Buy this if you: -appreciate spooky/eerie stuff like "Twilight Zone", "Eerie, Indiana" and "Kolchak, Night Stalker" -enjoy pixel art reminscent of the LucasArts golden age of adventures -do like classic adventures but have not much time to spend on gaming altogether -prefer eating one slice of very fine pizza instead of eating a whole okay pizza -are fine with reading a classic short story if there is no good new novel at hand -like visual novels altogether Avoid this if you: -look for a lengthy narrative with hours of gameplay -think that the "pixel art" production design of indie video games is overused these days -want hardcore-levels of horror
What are we talking about here? Please do yourself a favour and play these with a controller pad. I cannot imagine playing these with the keyboard/mouse. These are first and foremost console games.Yes, these games got their pc ports,but these ports are mostly derivative to the console versions they were originally tailored for. Aladdin, Capcom SNES, rating: 5 of 5 One of the very best Disney Capcom platformers from the 16bit era and the best game here.Extremely well playable, probably the most accessible title in this compilation. Not too hard, fun to play, great graphics and music. Aladdin,Virgin Games MD,rating: 4 of 5 This is a completely different title than the one above,foraging into the cinematic platformers genre, being closer to Prince of Persia than classic platformers. Incredibly stunning visuals, good music,but pretty difficult. Jungle Book,Virgin Games SNES and MD,rating: 3 of 5 This is a good, average platformer with good visuals and music.The difficulty is doable. Be aware that this is a game with huge jungle (duh!) levels, which offer little orientation , and, as you already might have guessed, force you to find an exit. Lion King, Westwood SNES and MD,rating: 2 of 5 This one has great graphics and music, but its difficulty will bring you to your knees. It is not Contra 3- or Dark Souls-level of hard,but that unfair Actraiser 2-level of hard. The incredibly frustrating platforming puzzles will make you tear your hair out. There is no amendment to that. The level design is similar to the one in Jungle Book.This is the least enjoyable title in this compilation. Overall: The games themselves are enjoyable. For that price,however, you can get yourself the original cartridges for the original consoles. This is not even a Sega or SNK gaming compilation, which offers dozens of awesome games, but rather 4 Disney themed games with two good (one outstanding), one okay and one frustratingly hard game. The price-value ratio here is inacceptable.
