Master System Longplay [013] - Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse - PAL

A playthrough of Castle of Illusion on Master System for the poor kids . A very well-done sort-of-port of the Mega Drive version that plays to it's own strengths. Tighter and more responsive controls, the ability to pick up, place and throw large objects (instead of throwing apples), non-linear paths and a few puzzles scattered about helps this version punch above it's weight. Even at 8-bits the graphics still pop with vibrant colours and complex animations (Mickey even has sprites for standing on slopes), and the music survives the transition perfectly intact. And while it lacks "The Storm" level, it does have Sweetland with a giant chocolate bar as a boss. This version is a less linear, more challenging affair than it's bigger brother and more than holds it's own. Recorded on an actual PAL Master System 1 with composite. Release date (UK): 1991-02 Back of the (PAL) box: "The search is on! Mickey is on the trail of a wicked Witch named Mizrabel, who has kidnapped Minnie. Mickey must find seven gems hidden in the fantastic chambers of Mizrabel's Castle of Illusion and use them to save Minnie. Can Mickey find them? It's up to you!" #mastersystem, #Longplay, #RetroGaming, #Sega, #ClassicGames, #Gameplay, #NoCommentary, #FullGame, #Walkthrough, #Gaming, #VideoGames, #RetroGames, #8bitEra, #ConsoleGaming, #platformer, #platformers, #disney, #mickeymouse, #castleofillusion
