Jun 19, 2017Ancient gamer or not, the Disney Afternoon Collection gives you six decent-to-great retro platformers for a deeply discounted price, and that's really all I need to say. These games were fun then, they're just as fun now, providing a decent challenge and plenty of hours of Disney greatness for mere pennies. If running and jumping are as synonymous with gaming to you as they are to me, the Disney Afternoon Collection is more than a worthy download, it's a must-have.

Apr 24, 2017The Disney Afternoon Collection is yet another fantastic six-pack of 8-bit Capcom classics. Playing through these adventures is such great fun that I'm looking forward to seeing what retro gems Capcom puts together for their next compilation.

May 1, 2017The Disney Afternoon Collection is a perfect conversion of the originals, so if you are a fan of super hard retro gaming, this will be right up your street. For everyone else, the pure, unadulterated gameplay that goes into these titles should be the main hook.

Apr 23, 2017The Disney Afternoon Collection takes us on an 8-bit journey through time, a pack of six of the great classics of platforms that in their golden age of Disney and Capcom. A glorious pack of sensations for the young adults, and new and challenging adventures for the younger generation.

Apr 21, 2017The Disney Afternoon Collection is the perfect nostalgia trip for everyone who grew up in the late 80’s. It is a solid collection with perfect pixels and magical music. And of course old school difficulty.
-
Apr 19, 2017On a whole this is one outstanding collection granted players come into it with proper expectations. Sure the original Duck Tales is a blast, but most of these games have not aged as well as one would hope. Still, I cannot recommend it enough, it brought back memories. From the music to the insane difficulty, I had a blast. The rewind feature allowed me to see them all, and the new leader boards and modes make it worthwhile.

Apr 18, 2017Capcom's partnership with Disney back in the 8-bit era led to some really fantastic games, six of which have been brought back via The Disney Afternoon Collection. On top of making these often difficult games more accessible with a rewind feature, also having competitive game options like Time Attack and Boss Rush make The Disney Afternoon Collection a worthwhile trip back to the past.

May 19, 2017If you are an oldschool aficionado you’ll get a nice collection of six NES classics with slight enhancements like in-game-saving (once per game) and rewind function to tone down the extreme difficulty. Plus you get a heap of bonus material like artworks and the soundtracks.
-
May 1, 2017The Disney Afternoon Collection is a treat for everyone that loved the old games back in the NES era. While the games themselves are still the same, the new functions and modes are a welcome surprise. Only some technical issues plague the collection.
-
Apr 21, 2017Though every game in The Disney Afternoon Collection is over twenty years old, they all hold up fairly well. The gameplay mechanics are simplistic and can feel a bit dated, but they are great versions of Disney classics. If you are looking for a game with exceptional and more modern gameplay, there are better retro-inspired games on the market. But if you are looking to play these for the nostalgia while taking advantage of their enhanced visual fidelity, this is the bundle to get, especially at its $20 price point.
-
Apr 18, 2017It’s pure nostalgia, but if you loved these games as a kid, there’s just enough new features to bring you back to it again—and they hold up well enough if you have someone you’d like to introduce these games to for the first time.
-
Apr 25, 2017The Disney Afternoon Collection proposes us to revive six of the franchise’s great classics, which will delight the most nostalgic people. Retro platform games to prove our skills.
-
Apr 24, 2017Nostalgia is strong in this collection, and some of the games like DuckTales and Darkwing Duck aged pretty well resulting in an entertaining experience yet today. But others aren't as well, and why not putting in the remastered edition for DuckTales?
-
Apr 18, 2017With three hits and three duds from Capcom/Disney years that you might remember with varying levels of fondness, the Disney Afternoon Collection is clearly aimed at children of the 90s. I have trouble seeing its appeal to anyone else. But if vintage duck-based platformers are your thing, grab a Capri Sun and a handful of Gushers and invite your friends over to play.
-
May 30, 2017In the end, I somewhat enjoyed Disney Afternoon Collection in spite of its shortcomings. Retro gaming isn’t just a fad, but rather a growing movement for gamers who miss the simple challenge of using just a pair of thumbs. For that population – and fans of the equally nostalgic cartoon series – this collection is a bargain. But, for a true throwback thrill, there are plenty of ways to get it without resorting to unresponsive controls and questionable game design. Like most collections, this is a well-intentioned labor of love for fans of the IPs and 8-bit completists, yet I’m guessing most newcomers won’t see much value in this journey down memory lane.
