@Madfox_Timmy Did you know?
There is a Game Gear cartridge of Castle of Illusion; except the game runs in Master System mode (i.e. just like with the SMS cartridge adapter, with the Game Gear doing the resolution scaling), to simplify the port.
There are small differences though: https://www.smspower.org/forums/19127-ComparingTheSMSAndGGVersionsOfCastleOfIllusion -

Aaaand "Castle of Illusion" finished!
When do *I* get my Minnie kisses? 😁
So, I really don't like platformer games and only played this because it's Mickey rescuing Minnie, but from someone that doesn't like the genre, it was a very nice-looking and mostly well-done game and I appreciate I could relatively easily complete it without collecting everything. 😅

Right, Disney. Mickey Mouse. Why were games around your mascot so frustratingly difficult in the 90s? This isn't just a #CastleOfIllusion thing. We had Magical Quest, #MickeyMania , I mean World of Illusion wasn't too difficult from memory... But still! That's a lot of Retro Gaming trauma you dumped on us in that generation!
Castle of Illusion is meaner than it has any right to be. Behind that cute facade is a game that is just a little cruel. From enemy placements and patterns to slightly squiffy hit boxes. Also, you need to hold down the D-pad to prepare Mickey's butt to jump on and defeat enemies. That's a weird nuance and very much a choice that is seldom implemented into a 2D platformer.
Is the game good? It's pretty decent, and offers a challenge, but I have beaten it now and I don't see myself rushing back do that all over again!

So I can officially put two more games from my childhood to rest. This time on the good ol' #SegaGenesis or #SegaMegaDrive as I knew it.
The games in question being #RobocopVsTerminator and #CastleOfIllusion I'll go into these games in more detail in separate posts. But man, these games were not easy rides, to say the least.
Growing up, I had access to both Sega and Nintendo consoles as an old friend of mine had a Megadrive whilst I had the SNES. Typically, we would play the arcade co-op games like Streets of Rage and Golden Axe.
On the rare occasion, we would take turns playing a myriad of single-player games, but these two definitely struck a chord with me when I was a kid.

Mi ĵus ludis #CastleofIllusion (refarita de Castle of Illusion (1990). Ĝi estas bona kaj amuza ludo. Ĉe Steam oni povas aĉeti ĝin kontraŭ 13€. Iel ajn, ŝajnas al mi tre multekosta.
