Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse by Sega for the Sega Genesis is a sign of the times. If you had a non-sports licensed product, you had a 2D side scrolling action game.

Mickey Mania Takes Fans on Disney Historical Adventure on Sega Genesis – November 7th, 1994
November 7th, 2020 Carl Williams Mickey Mania continued the tradition of 16-bit Disney games being great offerings. Other than a snafu or two on TurboGrafx-16, this was true.

Lets Get Dangerous Darkwing Duck Launches on Nintendo NES – June 14th, 1992 – Today in Video Game History
June 13th, 2020 Carl Williams Darkwing Duck is a Disney animated feature set in an alternate “duckverse” from Ducktales. Launchpad McQuack and Gizmoduck both appear each show, in similar positions of life, but are considered different characters. That means two different universes to deal with here. Think of Darkwing Duck maybe as a DC Comics Elseworlds story. In 1992, Capcom […]

Amazon Resurrects Ducktales Remastered with Discounted Price
November 23rd, 2019 Carl Williams Earlier in 2019 Capcom took Ducktales Remastered down from all digital platforms. This caused a surge in interest in obtaining the physical edition across platforms such as eBay and Amazon. In an odd series of events, Amazon has relisted Ducktales Remastered, and at a severe discount. I have no idea how long this deal will […]

Retro Games Released Digitally: December 2017
December 30th, 2017 Carl Williams Rather than doing a weekly, or daily, update on retro games released digitally, I figure a monthly roundup would be better. I already know this is not going to be complete without the help of our readers so please, mention any retro game releases you know of that are not on this list.

Kingdom Hearts Combines Disney Square Enix on PlayStation 2 – September 16th, 2002 – Today in Video Game History
September 15th, 2016 Carl Williams When I first heard about Kingdom Hearts I was a little dismayed. I was, still am, a big Disney fan.

Disney Releases Jungle Book, Aladdin and Lion King on PC
August 6th, 2016 Carl Williams Disney games during the 16-Bit era were some of the best games you could purchase, outside of something with Mario in the title. It was just accepted fact that Disney was quality gaming back then. The games were, mostly, licensed by competent companies that were not scared to put honest to goodness work into making […]
