Author/Vendor: Disney Software
Released: various
Type: Platform
Language: English
Premise: A series of arcade games of various quality featuring Disney's number one animated star, Mickey Mouse
Impressions: I never was a really big fan, but most of these arcade games do the franchise justice. At worst they are run-of-the-mill, at best they are as fantastic as only Disney can produce. Get 'em and judge for yourself.
Variations: Castle of Illusion (1990 by Capcom, released in Japan under the title Mickey and Minnie's Magical Adventure - Mickey must save Minnie from the clutches of the evil witch Mizrabel)
Mickey's Ultimate Challenge (1991 by Hi-Tech Expressions, you can play as Mickey or Minnie as they get to take part in a fairy tale themed adventure)
Fantasia (1991 by Infogrames, loosely derived from "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" segment of the movie in which Mickey must recover all the notes missing from his master's music)
World of Illusion (1992 by Illusion Soft, released in Japan as Fushigina Majiku Bokusu - Mickey and Donald are practicing a magic act and are sucked into a world of real magic by an evil magician)
