@@TheMarcHicks It's just one reason why I like this channel. Im sure many of us have enjoyed something Disney has produced. Yet, in the back of our minds we are making snarky comments about the company. Well, at least for me. My wife really likes Disney stuff, even worked at the Disney store in college. I use to make snarky jokes about the company. Still, she would give me the evil eye. I keep quiet now so my wife can enjoy what she likes. I still mentally make snarky comments. I would not voice them now out of respect and love for my wife. But, how I enjoy when other people do it :)

I'm English and my brother had this Castle Of Illusion on the Megadrive in the early 90's. I always use to play it after school and was so easy Years later i got a Megadrive off ebay and all the games he used to have. Brings back lots of happy memories. I'm 34 now.

It must have been one of the first 16-bit games I played. Back then around 1990, there were three games commonly used as demos at our local toy store; Sonic, Golden Axe, and this! Later replaced by Quack Shot. Man, I can even sense the smell of that store as I watch this! It wasn't until some years later that I actually played through Castle of Illusion, after a friend got it for the Game Gear. I have a hard time keeping the actual game content apart from Disney's Magical Quest, since I played that around the same time as the GG version of Illusion. But that magical feeling you got from those early 16-bit, and Capcom-era, Disney games, that never goes away.

Interesting trivia, you hit all the expected talking points like gameplay, visuals and music etc, some subtle-enough comedy without going over the top and wasting my time with channel-specific in-jokes I don't give a fuck about, no skits about you and your undoubtedly hilarious friends that take up half the review, and decent audio quality.

Now that you played this, I'd recommend you to give the Master System version a spin to compare them. Sure, the MS version doesn't have the visual or audio pizazz of the Mega Drive version, but in terms of level design and gameplay, I prefer the MS version (I'd say the final boss is even a tad cooler than the one in the MD version).

Not that this was my first Genesis rodeo, but I was in awe of the disparity in general for a good spell, and this game was among the early graphical heavy hitters to be sure. Cool to see it again. It's been almost 30 years.
