosh. The game follows Captain Lance Magneto as he attempts to capture the Crown of Control, a mind-control device being used to commit piracy around the planet Rigel IV. As he approaches the planet the device is used on his ship, causing it to crash. The player controls Magneto and tries to collect items from the map in order to capture the Crown and leave the planet.
The game takes place on a top-down 2-D map, which is colorized in recent versions. The characters, including Magneto, appear in side view. By modern standards the map is quite small, wrapping around after about three window-sizes, the windows remaining limited to the original 512 ~ 384 resolution of the early Macs.
The game was originally written in 1985 by Al Evans for the original 128K Macintosh in Lisa Pascal, and is claimed to be the first fully interactive game for the Mac. This version continued to work on all of the early versions of the "classic" Mac OS and was a common shareware fixture. In 1990, MacUser magazine named Cap'n Magneto one of the 200 best Macintosh products. The game stopped working under System 7, and several compatibility updates followed.
