Maybe the first game I ever remember playing. Renting a Sega Genesis (you could do that then!) and playing Steamboat Willie while dancing around the room because I had to pee so bad and didn't realize their was a pause function.

Honestly not bad aside from the difficulty. I don't know why people hate this game now.

I recall really enjoying this game. I was a big Mickey fan as a kid and this covered a lot of his most famous cartoons.

Classic, classic example of a game being designed art first, gameplay distant second. Incredible visuals - truly looks like you're playing a cartoon - but it's instantly frustrating because the hitboxes for Mickey, the enemies, the hazards, the powerups, and everything else are just laid over all this elaborate animation without much consideration given to how that's actually going to play. And how it plays is bad! Levels are short, maddening gauntlets where you feel like you're just desperately trying to survive until the next screen. Not sure that's what they were going for with this ostensibly cute, fun retrospective of Mickey's history. It's a shame, though; it's a great concept and it looks spectacular! It's even got some convincing faux-3D in there. But it's not worth the struggle.

The game is more interested in being visually interesting but it's fine.

I played this game a lot as a kid, but in retrospect it's actually kind of bad and annoying... The graphics are nice, but all of the sprites are so large that it makes the game itself obnoxious to play since it's a pain to avoid colliding with various hitboxes.
