Today I would like to recall another childhood game console Dendy. Like "Black cloak," game "DuckTales" was published in explanation of the then popular cartoon series, which saw everyone children.

And I, of course, included. Since cartoon we liked, we could not go through and past the games made on it. In the game, as expected, it is necessary to control the main character animation - the richest duck in the world, Scrooge McDuck. The crosshairs on the joystick asked the direction of motion (left, right, seated), ducks, and two function buttons dendy's joystick responsible for "jumping" character and use their own sticks. This cane at Scrooge in the game becomes much more important than it was in his "cartoon" of life. From now on, stick to it - and weapons, and tools for higher jumps, rocks, etc. Poking Disney duckling fights in the game like no other zaprygivaya on enemies, holding his cane bottom. Most of the opponents, apparently, can not bear the terrible strike ofi McDuck and from the first blow (if there is not bosses) die. In the game with 5 levels and one is not mandatory, secret. Pass - a couple of weeks. If you try. Levels differ from each other. In one of them to explore the jungle, in the other - sort of "waterfall" area. In the third - the island with the natives. At the end of each level to fight with the local "authority" (well - the boss, I mean). What, in my opinion, always adds the charm of a toy. In general - will not find it. However, there is now hardly any man will probably play this game. Still, this is Dendy. Still - primitive graphics and sound design. For 8-bit consoles is cool. But for the current generation of gamers, jaded special effects, shading and direct x, photo-realistic graphics, this game will be able to compete unless with java-games for mobile phones. Not for nothing has appeared emulators, 8-bit consoles to cell phones. However, for its time, somewhere in the mid to late nineties of the last century (as it sounds! Of the last century ...) this toy was very popular. So, I decided that about it worth mentioning. I myself have it, of course, passed. Moreover, interestingly, the game can go 2 finals. Low - it's just complete all the required levels. At the end of the main boss and wet all over. The second method - is to find all the pieces of the map. Some cards do not know what a map, but in parallel with the passing game you can find. Although it is not necessary. If still you try to find the card completely, then open another secret level (I have already mentioned about it) with another boss in the end. And since nothing else have not changed. Here I sit now and think: "What made me take this game well ... 3 times, not less. Search all the "secrets" .... " Why did I do that? I do not know. I think the point is that while each cartridge was "worth its weight in gold." So I was walking throw somewhere in 9 / 10 games, which I came across. Almost regardless of whether they were interesting or not ... Now you can easily buy a new game (the money has become more and games for sale - too), but because I pass complete only those games that really "take the quick" - well, as "Loco Roco" or "Sonic Rivals", which I described recently.
