Help me understand all the 90's Disney games
TyrannicalFascist:
I'm back again with another round of "help me figure out a game series I haven't followed"! This time, I'm trying to figure out the many Disney-based games that came out in the 90's, specifically for SNES, Genesis, Game Boy and Game Gear. I rented Disney games here and there back in the day, and I remember that some of them (particularly Capcom's) were pretty fun. Now that I've seen Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion for 3DS in action, I want to go back and find out about the best Disney games from the 90's.
I've done some homework on this, so I'm looking for confirmation that I got it right, and any suggestions on best versions or games to avoid.
"Illusion" series:
-Castle of Illusion (Genesis)
-Land of Illusion (GG)
-World of Illusion (Genesis)
-Legend of Illusion (GG)
Donald Duck games:
-Quackshot (Genesis)
-Luck Dime Caper (GG)
-Deep Duck Trouble (GG)
Movie and TV-based games:
-Pinocchio (SNES, Genesis)
-Fantasia (Genesis) - I hear this one is bad and probably not worth it
-The Jungle Book (SNES, Genesis)
-Ariel the Little Mermaid (Genesis) - I hear this one is bad
-Beauty and the Beast (SNES)
-Beauty and the Beast: Belle's Quest (Genesis)
-Beauty and the Beast: Roar of the Beast (Genesis)
-Aladdin (SNES) - More of a jumping platformer
-Aladdin (Genesis) - Different than SNES, platforming with a sword (I have this one)
-The Lion King (SNES, Genesis)
-Goof Troop (SNES)
The Magical Quest series:
-The Magical Quest (SNES) - ported to GBA, with Minnie and save feature added
-The Great Circus Mystery (SNES, Genesis) - ported to GBA as "Magical Quest 2", save feature added
-The Magical Quest 3 (SFC only) - ported to GBA
And then there's all the versions of Mickey Mania. I hear the SNES version is the weakest, and that the Genesis or Sega CD version is preferrable. And there's Mickey's Speedway USA for N64, which I understand is made by Rare, so I'll definitely have to check that out. When I eventually get an NES, I'll of course be tracking down DuckTales and Rescue Rangers.

You forgot Donald duck in Maui mallard - genesis
Maui mallard in cold shadow - snes
Donald duck going quackers - ps2
Of the ones you posted, the illusion series are all solid games. I played land and legend on the MS rather than GG though.
Quack shot and lucky dime I can also vouch for - although I remember quack shot being bloody hard.
I liked Aladdin on snes, but I played that before the genesis version. Not sure how they compare
