What Video Game Did I Play Yesterday?

Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse (Sega Genesis Mini)

April 23rd, 2023

I'm kind of scattered this morning, but managed to get some back end stuff done for this site this morning. It's nothing fancy, but it's not nothing, either.

Yesterday, I sat down and finished The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog, which was very entertaining. I didn't expect a free, April Fools Day visual novel to be any good, but it was cute and funny, with some nice artwork, and I also didn't predict the ending, which is fun. I did 100% cheat and turn on the built in assists for the action levels, since I didn't really want to mess with platforming during a VN and also don't like isometric setups that much. I didn't feel like that detracted from my enjoyment of things at all, though, and I'm hoping Sega tosses another of these out next year.

After having dropped it for over a year, I hooked up my Sega Genesis Mini to play Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse for a little bit, too. I don't remember why I dropped this game, but I didn't really have a good concept of where I'd last placed a save state, so I just started over. The controls maybe feel a little strange to me, especially Mickey's weird bouncy jump, but not bad.

I'm off to do crafts and eat a sandwich, both classic Sunday activities.
