Disney had a few really fun games back in the day. You had great platformers like Darkwing Duck, Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, Quackshot, and Mickey Mousecepade. Most of these games were ably created by Capcom, who has a generally good track record in general. So you'd expect Duck Tales to be on par with those games, but it unfortunately falls a little flat.
Duck Tales actually looks really good for an NES game, and the music is pretty good too. It's the gameplay where this game begins to stumble. It took me a while to figure out how to swing Scrooge McDuck's cane, and even longer to be able to swing it reliably. Maybe my system isn't running the game properly, but I've never had this problem with any other game.
With shoddy controls and unclear objectives, Duck Tales just comes up short. I just didn't have much fun with it. Sure, you can play this game, but why would you when there are better Disney games to be had?
