Ok so last friday I pulled StarTropics out of my chest, and was going to play it again as part of my going through this chest of old games I have at my place. Sadly my cart for StarTropics no longer works...and despite trying to fix it, nothing seems to work.
So I pulled another game, and this time it's a Genesis classic.
Mickeys Castle of Illusion:
This one is a big one for me, personally and ranks up there with Little Nemo in reguards to overall nostalgia factor. I've always been a pretty big Disney fan, and even more so of Mickey. There is really just something about Mickey mouse that gos beyond him just being a childrens character, the sheer amount of people both young and old that have a special place for Mickey is pretty amazing imo.
The game itself is a side-scrolling platformer, and you of course control Mickey Mouse in a magical quest to save Minnie Mouse from the evil witch named Mizrabel, who kidnapped Minnie to steal her youth.
Each level exists within the large castle of illusion and the player must defeat enemies and bosses by jumping on them, or collecting apples and marbles to use as projectiles. The player can also collect items to increase health, collect extra lives, or gain bonus points. After defeating a boss, the player is given a gem. When all seven gems are collected, the player can build a rainbow bridge that allows Mickey to walk into the castle's tower for a final battle against the witch, who in her youthful form resembles the Queen Grimhilde.
Again we find a game where the music was excellent, but there was so much more here. The controls were fantastic, the animations of the world, and characters (especially Mickey) really wowed me at the time, and the game overall was just packed with imagination, and great platforming, Bosses, and memorable moments. It's one of the games that really made me love my Genesis and one of the many examples of why I loved Sega so much.
There are so many good things that I can say about this game, but i'm sure many of you already know how great it was, digging through this chest is proving to be pretty awesome...
