While I do have fond memories of this game from my youth, I'm not going to let it taint my review as of 2013. This was one of the first games I got when I was 12 and I wasn't disappointed that Christmas. With that said, this game is really good but not perfect, there are some flaws that keep it in the 4 star realm for me. The game plays well, and it proves/proved that the Gameboy could be just as engaging as the NES was. There is a lot to do and a lot of secrets to find. One problem is the controls sometimes let you down with the pogo action, leaving you a little frustrated during tricky sections. This is only a small problem though, as it gives you something to try to perfect and the benefits outweigh the problems. Another problem I found was that there are sometimes pits that you're supposed to fall down, and there are instant-death pits that you're not supposed to fall down, and they look the same! This is obviously a problem in level design, but if you get the feel for the context of the level it's sort of apparent what you're supposed to do. Another small problem for me was the music, which was great 95% of the time, that will hit a sour note at climactic times in the music that was great on the NES but didn't translate to the Gameboy completely. Overall all the characters that you might have liked in the cartoon are in the game like Gyro and the Beagle Boys, not to mention Bubba Duck and Webby. Capcom was one of the very best developers for the Gameboy and this game shows that they were. This game is definitely in the upper ranks of the GB library even though it's not at the top IMO.Read full review
I purchased this Duck Tales Gameboy Game for my 3-year-old nephew to start learning Gameboy. It was not a great choice for his age, I think he needs to be 6-9 probably to play this game. The levels seem difficult for cartoon figures - not very straight-forward for the young age group. Though at this very young age, I think recognition of the characters is of major interest to the kids and the game is great in this realm.
Duck Tales was my first Nintendo game boy game, back then I was 11 years old... wow now i´m 32 and have the pleasure to have it once again in my hands, but this time a VGA 90+ Graded!!!! Duck tales by far one of the best games of a lost era.
An NES classic that became a GameBoy classic!
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
A direct port of the NES version for our original Game Boys! As terrific as that version was, this one is also good, even with the lesser capability of the GB. If you have played the NES version, then you totally know what to expect, and then some!
