Deep Duck Trouble Starring Donald Duck,[a] is a 1993 platform game developed by Aspect and published by Sega for the Master System and Game Gear. The game follows Donald Duck on his journey to rescue his uncle Scrooge McDuck from a mysterious curse.

Gameplay

[edit]

This game is a platform game reminiscent of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, as both have similar gameplay elements.

Donald's primary ways of attacking are kicking blocks (some of which contain diamonds or ice cream cones) and consuming chili peppers, which temporarily enable Donald to plow through all enemies at high speed. The player can choose map locations to begin the game. If a player loses three lives, the game is over.

Plot

[edit]

While on a treasure hunt on a tropical island, Donald Duck's uncle Scrooge McDuck finds a golden amulet hanging on the neck of a gold statue. Unfortunately, after Scrooge is far from the island, the amulet curses Scrooge to blow up like a balloon.

Donald Duck sees the sight of his inflated uncle and goes on a journey to take the amulet back to the statue.

Release

[edit]

In 1999, Majesco re-released this game, under license from Sega, in the United States.

Reception

[edit]

The game has received "favorable" reviews, according to Sega Magazine.[1] They game the Sega Master System version a 80% while they gave the Sega Game Gear version an 81%.[1]
