In late 1991, Sega released this excellent and much underrated game. Travel around the world with Donald Duck in your search for special items in your search for King Garuzia's treasure.
This game was released about the same time as the mighty Super NES, and it could compete with anything that system had to offer. Some of the best 16-bit graphics ever. The characters are all very detailed and colourful. The Bosses are even better. Of course there is the animation of Donald himself when he gets tired of standing in one place for too long. The best thing this game offers in terms of graphics is the backgrounds-which are simple outstanding. Each stage greatly varies from the next, from Egypt to Mexico, to the amazing opening stage in Duckberg The sound effects set the stage perfectly, as they change from the energetic tunes from Duckberg to Mexico, to the quiet, eerie sounds of the Mexican pyramid to Transylvania.
This game has great gameplay, The screen moves as you move, revealing more screen for you to move, enemies could be there as well. There are a lot of different areas, and tasks to do, which makes this game very fun but challenging. You can use your weapons in more ways than one which is great. I must say, that the Sega Mega Drive not having many games like this, it really is great.
There are so many side scrolling platform games on the Sega Mega Drive, so you are probably wondering if good old Quackshot is worth playing. In a word yes. Give it a try, even if you have played many of the other hundreds of "side scrolling platform games". Overall, Quackshot gets an 8 out of 10 from me.
