TaleSpin
Disney Afternoon peaked at DuckTalesGenre: action - platform
Publisher: NEC
Year: 1991
System: TurboGrafx-16
Gameplay Score: 1
Gameplay Notes:
Typical platformer but your only attack is throwing some sort of projectile. It goes about 1/3 of the length of the screen so you have to be fairly close. Enemies love to throw their own projectiles, often from off screen making it hard to avoid their attacks. Short jump, so you're grounded and platforming is a challenge. Jump has a landing animation which prevents you from jumping until it finishes. This causes you to pause after each jump or risk missing it and walking off cliffs. Weird and unnatural.
Level Design Score: 2
Level Design Notes:
Very short levels. Pick which one you want, Mega Man style. Short minigame between levels is pointless but might be more fun than the actual game.
Theme Score: 4
Theme Notes:
TaleSpin was awesome back in the day! Unfortunately this game looks and plays like one of those late 80s PC games so it doesn't do the license justice. Louie, Rebecca, and her daughter show up as NPCs.
Art Style Score: 1
Art Style Notes:
Terrible. Horrible. Again it looks like one of those PC games from that era.
Audio Score: 2
Audio Notes:
Ok
Overall Score: 30
