I can never remember how I got most of my old Nintendo games when I was a kid, but I am glad that Duck Tales is one of the games I owned as a child. To put it simply, this game is a lot of fun. You play as Scrooge McDuck and you are trying to become the richest Duck in the world (if he wasn't already). There are several (5 or 6, I can't remember) different areas each with its own boss. You are able to take out enemies by doing a pogo bounce on top of them with your cane. It is a simple (yet classic) way of beating the bad guys. Throughout the game you will see characters from the tv show (I no longer remember the names), including Huey, Dewey and Louie (Scrooge's nephews). With three difficulty levels, this game can be as easy or as difficult as you want it to be. The game retains its replay value over time and is still a lot of fun to play.

Duck Tales has some of the greatest music in game history. Capcom really knew what they were doing back in the day. Just listen to the space level music (which The Advantage does a great cover of). Little did I know, but a large part of why I played so many NES games when I was 5 and 6 was because of their great music. These NES games have had a huge impact on my musical tastes and simply how much music I listen to today.

Were can I begin with Capcom's Disney masterpiece Duck Tales?
This game is a classic example of how great the old Capcom games were on the nintendo and bring back very fond memories. The game focuses on simplistic easy to understand (but addictive) gameplay. Vastly different levels and tons of hidden secrets to find. The game is designed for younger audiences but can (and should) be picked up by anyone.
Graphically for its day this game features nice colorful sprites and is on par with the games released later in the life of the nes. Overall one of the best games released for the system.

this is a fun game, you play as Uncle Scrooge and you are suppose to get you stolen money back from the bad guys. you use your walking cane as your weapon, ( sword, pogo stick )...its fun and very easy to play.

Ducktales is one of the very few games that prove that even the shortest game can succeed. There's only 5 levels, and you repeat 1, but those 5 levels are lengthy.

The plot is that Scrooge McDuck, the richest duck in the world, wants to be even richer by traveling around the world, finding treasures.

You can go to Transylvania, the Amazon, the Moon, the Himalayas, and the African Mines.

Ducktales shares certain similarities to MegaMan, like the level selection, how the levels scroll when you fall, and how there's a boss at the end of every level. In fact, Capcom made this game.

The game is a nice side-scrolling platformer with impressive graphics and upbeat Capcom sounds and music.

I use to always rent this game when I was a kid. I beat this game as a kid also. Much fun and great memories.
