Its summer, which means that indoor kids like me stay away from the hot sun and do things like play video games Old video games. Disney video games. This summer at Passport to Dreams, Im playing the Disney Capcom classic games and writing about them. Change Setup Icon Advanced Installer. All of them. Adventures in the Magic Kingdom June 1. While Hurricane Irma was bearing down on Florida, at the Passport to Dreams World HQ, I was playing NES. The Island Us Episodes here. As always this 3. Its a profound product, as iconic and in its own way as American as the hula hoop. The NES is an affordable passport, and when I was young, it was one of the only methods I had of visiting Disney World from my home in the northeast. Im speaking, of course, of Capcoms legendary, infuriating Adventures in the Magic Kingdom. On a video game system chock a block with hallucinatory plumbers, sentient robots, Geiger esque alien monsters, and eggplant wizards, Adventures in the Magic Kingdom is truly, bizarrely memorable. A grab bag of the obtuse and the frustrating, in a time when just about there best way to revisit a Disney theme park was a hardcover book, a VHS tape, or a board game, Capcom delivered a game with a fairly accurate, reasonably engaging representation of the parks it was based on.

The Longest Day Colorized Music' title='The Longest Day Colorized Music' />Adventures in the Magic Kingdom is a baffling creature. To begin with, the game is obviously based on Disneyland, but the cover of the game and the title uses the Walt Disney World terminology. Make no mistake that Sleeping Beauty Castle back there behind the title screen. This game puts you in the shoes of an unidentified kid dressed as a Jungle Cruise skipper khaki outfit, goofy hat, and all. You are tasked with retrieving six silver keys which will open the door to the Magic Castle so the parade can begin. This takes the form of six mini games of varying levels of completeness and difficulty. Lets tour them in order of most infuriating to least. Space Mountain seems to be a reused tech demo from another game. Stars fly towards the viewer, creating a surprisingly effective illusion of depth very impressive for the NES in 1. In this game, Mickey announces that he will be your navigator and that you must reach Star F. This makes no sense at all until you olay the game a few times. At the bottom of the screen, a cursor will illuminate, and you must press this button on your control pad quickly fail three times, and youre kicked back outside. Besides navigating, asteroids and Star Destroyers yes, Star Destroyers direct from Star Wars will fly at you, requiring you to fire one of two lasers to destroy them. This sounds simple, but navigating and firing lasers starts off unforgiving and only gets tougher from there. While the star field effect is cool, its hard to stick with this game long enough to make it compelling the visuals never change. It can be beaten in a few minutes, but from a presentation perspective and with an eye on the difficulty, its hard to get too excited about Space Mountain. Big Thunder Mountain conceptually identical to Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain at least is interesting to look at and fun to play. Its also over in less than a minute, which counts for something. This time Cowboy Mickey unhelpfully explains that you must arrive at Station Four again, no explanation provided. The game is a cross between a coaster and a pachinko game, with runaway trains crossing railroad switches and avoiding rocks. One of the nice things about this game is that its just simple enough that by the time youre ready to give up on it, you manage to beat it. Trivia Game the cheapest of the six games, the trivia game at least doesnt force you to start over when you mess up. C2aEm-CWIAAIxVf.jpg' alt='The Longest Day Colorized Music' title='The Longest Day Colorized Music' />In this one, you have to walk around the park talking to various guests, who will ask you Disney trivia questions. It goes on about twice as long as you feel like it should, and at one point, one of the great controller throwing moments in NES games occurs, where for no reason the dog who has the key attached to his collar yes, Pluto runs away because You scared him. The next person asks you three extra hard questions, because of course they do. By far the most memorable aspect of this game is how incredibly strange the questions are seemingly taken direct from Dave Smiths Ultimate Disney Trivia with an eye towards being as frustrating as possible. Are you noticing a trend with Adventures in the Magic KingdomAutopia turns out to be a fairly fully featured version of games like Spy Hunter and Bump n Jump. Maybe the most fully enjoyable game in the set, its none the less pretty tough requiring memorization of where to land after jumps, and the ability to brake quickly to cross moving bridges. At least it only requires that you get to the end no real racing, in other words. Pirates of the Caribbean an ambitious, beautifully visualized homage to the attraction, Pirates seems to be inspired by Konamis The Goonies, a kick and punch platform game for the MSX and Famicom that really has nothing to do with the film its based on. Avoiding pirates, traveling through skeleton infested tunnels, and jumping along burning buildings here would be more fun if the controls were less sluggish. The Longest Day Colorized Music' title='The Longest Day Colorized Music' />Did you know that Adventures in the Magic Kingdom gives you a power up screen If you press Select, you can cash in all those stars youve been collecting to give yourself an extra heart or freeze all of the enemies onscreen. This makes the game significantly more manageable, and would have really saved my butt as a kid, except I didnt know about it, because I always rented this game and never had access to a manual. Since its the only place in the game with unaltered Japanese grammar fight would be gambare, which means something more like overcome the obstacles I kind of suspect that the English localizers didnt know about this either. Power up screen or no, at least the Pirates level gives you a few hit points before you have to start over although they do you few favors, really. The longest and maybe toughest event in the game, this masterpiece of frustration is only outdone by the next level. The Haunted Mansion the Haunted Mansion level is this game, simply put. The most graphically inventive and varied of the levels in the game, its also perverseley, intensely frustrating, like a Mega Man boss level from hell. Game designer Bamboo really Yoshinori Takenaka, who designed Duck. Tales really went all out here. From the introductory screen where skulls jump up from behind tombstones, to dodging dancing ghosts, to the moment where that beautiful 8 bit representation of the Disneyland Mansion comes into view, this entire level induces rage and awe in equal measure. Theres the floating chairs and self playing organ at the middle of the stage, and the clever riff on the Hitch hiking ghosts mirrors seen as you enter reused in The Great Circus Mystery, but far creepier here. Near the end of the first floor, theres what looks like a potted plant sitting on a window sill, but wait for lightning to flash outside the windows and youll see its actually a ghoul peering inside The Haunted Mansion level is full of cool stuff like that, and its arguably the best and most iconic of one of Capcoms favored level design tropes, the haunted house see Duck. Tales, Duck. Tales 2, Chip n Dale 2, The Great Circus Mystery, Tale. Spin heck, Resident Evil.
