Disney's DuckTales is a 1989 2D platformer published by Capcom for the Nintendo Entertainment System. It is based on the cartoon of the same name, and is one in a successful line of Capcom-produced Disney games. It was followed in 1993 by DuckTales 2.
About
DuckTales is often the subject of NES-related nostalgia and was generally popular. The game provides a good example of the work produced by Capcom in the late 1980s and early 1990s, along with such titles as those in the Mega Man franchise; both shared key personnel such as Tokuro Fujiwara, Keiji Inafune and Yoshihiro Sakaguchi. DuckTales has much in common with the Mega Man games: bright and colorful graphics, tight play control with unique gameplay dynamics (such as using Scrooge's cane as a weapon, tool, and pogo stick), and non-linear gameplay.
Characters
- Scrooge McDuck - The player controls Scrooge throughout the game, making use of a variety of techniques, while collecting different items.
- The Beagle Boys - the Beagle Boys show up occasionally, usually as guardians of a passage or they have taken Scrooge's nephews captive.
