Capture is an action/adventure game for one or two players. Your goal is to locate a flag hidden somewhere on a 9x7 grid. Using the joystick you can move your explorer around the grid; on any square you can press the button to see if the flag is located in that square, or if not to receive a clue as to the flags' location.
The game is played within a time limit: one player has 75 seconds to find as many flags as possible. In two-player games, players take turns moving around the grid, with options for different skill levels controlling movement speed, flag movement, and invisible walls.
