Game: DuckTales 2
Developer: Capcom
Platform: Gameboy

What is it?

DuckTales was first released in the United States for the Nintendo Entertainment System by Capcom in 1989. In this game, Scrooge Mcduck travels around the world collecting treasures to become the world's richest duck. The game was later ported to Gameboy platform.

DuckTales is a nostalgic gameboy game which i played it when i was about 8 or 9. I remembered that the graphics are gray scale due to the very nostalgic platform -gameboy. The gameplay in this game is very interesting as Scrooge's weapon is his cane.The cane can be used as a stick to make him jump higher, as a pulling tool and as a weapon against the enemies as well. One thing to mention is that this game is a non linear game whereby players can sort of revisit levels to get items that unlock parts of other levels. To me, this game is like a puzzle game whereby players have to think how to get to another point by using the available tools there.[which is kind of cool to me and it leaves me a deep impression till now]


There are five levels in this game which can be played in any order, so it gives more user's control to which level they want to complete first. Scrooge has to defeat the boss at the end of each level. Each boss are unique for these five levels. Also, this game is more of a exploration game where players search for their percious treasure in each level. Sometimes the treasures are hidden and players has to look for it using their wit. Hints are provided at certain parts of the levels to hint the player(scrooge) what to do etc. These hints are provided by Scrooge's 3 nephews to guide or restrict the places where Scrooge can or cannot go to.Upon finishing all the five levels, the player is directed back to Transylvania for the final boss fight.





Overall
The asthetics for the game is very nostlagic to me and i kind of missed this kind of game. This game is a explorative game and at the same time it is a non linear platform game which adds more value/fun/interest level to this game.
