Amiga Action praised the graphics and music, but criticized the graphics. [31] Tony Jones of Amiga Mania considered the game to be better than the film, and noted that it had a "much clearer storyline." [30] Rik Haynes of CU Amiga wrote, "Sadly, despite aspiring to the heights achieved by Monkey Island, Hook has none of the finesse of rival productions from Virgin Games or Delphine." [5] The hook and ring game has existed in some form for many years and can (at its broadest) be used to describe nearly any game played with a hook and ring. For our purposes, however, we are going to look at game boards specifically designed around the concept of a fixed peg and rings connected to the game board by a string.

A side-scrolling platform game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and Game Boy was released in the United States in February 1992. Subsequent side-scrolling platform games were released for the Commodore 64 and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), and an arcade beat ‘em up by Irem later in 1992, followed by versions for the Sega CD, Sega Genesis, and Sega's handheld Game Gear console in 1993. And whether it’srule variations, how and where you install the ring and hook, or how the game is played in your establishment, there is plenty of flexibility to add some of your bar’s unique character to it. The game became quite popular in the Caribbean, where it is known as the Bimini Ring Game (and where the T-shaped design originates from). There are even variations of Bimini that involve a pole as the anchor for the hook and the ring, allowing you to score extra points for swinging the ring around the pole and then hooking it on the ring.
