The Disney Afternoon Collection is a compilation of classic action-platformer games from the beloved Disney animated television series of the late '80s and early '90s. Released in 2017 for platforms including PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, this collection features six nostalgic titles: DuckTales, DuckTales 2, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2, TaleSpin, and Darkwing Duck. Each game retains its original charm and pixel art style, transporting players back to their childhoods while revisiting characters like Scrooge McDuck, Baloo, and Darkwing Duck. The collection not only allows players to experience these classic games but also offers a range of modern features, including enhanced visuals, save states, and a rewind feature to help mitigate the inherent challenges of retro gameplay.
In addition to the core games, The Disney Afternoon Collection includes a museum mode that dives into the history of each title, as well as a timed challenge mode that encourages players to compete for high scores in specific levels. This blend of nostalgia and contemporary quality-of-life improvements makes it accessible to both long-time fans of these series and newcomers who may be exploring Disney's gaming legacy for the first time. With its charming graphics, catchy soundtracks, and tight gameplay, The Disney Afternoon Collection is a must-have for fans of retro gaming and Disney enthusiasts alike.
