The Disney Afternoon Collection

As a child i first played chip and dale games on a console called terminator 2 , that was sold in Romania at that time . Later i found out that that console and also the disks were not actually original nintendo products , but it is what it is and this is how most of us in eastern europe enjoyed nintendo games. Years later i can play these games again , and it brings me so much joy and nostalgia.

The Disney Ball torture collection

These games are harder than dark souls, how hardcore have we been to play and enjoy this. Unreal. Something that was easy many years ago now feels way too hard to be enjoyable. Still the collection is done well, everything works and controls are as good as they can be.

This is a collection of six of the best platforming games on the NES. Capcom had a knack for creating simple, charming and challenging platform games in the early 90s and these games are a fantastic showcase of everything the company did right. While the games are overly simplistic, they often have nuanced bits of challenge in them that require a little bit of effort to figure out. I like that the game includes controller instructions and the time attack mode and overall presentation is great. To rate each game on here individually:
Darkwing Duck: This is the hardest game of these six and one of the most fun to play. Darkwing Duck moves very slowly so you really have to play strategically to win. My only main gripe with the game is the powerups are pretty much useless. The boss fights are great, in particular a mole boss who you have to figure out how to kill by knocking out one of his flame launchers and shooting at him as he tries to repair it. This game feels a lot like Megaman and also the NES version of Batman- 8.5/10
Tailspin: This one is a hidden gem that I simply wish took a little bit more time and effort to master. While it's definitely flawed, the ability to flip the plane around and fly backwards, sometimes scrolling the screen back with you, is very impressive for the time. I found this game super hard when I was younger and gave up on it, but on a replay I found it too easy. It's just very daunting in the first few levels until you collect enough money to power up your weapons and progress- 8/10
Ducktales- Probably the most well known game in this collection and an absolutely classic platformer- the music is probably the best on the NES. Particularly the Moon and Transylvania level themes. It's also kind of cryptic and takes some effort to figure out, but once you know how to play it it's very easy and can be finished in under 15 minutes. I just wish the bosses were harder. 9/10
Ducktales 2- This is probably the best one on here for a young kid to play today as it's very intuitive. You can play it two ways, by either collecting the map pieces along with the hidden items or just rushing and killing the bosses. The latter method will let you finish the game in about twenty minutes. The bosses are for the most part way too simplistic and while the game has some crafty mechanics it's much more forgettable than the original- 8/10
Chip 'N Dale Rescue Rangers- Easily my least favorite of these games- it has a unique mechanic of throwing boxes or hiding under them. The level designs aren't terrible but unfortunately the only way the devs could create artificial difficulty was to have the enemies run at you and jump at random along with box the player into a corner (You can hide in the box to negate this but I didn't know it until the end of the game). The boss fights are a mixed bag- the final boss attacks you with his cigar by throwing ashes at you from behind a desk- he doesn't even move. It's probably the most pathetic final boss on the NES - 7/10
Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers 2- Much improved over the original- maps are way more interactive and the boss fights are significantly more elaborate. The first boss is probably the most impressive because it involves moving waterfalls and a lot of tricky mechanics- also the second half of the game taking place in an amusement park is inspired. Final boss is also a lot better, you can actually just dodge him and eventually he will commit suicide with his own bombs. This game is just more polished and interesting - 8/10

You'll probably buy it for Ducktales, but all of these games are great, the time attack and boss rush modes are fun too. You can't really go wrong with these even if you aren't necessarily a retro fan. 8/10.

A great discount game, these Digital Eclipse nostalgia packs seem to get that it's competing with emulators and are fully featured with rewinds and save states, and in this case even a time attack (and boss time attack) modes. Lots of fun revisiting Ducktales and Rescue Rangers and discovering the other four games. There were some hiccups (sprites would disappear sometimes making you have to guess where enemies were, but it was rare) but all in all it was a blast.

AS a person who grew up with these games on the NES, this was a welcomed stroll down memory lane. Especially with the fact that these are not changed in any significant way, but just a fresh release of the original experience.
Absolutely recommend this to anyone old enough to remember them, but also as a good reference to how games used to be.

Good emulation
My games ranking is:
Ducktales 2 8.2/10
Ducktales 1 8/10
Chip n dale rescue Rangers 1 = chip n dale rescue Rangers 2 both of them 6.5/10
Darkwing duck poor man megaman 6/10
Talespin couldn't finished because its garbage
I Recommend the collection on sale not full price
