As a 90's kid, I played A LOT the Disney's Magical Quest trilogy. My favorite was the one with Donald and this one, the first one, was the one I played the least. Not only because there was no extra character (like Minnie or Donald) and no cooperative gameplay, but also because I'd say it was far way more difficult than the other two sequels. I used to die more often and was only able to beat the game playing with my older brother. Years later I managed to beat the game myself but I've always preferred the other instalments in this trilogy.

That being said, I love this game: the story, the different outfits with different powers Mickey can get (best outfit? Magician is great but the mountain-climbing gear was the best for me!). The enemies were fun, the music was quite memorable and I like the fact that you have to save your dog Pluto from Emperor Pete! (there should be a subgenre in games and movies about this, something like "hero must defeat bad guy to save his/her dog"). Writing this makes me feel like playing it again. It's really a 90's classic and it will always have a place in my heart.
