    The 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.

    Nostalgia 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?

    With 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.

    In 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.

Back in the early to mid 90's before the age of the Disney channel you had what was known as Disney Afternoon, which was a set of 4 shows that debut on regular television. Anyone with a television could watch it with or without cable and the shows were very popular. So popular infact, that Capcom partnered with Disney in order to make several obligatory 8 bit nes tie in games. 6 of those are presented here. 5 of those 6 games are great. The other, decent. Gamepaly and graphics from the NES has been emulated perfectly here. Remixed soundtrack on the menus are perfect. The addition of a new rewind button makes beating most of these a cinch. You'll love this collection if you grew up with the games, enjoy retro gaming, have children that need something simple to play or just want some easy achievements. All others need not apply. The only reason. That this score is an 8 is because I loathe paying 20 bucks for 20 year old games. Wait for a sale.… Full Review »
