I had this game on the Amiga when I was very young and I have so many amazing memories of playing this. The visuals were awesome, and the mini games were fun and non-repetitive. Such a great game!

Give me give me!!! A collection form the past. it as so much of my childhood graved on it. In this game, you must collect as many tresaures that you can, and letting Scroge Mcduck take a nosedive in his mountain of money. what is not to love? Played it when I was sick when I was a small kid, with my mother. Disney should make a remake... just saying. time to play your cards right GOG and give them this idea. ;) you are welcome! ps. If remaking this game, consider the versions. DOS and Amiga. look at the quality colors and sounds. love this game!

So many great memories playing this game. The platforming stages with Donald's Nephews were sometimes very tricky and the cave game was always scary for me as a kid because the mummy could jumpscare you. xD

Spider-Man: Edge of Time
Spider-Man: Edge of TimeSpider-Man: Edge of Time is a follow-up to Shattered Dimensions, and similarly it has more than one Spider-Man takes a starring role. Here, it is the regular, classic "Amazing" Spider-Man, and Spider-Man 2099 – in a story awash in time travel, temporal battles, and Anti-Venom. The backbone of this story seems to play out more like a Spider-Man 2099 story, since he is the only character truly aware of the happenings in the game, and the changes that both Spider-Men encounter. From the opening, things are bleak for Amazing Spider-Man who begins the game nearly dead, and 2099 is the only one who can help. A new villain Walker Sloan enters the picture with a plan to rebuild the past (from the year 2099) in his image and design, which turns to affect both Spider-Men. From this point, chaos unfolds in typical comic-book fashion with gameplay evenly split between Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099, with every other level interwoven with the events of one Spidey to the other.

Gex: Enter the Gecko
Gex: Enter the Gecko"Is it just me, or am I engulfed in flames?" is one of the many one-liners uttered by Gex, a wise cracking gecko who should check himself into television rehab; he's addicted to it. After saving the Television Realm from the evil Rez in his first adventure, the gecko was ready to kick back, relax, and watch a little television. Little did he know his adventure was just beginning. One day, two secret agent goons showed up at Gex's doorstep. They inform him that Rez is back and looking for vengeance; the evil monster is planning to destroy the Television Realm once more...and possibly the world. When Gex tells them that he's retired and doesn't care, one of the goons hits the gecko on the head and takes him to a secluded place. When Gex comes to, the mystery men plead with the gecko to take the cash and help destroy Rez for good...or at least make him disappear. With that incentive (the cash), the wise cracking lizard slips into his special agent suit and plunges headfirst into the Television Realm. Watch out, Rez -- Gex is back!
