New Year, old games. Got myself a Retron 5 to play all those Gameboy, Color and Advance games I had on the big screen... and maybe also get an excuse to get games that I probably won't be able to get on the modern consoles, like Battle for Olympus for the NES. Also, if I'm able to snag some strange German or French version of a game... just patch it with language patch. I always like new toys. Plus, the save state function clearly helps a lot, for example in this game!
Ducktales 2, my first gameboy game that my dad bought me as I've saved up all my allowance to get the Game Boy Pocket. The last Game Boy Gumpei Yokoi worked on before leaving Nintendo. Basically the same story as the first Ducktales. Huey, Dewey and Louie finds a treasure map and Scrooge set out to gather treasures around the world. You travel to the Niagara Falls, the Bermuda Triangle, Egypt, Scotland and Mu. Although, the world map doesn't make sense... or maybe it's really packed.
You travel to each stage, find Gyro to upgrade your abilities, find parts of a map or some extra boss before beating a boss and on to the next stage. I left Scotland as the last stage and it's the hardest of them all. Spikes kills you as they are both on the ceiling and the floor at the same time forcing you to somehow be able to use some trick move where you abort the jump before hitting the ceiling and start it before hitting the floor. And if that isn't enough you have those floating hands that push you over the insta death pits... with moving platforms. At least the boss was easy enough.
After getting all the treasures (and maybe found all map pieces to get another area which I didn't) Webby is kidnapped by Glomgold so you take all the treasures to the pirate ship in the Bermuda triangle where you fight the D-1000, which I assume stands for Duck-1000 and is a parody of the T-1000 from the Terminator-movies. Had some problem until I figured out his pattern that went something like, go under him as he hangs from the ceiling to avoid attack, then jump on him and then repeat five times and he's dead. That was simple.
Beat it once as a kid, but on easy... but I don't get what the differences is while playing it again. I finished it on Difficult this time and I can't say what was different from the other settings. Took maybe 30 - 45 minutes. Enhanced the game with colour so at least the platforms was easy to spot where to jump. Fun game, would have been nice to play the Disney Afternoon Collection so I could experience the NES version, but of course they never released it for the Switch and unless they rerelease them for the new consoles I can pretty much forget getting those games.
