- DuckTales (NES) DuckTales is a widely beloved spinoff, both for its TV show and for its NES game. Unlike other Disney titles at the time, DuckTales doesn't base itself on another game, and is instead a wholly unique experience.
- Aladdin (Genesis) While the SNES Aladdin was an admirable entry, the version on Genesis even stands above that. While both games follow the same basic plot and structure, the Genesis version introduces two key differences.
- Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (Genesis, Saturn) Castle of Illusion is a title that really encapsulates Disney magic, while doing quite a good job at emulating a Mario game.

One of Disney's earliest licensed games is also one of its absolute best. Ducktales (awoo oo) was one of several Capcom games based on popular Disney movies and TV shows. While all of these games were at least pretty good, Ducktales is still the crowning achievement of this partnership. Scrooge's suite of abilities--the cane pogo and ability to wha...
Chip 'n Dale's Rescue Rangers took the classic chipmunk duo and turned them into adventuring heroes. Similarly, this video game adaptation had the pair side-scrolling their way through stages to rescue their mechanic friend Gadget from the villainous Fat Cat. One thing that set Rescue Rangers apart was the way that it played with scale. Like the ca...
While the Disney afternoon cartoons were getting a lot of love and attention from Capcom on NES, Disney licensed its most classic and iconic character to Sega for the Genesis. Castle of Illusion had Mickey Mouse venturing into the titular castle to save Minnie from the dark wizard Mizrabel. Similar to Ducktales, Mickey had a bounce attack that coul...
While lots of Disney's characters in this era lent themselves to traditional side-scrolling platformers, TaleSpin was the exception. The cartoon featured Baloo the bear and other Jungle Book characters in a fictionalized 1930s. Baloo was a bush pilot accompanied by his business manager Rebecca and adventuring sidekick Kit. So when it came time to a...
The Little Mermaid was marketed as Disney's grand return to animated feature films based on classic fairy tales, so of course it needed to be adapted into a video game. This game was unique in that it was a character side-scroller, but it took place almost entirely underwater. The core swimming mechanic gave Ariel more range of movement than would ...
The eternally jealous Donald Duck got his own game adaptation from Sega right after Mickey. In this one, the temperamental fowl was an Indiana Jones-like adventurer, navigating ancient tombs and dungeons. Instead of a traditional sidearm, he had a weapon that could shoot things like plungers and popcorn balls. Donald hunts down a treasure only to u...
Obviously Sega couldn't hog all the Mickey for themselves. Capcom had its own Mickey Mouse game, which conspicuously made sure to say "Starring Mickey Mouse" right in the title, just like Castle of Illusion. Magical Quest took Mickey on a similarly magical journey, but this time Capcom added some of its own flavor with a range of varying costumes t...
As all '90s kids know: when there's trouble you call D-W. This adventuring series might have been the Disney cartoon that lent itself the most to a video game, but it was a latecomer compared to many of Capcom's others. Darkwing Duck was a side-scrolling action game similar to the Mega Man series, with a sidearm that shot gas pellets to incapacitat...
The Aladdin game may be the pinnacle of the 16-bit era of Disney games, and is still widely regarded as one of the best Disney licensed games of all time. The adaptation turned the down-on-his-luck street rat into a swashbuckling hero, complete with a sword. ("You idiots! We've all got swords!") Aladdin could toss apples at enemies, and the presenc...
If some Disney licensed games owed a lot of their identity to contemporaries like Mega Man, The Jungle Book took a different approach and based itself almost entirely on Pitfall. It was a platformer in the classic sense, as Mowgli had to navigate environmental obstacles in a jungle full of things trying very hard to kill him. You swung from vines, ...
