How do you make a game out of Pinocchio? WHY do you make a game out of Pinocchio, in 1995?
Well, you don't.
Pinnochio has like, 4 or 5 platformer stages and then the rest are all minigames. They're inoffensive at best and a drag at worst. That's all the fat to chew in the entire package.
It at least isn't super-hard or cheap compared to some others, and the animation for the character sprites is arguably Disney & Virgin's best works. But it's fucking Pinocchio: It's not a story that's very diegetic to this kind of game or genre. I didn't like this growing up and it's just a limp noodle coming back to it now.
