When we are young, we all play licensed games. If you say you never did, you are either a liar or never owned a game system when you were seven years old. Most people have fond memories of the licensed games they played back in the day, like Chip ‘n Dale’s Rescue Rangers, Ducktales, or Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. There were certainly still shovelware titles (I’ve got Gameboy ports of Jurassic Park and Barbie: Game Girl that are good examples, though still playable), but man, I loved Disney games when I was younger. This and The Lion King for SNES got rented over and over again. I left the SNES at home and recently spotted a Genesis port of this, so I thought I’d test to see how cloudy nostalgia-vision was.
In this case, I was thankfully not disappointed.
