This games reminds me of a friend I used to know who had a Genesis (I had an SNES at the time). Whenever I went over to his house this was one of the games he played. Although he is no longer around the memory of this game still reminds me of the good times we had in a simpler time.
Wow...unbelievable...I'm reading this 4 years after your post here. If you don't mind I'd also like to share something. I also had a friend, really good friend who on the first day we met, he said he would go over my house on drop off some NES games so me and my brother could play. Again, he said that on the very first day we met. We all became good friends and stuff and he was a reaaally good player. He beat all of his games. I'm talking about approximately 25 years ago when internet wasn't around and he never ever used magazines. So one day, he said, I'm gonna let you borrow this great game Battletoads (NES) so that you can play....After a couple of days, i said: Marcelo, this game is very difficult. He came by our house and beat the game in front of me and my older brother. Bonus? he beat it with no deaths at all. He was such a meticulous player. When I tell people that my friend beat the game without losing any lives, people still don't believe me. Unfortunately he's no longer with us, but every time I look at games here on youtube, it also reminds me of the good time me, him and my brother had. R.I.P. Marcelo!
Child curiousity + trial and error - brute forcing their way into life since forever. :)) I still remember how I used to trial and error that viking ghost ship level. It was confusing to navigate, but eventually I've managed to map the structure in my memory and find the exit. The Hindi-themed level was a nightmare though. The only thing that kept me going was, getting confused by the flute and bitten by that snake... xD Quackshot is one amazing game, even today. It was an excellent attempt at asymmetrical level design.
Everybody remembers Castle of Illusion, and while that was a fantastic game, this was always my favorite of the Sega-Disney partnership to come out for the Genesis. With Sega and Capcom, the early 90s was a great time for licensed Disney games.
yusakug Actually, I noticed that Quackshot wasn't THAT much popular in USA, while in Europe I can assure you that every genesis fan know this game, at least as much or more than Castle of illusion and World of illusion. As for myself, alongside with Aladdin Quackshot is my fav Disney game on genesis.
I was gonna say "maybe it's Disney's fault" but I looked up the Sega Mini and they had World AND Castle of Illusion on there so yeah, what the fuck, Sega?? That would've been a perfect Disney trilogy right there (let's ignore Fantasia)
@@theartofspeech9598 Then you have to get a third party - Virgin Interactive - involved... which involves Virgin, Sega AND Disney lawyers negotiating a deal. Hell has a sooner chance of freezing over lol
"1 sun 2 moon 3 star" I remember it took me forever to know what to do with that information. I had to rely on a well placed plunger to beat the ceiling.
jinxfire thank you but i needed this information 15 year ago, i never cleared that level because of those complicated combination for me. Good times, my chilhood. Thank you! I can die happy now. Greetings from Argentina.
Well imagine what a bitch of a game this was if you couldn't read any English as a kid. I played the first 2 or 3 levels for ages until I realised what you were supposed to do.
This game is so amazing, this was one of my favorites back in the sega days, I wish I still had it, I would so play it right now, thank you so much for your gameplay!
Whaaat?! I never knew that we could bypass the Egyptian puzzle that way! XD What a game, my first Mega Drive game and still one of my favorites! Thanks for that awesome long play :) Cheers!
Yeah, I discover the puzzle months after completing the game... me and my sister have waste a hundreds of hours trying to solve it the hard way .. and at the end we succeed. Glory years : ))
@@svetoslavpetrov5763 well you could read the item that tells the combination ;) I had a Japanese Mega Drive, so the text was in Japanese and there was no way I could read it.
I spent many happy days playing this as a kid. Brings back so many memories! Was really hard when you were young though, and I never finished it. They don't make fun adventures like this anymore.
It makes me sad that the studio behind the Castle of illusion remaster went under just before they had a chance to remaster this one next. I remember unlocking a PS4 trophy called Quackshot! during my play-through, and my hype and expectations went through the roof =\
Add Earthworm jim.. thst was such an underrated game.. great graphics and interesting world building, nothing was straight or perpendicular like regular side scrollers.. such a cool time in gaming.
29:09 See, when you get the Viking key, Odin pops up in your gaming room and you gotta arm wrestle him to prove you're worthy of it. The LPer evidently was worthy of it, so he left that pause in to remember the time he arm wrestled Odin to earn the viking key.
His movements makes him so cute. It was difficult to me to find out the things you need to pass every level. I speak spanish so it was complicated for me to finish the game when a was a kid. No violence and so fun to play for kids.
I got the game almost a year after its release back in 92. Kept coming back to replay it for many years after. Its homage to the Indiana Jones franchise was done beautifully, and really captured the adventurous essence of the series. Awesome to see elements from The Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade included in the game. I didn't notice any specific references to The Raiders of the Lost Ark, but if anyone else noticed any, please let me know.
If the title screen font, Donald's outfit, a jungle stage, a temple stage and a level set in India wasn't already obvious enough... that final boss confirms everything. All that's missing is the big rolling boulder LOL
@@AJR-zg2py actually, the big rolling boulder came from a Scrooge and Donald comics from 30 years before Indiana Jones. The whole movie opening is copied over that Carl Barks' comics.
@@lordxanxi8348 Oh, I'm totally aware. Thing is, 90% of people know the "big rolling boulder" from Raiders much more because it's from the last 40 years instead of like 75 lol
I managed to get to the first part of the Source Pole when I was 4 years old. Watching this makes me see what a feat that was. Pretty crazy how with how much time you had on your hands as a kid you could just trial and error an entire game. I emulated it when I was about 14 and thought I beat it when I beat Pete, had no idea about the secret island. Super cool to see it finally completed in front of my eyes after nearly 25 years.
Agrees wholeheartedly with your comment, I never saw this game, made to look soo effortless... This game brought me hours of fun and giggles, but more hours of frustration and anger, hahaha. Still a ckassic tho
27:19 - wait, WHAT?! You mean 12 yr old me could have just done THAT INSTEAD?! I used to FEAR this room every time I played, even after I had beaten the game several times...
I first played this game when i was 13 back in the lovely 90s. I was recovering from open heart surgery and I reached the point where I could go home and heal. But i was still pretty much confined to my bed. I had to stay at my grandparents house because they had an actual bed. At home my bed was the couch heh. So i stayed in bed and played video games. My parents had bought me Sonic and Knuckles for making it through the surgery and this was one of many games that they rented for me. This was before robotic doctor arms made heart surgery a simple procedure, they had to crack open my rib cage. Broken ribs are no joke. That stuff hurts yo.
I used to rent this at a video store down the street called Sight and Sound, and ultimately bought their rental copy when they were selling it in the mid 90s. As a kid I played World of Illusion a lot more since I already owned it for a few years and actually managed to beat it several times. I'd struggle with Quackshot, however (I don't think I ever beat the Viking Ship boss as a kid) but yesterday, I finally sat down and beat the entire game after dying COUNTLESS times on the Island stage.
I love this game but never completed it, little child me couldn’t figure out what to do with the clues. I’m glad to see (and hear!) this game again, and finally see how it ends!
Amazing game and beautiful sountracks , takes me back to my childhood. I used to play this game all day long . The Egypt mission was tough one for me to pass.
Your a genius shooting dracula from under him with the plunger i never thought to do that homie i always just used popcorn xD good shit man this game was my fucking jam back in the day. Sega does what Nintendont!! ;)
Loved this game back in the day. Probably my favorite Genesis game, actually. I'd love to see a re-master/ update of this game ala DuckTales. Updated graphics and sound, more complex boss battles. maybe throw in a few hidden treasures and secrets, etc. I really like the design of the Viking boss. When I was younger, I remember thinking it was kind of creepy, but in a good way.
As a kid, i managed to reach hideout only to get the game froze on me, the poor old genesis was so overheated due to the amount of hours it take me to even reach that far. There was not even a password system! So if you ever turn it off it was back to square one. I still remember how mad i got, It was right here 39:44. Years later i had my sweet revenge when i beat it through emulators. Anyway, great longplay and great game, but so friggin hard.
I played this game a few days ago, and in that part the first thing that came to my mind is see what information is in the inventory. And there it is clearly written "1 sun 2 moon 3 star".
This game was fantastic, but i find hilarious when ppl say that back then games offered better value for the price. Most games i had for my Nes, Snes and Megadrive could be completed in less than one hour. Today games with 100+ hours of gameplay are common. Nostalgia does blinb many people!
Paulo Lameiras. They aren't common though. Most games are not 100 plus hours long, You are thinking of popular Rpg games and yet they are actually not that common compared to other genres in gaming. Most Fps shooters can be completed in 6 hours even on the hardest difficulty because hard games now and hard games then are planets apart. I still prefer old games because I used strategy and trial and error to win. That's not to say that I hate new games but I prefer the old ones. I actually enjoyed Oblivion more than Skyrim so the new games vary.
Old comment I know but although old games are short, they're difficult to complete and took hours to learn the mechanics. Look at Mario Bros in original famicom, people still play it and try to get the best time out of it till this day.
Turbo Gear777 The games of old are made as though the games of new. You guys just grew up with them, and thus, remember them fondly. Subjectivity is easily tricked. Anything that lines up with a person's character, the more they do so, the more they'd like. Objectively speaking, many games back then fell victim to the developers ot bothering to even try putting in proper thought, the same sort of attitude many developers of this day have. Many won't notice. however. since subjectivity is easily tricked. Games like Quackshot and Sonic the Hedgehog are made by those who actually bothered to try putting in proper thought. This is why they pale in comparison to many other games, including those of their era. (Fun fact: Some games back then, RPG's notably, are as big back then as they are now.)
Uhm nope most games that offer 100+ of gameplay have boring gameplay and basically introduce grindfest or clickbait mechanic. The thing is that most games of that time were harder and gave the feel of achievement when you completed them. Not to mention that there were some interesting concepts and some experimental stuff while nowadays devs have to follow the proven formula and make the conveyor stuff or go indy.
I was about 9 years old when I played this, it was the first game that really made me think in order to progress through the game. This is akin to Ocarina of Time as far as gameplay goes imo, just great classic game.

You were right, at that's the end of that.
Not even on PC
Some of the best graphics ever made - till this day. A true classic in gaming history.

Memories that's all I can say I remember playing this & beating the game.
I just beat it again after many years. Still a cool little game with charm.

Games like Quackshot and Sonic the Hedgehog are made by those who actually bothered to try putting in proper thought. This is why they pale in comparison to many other games, including those of their era.
(Fun fact: Some games back then, RPG's notably, are as big back then as they are now.)
Uhm nope most games that offer 100+ of gameplay have boring gameplay and basically introduce grindfest or clickbait mechanic. The thing is that most games of that time were harder and gave the feel of achievement when you completed them. Not to mention that there were some interesting concepts and some experimental stuff while nowadays devs have to follow the proven formula and make the conveyor stuff or go indy.
I love the random ass characters giving you advice.
Although not highly challenging, the game is still quite fun to play. Most of the music is good too.
I always thought it was weird how Donald eats grilled chicken... Is that like a man eating a grilled chimp?
JohnACorp782 you must be fun at parties
So angry
Great!
this looks like ducktales but its Ducktales 3 Donalds awakening
I’m sure the music for the hideout and great duck island were the other way round on my mega drive copy
The heck, you could skip the Sun/Wind/Star/Moon puzzle?!?! I remember that room always gave me anxiety back in the day.
I only learned that after internet came out 😀. Before the internet I only passed that part by gliding and hoping to get across by luck 🤷🏻♀️.
hhhhhhhhnnnnnggggg.... right in the childhood!
Yeah, for real.
I was about 9 years old when I played this, it was the first game that really made me think in order to progress through the game. This is akin to Ocarina of Time as far as gameplay goes imo, just great classic game.
Loved this game so much! Thanks for uploading!
Lol even the bats have Pete's face 😆
Esse foi o jogo que despertou meu senso de aventura quando era criança. Amo Quack shot.
Infância maravilhosa , jogar mega drive , os melhores games arcade que já criaram , castle of ilusion , Shinobi
An amazing re-purposing of an Indiana Jones game proof-of-concept if I ever saw one.
Father Wendigo yeah hahahaha
The Egyptian puzzle room always reminded me of the paet in Alex Kidd in Miracle World where you have to solve a similar puzzle. Both awesome games.
