Tag: Disney Afternoon Collection

The end of the Disney Afternoon week on the channel, the universe, and the most mind-blowing revelation since Baby Yoda getting punched in the face. And just because I feel like it, you’re getting this one early in the morning. All hail the once and future Squirrel Kings.

Which is the graver injustice? That this sequel is better than the original game that people actually like or that Scrooge McDuck plagiarized all of Darkwing Duck’s best bits? I wish I could say “all this and more,” but really, all I do is talk about the game and the rest is saved for your imagination… such as it is.

TaleSpin… it exists.

We continue our descent into Disney Afternoon madness with another game that was long overdue to be knocked off the proverbial bucket list.

If you’re wondering why the usual Rescue Rangers theme isn’t playing you into the video, blame the mouse. Hence, the more CID-friendly Squirrel King theme.

Five days of NES Disney Afternoon kicks off with that game people likes. Had to some last minute changes due to the dreaded Copyright ID gimmick; apparently, you can’t have 8-bit rendition of old cartoon themes playing in your opening schtick. So what should have had familiar childhood memories for most of the audience has become stock themes from the aforementioned games.

Funny how I didn’t have this issue with Darkwing Duck last year… maybe the mouse finally caught up?
