![]() Leaping over a boss’s shockwave attack in a 3D battle is clichéd enough that I can’t pretend it’s fresh and exciting just because it’s new to this game. ![]() The remixed levels and 3D sections show Sega’s eagerness to rejuvenate the original’s 23-year-old design, but those changes don’t bring it up to today’s platforming standards. Despite the solid controls, the action in Castle of Illusion isn’t exciting. Whether bounding off the heads of toy soldiers in 2D or evading a huge jack-in-the-box in 3D, the platforming feels responsive and reliable. Note: This Test Chamber preview was recorded at an earlier date and is not a video review Mickey leaps across macaroons in a milkshake river and flees a giant apple while running toward the camera Crash Bandicoot-style. The most drastic difference is the inclusion of 3D boss fights and platforming sequences. It also incorporates checkpoints and generous retries, which curbs most of the original’s challenge. Sega’s new downloadable remake of the aforementioned Genesis platformer outperforms those titles, but it ends up feeling formulaic by modern standards.Ĭastle of Illusion isn’t a one-to-one remake of the original, but it features familiar levels, bosses, and side-scrolling platforming sequences. Junction Point’s console Epic Mickey games disappointed Mouseketeers, as did DreamRift’s spiritual successor to the 1990 Genesis classic Castle of Illusion on 3DS. Thank god I had my GameBoy Advance, because on the console side, it was kinda dreadful, with a lack of variety.Mickey Mouse has had a tough run in games recently. (* are games I sold/traded and bought other copies later and ° are the games I sold/trade and never bothered finding again) Super Mario World Super Mario Advance 2.Pokémon Red (Got that one from trading).Pokémon Crystal (Got that one from trading).Dragon Ball Z Legendary Super Warriors (No idea where I got this from).Sonic Adventure 2 Battle (Got it late though).The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess (One of the first game I got bought full price, still counting it, but it kinda mark when I started getting most of my game myself).Quest 64 (Bought that one with a friend).There was a time I sold games at EBGames or traded them to get new one, but in the end, I ended up buying all those back years later. So did not got a lots of game actually haha Otherwise, played most of my game rented. Well, most of my childhood, I mostly only got games at birthday and Christmas. We all did that with our games, so your library was multiplied by however many classmates had the same console as you! I remember a friend got Streets of Rage, so that meant we'd all take turns to borrow it and no one else needed to buy it. A couple of quid was within pocket money range that you could buy a budget/older release very regularly.ġ6-bit era I would still only get games at X-mas and birthdays like you OP, but again could always borrow from friends, swap/trade and so many local independent-run shops that would trade and part-exchange games, I still managed to always have something new to play. ![]() I had a good few boxed games too, the ones in regular cassette tape boxes were pretty cheap and sold almost everywhere, little corner shops, newsagents even. Tough to remember specifics after that, once I got a Spectrum it was all trading and cover tapes, so always had something new to play. I would play them for hours on a Sunday afternoon (only time the TV was free!) I think that was it! I never had any more games for the 2600. Super Street Fighter 2 (not mine technically, cousin's copy, but became mine by default lol)Ītari 2600: Pac-Man, Ms Pac-Man, Space Invaders, E.T.To keep it concise I'll chose two platform, both my favorite for each respective generation. Regrets, but that's lifeīut like many, I mostly rented, played other games a friends and family homes, or traded and lent games out, to expand access to other games. I donated most of my collections as a kid. However, I remember most of the games I personally owned. Later on, I bought games with summer job money. I owned both a Genesis and SNES, not too common for folks in my family's income range. Sometimes I got practical gift for one of them. I only got a game for my birthday and Christmas, but not always. Mostly because games were expensive for my family as a kid. ![]() I remember a good portion of my libraries.
