DuckTales: The Quest for Gold Longplay (C64) [QHD]

Game Info --------------------------------------------------- Developer: Incredible Technologies Publisher: Titus France/Walt Disney Company Year of Release: 1990 Game Review & Impressions --------------------------------------------------- One of the first games I played on my Amiga was DuckTales: The Quest for Gold, and Scrooge McDuck's quest to earn more money than arch rival Glomgold became one of my favourite titles on the machine. The game was also ported to the Commodore 64, which I always thought looked really good in screenshots. I wanted to see how this version stacked up next to its 16-bit counterpart, so dove right in. I will mention I used a recent, unofficial cartridge release of the game, which fixes one of the chief complaints about the original release, which was the amount of loading. Given the random and unpredictable way in which players can choose to visit locations around the map, I can imagine the loading would have been quite onerous on disk and would have ruled out cassette tape completely. The core game is, for the most part, identical to the Amiga. Players assume the role of Scrooge McDuck, who is locked in competition with Flintheart Glomgold to earn the most money in 30 days and be named Dime Magazine's Duck of the Year. Much of the game involves jetting off to remote locations around the globe to hunt for treasure, with McDuck supported by nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie, disaster-prone pilot Launchpad McQuack, and daughter Webigail. Each treasure location involves completing a basic mini-game, such as navigating treacherous swamps, ascending perilous mountains with a grappling hook, spelunking in haunted caves, or taking photos of rare animals on safari. Apart from some missing graphics, these all work the same as the 16-bit version, and in some cases actually run faster as well! Overall, I was pretty impressed by the C64 conversion of DuckTales. The graphics, for the most part, are excellent, and the gameplay is virtually identical. I think the loading drew a lot of criticism back in the day, but the EasyFlash cart version makes this a non-issue. Chapters --------------------------------------------------- TBC
