The Lucky Dime Caper Starring Donald Duck Review (Master System)

Genre: Platform

Developer: SEGA

Publisher: SEGA

Release Year: 1991

System: Master System

Going back in time we had several games that shook us up pretty good as kids! Simple yet marvellous those games came to mark up our little minds minds with beautiful graphics sounds and vivid colors! One of those video games were also SEGA's The Lucky Dimer Caper Starring Donald Duck that were released for Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear in 1991.

PLOT: 8/10

The game begins and u take over Donald Duck. Magica DeSpell has kidnapped his three nephews and also stole Scrooge's McDuck Number one Lucky Dime!!! Well only Donald Duck seems capable and crazy enough to start an adventure around the world to rescue his family and to retrieve the Lucky Dime. A classic plot staying true to the comics' ones with well known and beloved characters! What more is there to ask?!

GAMEPLAY: 7/10

The Lucky Dime Caper is a 2D one-way, side scrolling platform game! You control Donald Duck who is equipped with a hammer. The game is divided into stages You attack enemies by hitting them with the hammer (1 button) or throwing discs or jumping on them with the 2 button. The game pauses with the console pause button. To the down left corner of the screen there is a time bar. The red squares on the upper left corner of the screen is Donald's health indicator. A prety simple gameplay and arcade like i could say. The "traps" and "monsters" are there just for the stage to be created and they are not justified by the games plot. Yet the gameplay a bit tricky in a way. For example Donald slides a bit after running resulting many times in very critical situations. He may fall onto an enemy or off a ledge really easily that way.

ATMOSPHERE/MUSIC: 7/10

Not having quite much to say to this section The Lucky Dime Caper features really funny and pleasant 8bit music that is really addictive in a way ( i had caught myself many times uttering those tunes). The atmosphere is what you can find in the most platform games of its time without being the reason to play it of course!

GRAPHICS: 8/10

Trees, ledges, grass, volcanos, dungeons is what you will see if you spend some time playing the Lucky Dime Caper. Designed with 8bit colors in a 2d environment cheerful graphicswas one of the reasons that kept me playing!

OVERALL: 7.5/10

Despite its clumpsy Donald's movement The Lucky Dim Caper its a really fun way to spend your time on a retro console that surely will give u you some reasons to smile reminding you of the golden era of Disney! So if you are a Disney or a retro games fan i suggest you dedicate some hours on this cute game!

The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening Review (Game Boy)

Genre: Action RPG

Developer: Nintendo Entertainment and Analysis Development

Publisher: Nintendo

Release Year: 1993

System: Game Boy

Hello dear bloggers!!! In this post ur gonna read a review of the so-called legendary classic The Legend Of Zelda: Link's Awakening. That's the 4th installemnt of the series and the only one that was released for the classic Game Boy.

PLOT: 9/10

Link's caught up in a storm

After the incidents of The Oracle of Seasons and The Oracle of Ages link travels with his boat across the seas only to be destroyed and washed ashore Koholint Island. Link is getting rescued by Tarin and his daughter Marin (she looks so much like Princess Zelda doesnt she?) and carried to their house back in the Island's village. After Link retrieves his sword from the beach a mysterious owl tells him that if if desires to escape leave that island he must wake the island's guardian the Windfish that sleeps in a giant egg on the top of Tamaranch Mountain. He can do that only by playing the Ballad of the Windfish in front of the egg when he would have collected all the eight instruments that are scattered in the eigt dungeons throughout Koholint Island. The plot features a golden age of the Zelda series being deep and quite ispired. Authentic and very Zelda! (I think its the only Zelda game that you actually see Zelda only in the title).

GAMEPLAY: 9/10

Retrieve the sword

The gameplay of the game follows the same logic as almost every installment there is. You cotrol link throughtout the game looking the world by an overhead perspective for the majority of the game. Link progresses in the game by entering and completing dungeons collecting weapons and accessories that will help him overcome obstacles that they were once impossible to pass. He collects heart containers that give him a bigger amount of life energy meaning that he lasts longer in battle.

Witch house

He carries quite an arsenal with him but he only can use 2 at the same time. One assigned to "A" button and one to the "B" button. The select button shows the map of the island and reveals only the location that Link has been to. With the Start button the player has access to the inventory of the game where he can see the weapons and the instruments collected (the map and compass if in dungeons) and the amount of rupees and hearts. As u already guessed the currency of Koholint island is what else? Rupees of course! With Start and Select pressed together you get the saving menu where you can save and exit or save and continue I really loved that thing Nintendo did there, putting characters and stuff from the Super Mario series like a coin-operated Yoshi doll trophy. The gameplay is easy to learn and addictive to play! A killing combination! Just a trial will convince you!

ATMOSPHERE/MUSIC: 10/10

Though a 2D game, the atmosphere is so maturely given that you can rarely find in games nowadays! Each location has its own unique soundtrack that expresses really well what graphics try to depict. This game has everything when it comes to music adventurous tunes, sad ones, or cheesy happy with the best of them being the Ballad of The Windfish (especially when played by all instruments together). Although the 8bit nature of the sounds and music themes Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening manages to pass the meanings to the players with a very charismatic way!

GRAPHICS: 9/10

Awakening the Windfish

Having to see it with a perspective like i am playing it in the 90's The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, has some really fancy and detailed graphics despite its lack of colors. With some nice physics and character movements Link's Awakening gets a 9/10 only because some items fail to look like what the really want to depict. Like some trees or ledges out in the wilderness but that just minor details. The graphics are really well entwined with what the game wants to offer.

OVERALL: 9.25/10

In a few words The legend of Zelda Link's Awakening is a fantasy story driven action rpg that draws te player in the dreamy world of the Windfish a must game of the Game Boy owners and an one life time exeprience for quality gamers!
